I'm Baaaaack!


Although I've been back from vacation for over a month, getting back into the groove of things have kept me from my blog. Well that and the fact that I broke my camera in Paris  :(   so taking pictures for outfit posts have been impossible. On a side note, I'm still researching what camera to get next so recommendations are greatly appreciated.

As promised in my last post in August, I still want to share some of my pics from Paris so please bear with me, they're coming lol. Below is the outfit I wore on a day trip to Palace of Versailles. I can't stress enough how this place should be a 'Must Visit' if the opportunity is ever presented to you. It was one of the top 5 highlights of my vacation. 
Romper and belt: American Apparel; Hat: H&M; Sleeveless coverup: A/X; Watch: Michael Kors
Please excuse the quality of the photos, my camera actually broke in the hall of mirrors {pictured above} so I had to substitute with my iPhone camera.
The garden of Versailles.....utterly breathtaking



There is so much to do there other than the palace and the gardens. I'm still kicking myself for not getting to try the row boats and one of the restaurant in the garden. Each place you turned there was just something new to discover. And if your not a fan of walking the massive maze garden, which I think is impossible, they do rent bikes and trolleys to take you around.

 The Apollo fountain. Apollo the sun god emerging from the water. My camera definitely failed to capture all the amazing details of this fountain.

Mulit-colored Robe

On Day 2 of sightseeing in Paris, our agenda included making a couple of museum visits. The most anticipated was the Louvre. This robe reminded me a bit of water color paintings when I first spotted it at H&M, and I thought it would pair well with some of the artwork we would see that day. I added a few other color accents in the skirt, belt and shoes to finish off the artsy look.

Robe & Camisole: H&M;  Skirt: Brooklyn Industries;  Ring: Gifted;  Belt: Old Navy;  Sandals: 2010 purchase from store in Madrid 


Added a hat to protect the tresses from sun damage; this one from H&M

Trying Escargot (cooked with garlic & parsley butter) for the first time....AND LOVING IT! 

More highlights of my trip to London & Paris to come in a later post.
