Mike and I have been working hard to book and plan this trip for months now and all of my money-saving-stinginess and devotion has finally paid off! The entire trip is booked, from our hotels and apartments down to our train tickets and itineraries. I've even made myself a little outfit guide to follow if i'm lacking imagination while i'm there (but really how could places like Paris and Barcelona do anything but add to my creativity...)
I've slowly begun putting things into my suitcase, packing the warm clothes at the bottom for the end of my trip in Nice and Barcelona...
Now I'm at my parents house relaxing by a really cozy fireplace and eating chocolate fondue. Mike is gone for the week and I have a bunch of free time so if anyone else is in the same boat and would like to do breakfast, lunch, dinner, drinks, coffee or even just go to the park and soak in the last of the warm autumn days, i'd be more than happy to do so!
Kristina and I have been spending copious amounts of time treasure hunting together.. as we always do when the boys are on the road, and i've come across some pretty fantastic finds in the last couple of weeks...here is one of about 30 self portraits i took the other day...the result of having a new camera (which i just learned how to use) a great sunroom, too much time on my hands and the apartment all to myself!!
the sweater is a beautiful pale pink angora sweater with little pearl detailing on the front...
the shoes are the Jeffrey Campbells I ordered off e-bay that are too comfy to be real...
the bag is going to be my school bag this january and also conveniently fits my laptop!
the little pink umbrella with a frilly trim and beautiful gold handle was at village for 2.99$!
and the little white dress in the background that a lady was selling for 5$ at the St Michel flea market (where i found the bag) just so happenned to fit me! I was gonna buy it just to hang it in my room but now i've worn it twice and love it. I can't figure out when exactly its from but it doesn't really matter to me.
Aside from these wonderful finds, I also managed to pick up a gorgeous pale blue swinger style knee length coat with big blue buttons and the ultimate birthday party dress that i plan on wearing this friday when people come and celebrate Stef's homecoming as well as my going away and both of our birthdays over at my place!!
I hope everyone had a lovely halloween!!!!
