Paris

I went to Luxembourg for work and stopped through Paris over the weekend. After a busy week, little sleep and an early flight, I was ready for some site seeing. I found a fabulous black scarf in Luxembourg that will go with a lot. The purple suede shoes are fun and typically comfortable, but were not for all the walking I did.

My hotel room wasn't yet, so I walked around with my big weekend bag until I got in the room. (I carry it on planes because they never count it as a suitcase, and I will carry it on the plane for an extra carry on. Then I downsize when I land. ;-)

After my room was ready, I got ready and met my coworker for some shopping. We went to Champs-Élysées Avenue in Paris with all of the shops. I loved the cafes and and little shops. I did a lot of shopping, but overall the style left me a bit flat. Seemed like there were more club type clothes or brands I could get here in Seattle for a cheaper price. The one thing that everyone had in Europe it seemed (in both Luxembourg and Paris that week) was a leopard print scarf. I counted at least 11 different kinds. I'm glad I packed mine! It's always easy to dress up a simple t-shirt or cami when traveling and takes up little room in the suitcase.
