Marc By Marc Jacobs - Petal to the Metal Natasha Bag

Before my trip to NYC, I was on the hunt for a new crossbody bag. I wanted a stylish bag with multiple pockets that would also be comfortable to use, while traveling. I wanted a bag that was durable to carry many items, while at the same time adding more to my outfit.   So by pure luck, when I was shopping at Holt Renfrew with a friend before my trip,  I stumbled upon this beauty to the right. This Marc By Marc Jacobs bag was the prefect bag for my trip. After using this bag during my  trip to the big apple, I can understand why this bag is one of Marc Jacobs popular choice among fashionistas! First and foremost, the material is durable and it has many hidden compartments. So I was able to carry my passport and feel safe that I was not going to misplace it.  In addition, I felt my bag was always organized because the multiple compartments allowed me to store items in specific pockets. The strap was adjustable and also comfortable. So my shoulders were not aching after the endless hours of walking/ sightseeing. Lastly, the colours for this purse were beautiful. Each season this purse is released in colours that reflect that season. I went with the nude colour as this was a nice choice for a summer retreat. Without a doubt, traveling with this purse made me feel and look good!

Paris Shopping - Post Seven - Khakis Pants

Can you believe the holidays are just around the corner? The last time I wrote a post, the leaves were changing colour and Starbucks was still serving pumpkin spice latte. Now, houses are lit up and the red holiday cups are back at my nearby Starbucks. Heck, Christmas music is playing non stop everywhere too. I love this time of year. Why? Because I love snow! It is beautiful and romantic. (So if there is anyone out there listening...I am hoping and dreaming for a white Christmas!! Pretty Please!!!) Plus, the holiday festivals that occur around my city are fun too! As promised, this is my last post about my shopping spree in Paris! So I will make this entry brief. I have never been a fan of wearing khakis pants. I feared the possibility of sitting somewhere and getting them dirty. However, I overcame my fear and bought a pair, while shopping at Paris' Bazaar de l'Hotel de Ville. In this department store, the women's section was divided and organized by brands. It reminded me of Bloomingdale's or The Bay or a Sears. Anyways I bought a pair of rolled up khakis, which allows me to tuck in my shirt. I can't wait to wear them next Spring or Summer and pull off the preppy sailing look. 

PS. In August, I went back to NYC for a few days with a good friend. I had an amazing time and shopped a lot too! So stay tune as I blog more this week about the items I bought in NYC! Cheers friends!
