FM40 STYLE | PARIS, PART UNE (sights, shopping and what I wore)

What to pack for 48 hours in Paris? Just the mention of Paris can send you into a style panic as the French just do style effortlessly. 

I needed things that would take me from day to night and a warm coat for the main reason of the trip, the England rugby match. I also had to be sensible with what I packed as we decided to take only carry on luggage. 

After, arriving Friday early evening it was a quick shower and change for a meal out. I went for my favourite evening look of pretty top (my Self Portrait top got its first outing), black cigarette pants, heels and a black leather jacket.

Saturday I needed something that would take me from day to evening and I settled on my dicker boots, Ba&sh black top, grey jeans and the only handbag I brought with me, my Chanel flap bag.

My dicker boots were the perfect choice of footwear for the day, they are perfectly comfy for a stroll around Tuileries Garden and Jardin du Palais-Royal. The warm padded coat came in handy also as it was quite cool in Paris on Saturday. 








Of course a visit to Paris wouldn't be complete without a little shopping and we stumbled across Village Royale on Rue Royale, where I thought I had been transported to a village in southern France rather than being in Paris. A fabulous collection of shops, Dior, Chanel and Anne Fontaine to name but a few. 




Eeny, meeny, miny, moe??? Just trying on for size .......

Sunday was just a case of a nice leisurely breakfast and then back to the airport for our flight back to reality and I wore the black ripped jeans I travelled in, my back ankle boots and my Cecilie Copenhagen top.

A perfect weekend, strolling along tree lined avenues, with magnolias and cherry blossoms starting to bloom, taking in the sights and of course the grand slam win, Paris I miss you already.
