Europe has taken a piece of my soul and a large chunk of my bank account, really. I enjoyed every second of Paris, even the parts when we got lost and wandered aimlessly. I’m back in the UK, and excited to be among the celebration of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee. I plan to spend this weekend celebrating, and trying to relax a bit before my last days of the trip. In the meantime, here are some bits from the week.

Paris so far has been intoxicating in more ways than one.  From the beautiful language and breathtaking views, to the rich flavors and unbelievable architecture, my sister and I have tried to indulge in every last minute here.  Yesterday, we reminded ourselves that we were on vacation and it was not necessary to see absolutely everything, but more important to enjoy what was in front of us in the present.  As hard as it was, we did everything at a slow and leisurely pace (and it helped that it was still light out at 9pm) – we had a very long and late lunch paired with wine, soaked in the sun in front of the Eiffel Tower, strolled along the Seine, and finished the night with drinks and many laughs by the Moulin Rouge.

I’m looking forward to the last two days here and have plenty of photos to share, but in the meantime, here are a few good things I’m currently loving/ craving/ etc.

1.  Denim with leather detailing that can make any look a bit edgier.
2.  Lucite shades that are just far too fun to pass up.
3.  Wedges that are comfortable and more importantly, affordable.
4.  Head accessories - enough said.
5.  Floral print that I can’t get enough of.
6.  Shades of white (waltz) as a great change up for summer nails.
