Random Parisian Thoughts

My sweet friend Susu at Susu Paris Chic blog always inspires me to want to write long comments to her incredibly lovely posts.  This stylish lady has so much fun with fashion. **sigh** I need to learn how to operate my camera.  Maybe her inspiration is so keen because she is in Paris?!

Quite often I am so entrenched in the corporate world of reports and numbers, my creative side absolutely shuts down. Ever have that problem?   I've been thinking about why I started a blog in the first place, and that was to explore my interest in fashion, decorating, writing, photography, all of which is completely outside of what I do everyday.  As I prepare to begin 2-years of an MBA program, I know that I want to focus on business in these areas as well as my current occupation.  Of course I will always love analysis, but fashion, trend, design analysis would be a fun and profitable 2nd career. 

Sacre Coeur

Reading Susu's Paris fashion post, made me think of my own trip to Paris with such fond remembrance as though it were yesterday.  Paris is the only place where I have ever felt alive in everything I did, which is likley why I remember the trip with such clarity.  The energy was just unlike anywhere else.  New York has incredible energy, but different from France, or should I say Paris. I actualy WANTED to fit in, to be a part of the city and community.  That is not common for me, I tend to be as disengaged as possible for reasons unknown to me.  I remember my trip as if it were yesterday, the feelings it produced, of happiness and just of being. Just last night I realized that it has been 5-years! Time to plan a trip...Other than your home, do you have a place in the world that you love?

Little Black Boho Dress

As you can see, I'm renovating my blog. So I lost widgets, pictures, ggggrrr.
Might be nice to actually see the dress, right? I actually love photography, but I'm just learning...I guess you have to start somewhere...








I'm in love with this dress found in a little boutique in La Jolla, Ca. It can be worn so many ways, of course I had to wear it to the office, so I added pearls. I just ordered a Tori Spelling necklace which would look great with it too, and then there are the J Crew necklaces... It has embroidery all the way around the dress, which is amazing to me for the cost of the dress. Love the puffy sleeves. I would have worn sky-high heels, but instead wore kitten heal sandals because I've been nursing a severely bruised toe for 3 weeks...(I'm having a real crisis about the heel thing...) The bag is from PARIS! A little shop that made bags next to the hotel that I stayed in...aaaahhhh seems like yesterday....
