C Is For Croissant & A Little Chanel

I'm off to Paris, for fashion week, to see my sister, to hang with a few friends, to celebrate two b'days (woo woo) but mostly to find a bunch of cuties to show you here.
But what to pack... ahhhh... when i found myself staring blankly into my closet yesterday afternoon i realised i was totally uninspired. I've worn all my favorites over and over (and over) this winter, i can't see any new combos and Spring might be just round the corner but i'm looking at weather.com and it ain't quite here yet. 
Ok, i needed to do a little research, put some thought into how i wanna look in Paris, what i should pack - cos if you're not born with that French gene, the one that makes it all come naturally, the one that makes you look like you're never trying too hard, well, then this stuff takes a little effort. So i looked, i think, at every Paris Vogue i've ever bought, and it reminded me of one thing, to keep it simple, just super simple - which is lucky, cos simple's what i own - and i think i might have just enough (simple) to get me through the week :) SO i'm packing stripes, and blue jeans (the ones that fit real good) and denim shirts, i'm taking that old RL blazer, my trench and black shoes, only black, repettos, converse, riding boots, a pair of heeled lace ups for night. And if i had a little red right now, especially the washed out variety, i'd be packing that - it feels right for that city, hmmm, i don't have any. But what else, that isn't enough. Ok yes, a black and white sequin Sonia R dress for my parties and a leather skirt too, some soft white tee shirts and one more blazer, black and white tweed, oh and faded grey jeans. Ok that'll do, i think it's gonna work, i hope i feel just a little chic, i'm off to go stuff it all into my case, see you soon.
