Fashion Update
If there is one city that defines fashion, it is Paris. Knowing that you are stepping into the fashion capital of the world can be intimidating. Fortunately, most of us do not feel obliged to look like we just stepped off the runway. But at the same time, there is a certain sense of confidence that comes from being somewhat in touch with the current fashion trends.
With friends in the fashion industry in Paris, I am always being “updated” when I am there. I definitely tend toward the more conservative side, so they are usually encouraging me to step out a bit. The best part is coming home with some new fashion accessory, and of course, my girls love to be the recipients of all such things!
However, on my most recent trip to Paris, I decided I do a quick fashion check before I started packing. I was delighted to find a website that had just the perfect information: Click here.
As you read through different fashion articles you sometimes have to wonder, who says this is the newest look? But I really like Paris Escapes’ “What Parisians are Wearing” approach. As I read over the Winter 2009 column, I was pleased to see that what I needed was mostly in my closet and ready to go. When I arrived, I realized just how accurate their reporting had been. Now I have this site bookmarked for a seasonal visit.
