Letters from Paris-Last Day


Shoes:Havaianas
Sunnies: Oliver Peoples
Probably the hottest day during our trip.
So, I opted for a lighweight dress and flip flops.

On our last day in Paris, we went to Gallery
Lafayette. I still had hope as to find some of
the things on my shopping list. And....

There it was, the Gucci bag I have lusted
after, on a 50 percent sale off. Heaven indeed!
Needles to say, I was very happy.


Not only was the mall huge, they had all
high end designer items, a floor of handbags,
a floor of shoes and tons of great stuff. Since
it was sales, there was very limited sizes,
however I did end up with some great deals.


Shopping:
-Gucci handbag
-French Connection jumpsuit
-Ombre dress
-Pink leather filofax
-Pink leather passportholder
Not all the things that I wanted, but I was
very happy with what I got.

The champagne bar. A nice thouch. Since
we were on a time limit, I opted to shop.
However, they did have my favorite Rose Moet ..
Todays tip: If you shop at department store,
make sure they fill out the tax form for you,
it will go so smothly at the airport. I think you
have to spend over 180 euros in a shop to get
back any taxes. Its worth it though, I get back
around 100 on my spendings.
Very sad to go. I had such an amazing time.
I could have stayed for many more days.
Thank you for all your lovely comments, I
hope I have inspired you with our journey.

Dress: H&M
Ballerinas: H&M
Scarf:Bik Bok
Handbag: Vintage Chanel
Macarones in every flavor. I bought cheese, bread,
Macarones and Champagne to bring home.

I will post pictures of all the things I got as I wear them
in the upcoming days.

Tax free shopping:
-Biotherm all about eyes
-Biotherm lotion, I highly recommend this
-Biotherm age fitness facial cream
-Yves Saint Laurent fuschia lipstick 128
-Good champagne
-While waiting for plane I picked up all
my favorite magazines and I am still
working through them now, back home. So, it
was a good thing I did not spend my budget, beacuse
now I have even more money towards my fall wardrobe...


Au revior Paris! Cant wait to see you again.

I will go to Printemps tomorrow to buy a bag; these two places are so cool -Printemps and Layafette- to buy on sales. Paris is getting better, it's a pity you are leaving; maybe we have seen each other on the street but didn't recognize because I was there today too!

Rebecca, A Clothes Horse sa...

Gorgeous dresses. You make me want to visit Paris very desperately!
AS for vintage shops, yes there are a good number in my area and also I feel the secondhand shops are better (less picked over) in the countryside (where I am) than in cities.

Elizabeth sa...

Congratulations on that Gucci score.

Your beautiful account of your Paris trip made me feel I was there. It was very well done, and the photos were lovely. Thank you very much for taking so much time taking us along.
