here’s what happened in paris

I end my holidays in Paris, always.Simply because I feel I belong there, and maybe one day I will… Anyway, I stay in the same hotel for a week, near the Arc de Triumph, and on day one hardly leave my room, just sitting at the desk, and writing, while staring at the Eifel Tower and the Arc. It doesn’t get any better than that, I assure you or those who have the same feeling about Paris.

But I couldn’t wait, especially since I fell in love with and bought a camel coat (see below), a color and style I’d been looking for a while.

And by cold I mean below 58degrees F. 🙂             (shopping guide and source}
