Spring Is Finally Here!!!

Bonjour Mes Amis! I did not know Paris could get any prettier but boy does she shine under the Parisian soleil. Yesterday's high was 73, so me and some friends met up in Jardin des Tuileries to enjoy a picnic under the sun. It was a beautiful day filled with wine, friends, sun and food!! We even made new Parisian friends, the boys gave us tips on picking up Parisians boys (which will most definitely come in handy). I cannot believe that my time in this amazing city is almost coming to the end but that give me more of a reason to explore 24/7. Ready, Set...EXPLORE!!

Spring in Paris

While abroad in Paris, I have been fortunate enough to bear witness to a vast range of distinct and tasteful fashion trends on a daily basis.  Quite recently, the Parisian sun decided to make a very fashionable and much welcomed entrance, signaling that spring has sprung in the City of Amour. On the more sunnier days, I spend my afternoons in the various parcs around the city. I was in Jardin des Tuileries the other afternoon enjoying the soleil after class and caught up with a friend by the pond. 

I kept my outfit simple by pairing my favorite forest green military inspired jacket from Banana Republic with a classic très French black and white striped top from H&M. For the bottoms, I went with some high-waisted Zara shorts with black tights to keep my legs warm. As for the footwear, I sported my new Zara flats with gold metal detail on the tip. Since school had just gotten out, I had my school supplies in my black LongChamp bag and my Linda Farrow sunnies.

C'est Simple

Since the weather is starting to cool down and actually feel like winter (for once), I decided to sport my tailored creme peacoat with a basic black outfit under it. With Paris coming soon, I know I am going to get a lot of use of this coat because it keeps me super warm with the wool material. Apparently January is the coldest month in Paris, but it is pretty much cool for most of the year except for June/July/August. I am looking forward to the light beautiful drizzly rain and the cool dreary days in Paris because I think Paris is one of the few cities in the world that shines in any type of weather. And of course, my little Casper had to make an appearance; one thing that he is not is camera shy.
