Back from Rome this morning to spend a few more days in Paris before returning home. This time in Paris we aren't in the middle of a heat wave. 81 degrees in Paris feels MUCH better than 99 degrees. A lot more people were out than a week ago, and dressed more like Parisians because in 99 degrees, even the Parisians hung up the black and took out the shorts . Also learned that this is fashion week in Paris. All I can think of is "The Devil wears Prada". Emily? Oscar de la Renta showed yesterday. I'd love to see any runway show just once. By the way, splurged a little for my hotel (attached photos) these last few days, and by splurged "a little", I mean "a lot". But life is short and you only live once. Sometimes you just have to do it. unique short homecoming dresses
