Because everything’s prettier in Paris
Seeing some of my favorite bloggers share their Parisian excursions (Grace, Alex, Mae, Liz), I guess you could say I’ve got a case of Parisian paralysis…that is, I can’t do much else but wish I was there too. A touch of sparkle, bows, and petite tailored details is what’s getting me through:
No. 1. J.Crew chambray blouse, paillette skirt 2. Ted Baker ‘Paddie Bow’ iPad case 3. The Paris Wife, by Paula McLain (currently reading/loving) 4. Bauble Bar Savoy Pendant (great to dress up a plain tee or sweater) 5. Diptyque ‘Lait Frais’ lotion (bought this over the weekend…orange blossom water and almond oil!) 6. Zara black patent peep toes 7. Gramercy & Co. black/white lacquer boxes 8. Zara sequined ballerina flats 9. Madewell polka dot blouse (I’ve got the tie-front version and it’s the cutest!) 10. Inslee Haynes 2012 calendar
What’s your current inspiration destination?

NYC. Fingers crossed I will be there before the end of the year for work. Hoping with all my heart I get the job……….it is literally the only thing on my mind, 24/7.
