City of Lights

Inspired by my recent trip to Paris, I feel compelled to show my favorite selections from Chanel Spring 2012 Paris Fashion Week, along with my own photos from my trip. Fashion, antique shopping and travel, a few of "my favorite things". 

Most of my time in Paris was spent discovering rare antiques in the Parisian flea markets and Left Bank antique shops with one of the most talented designers in the country, and former employer Josie McCarthy.

Such an amazing learning experience for where I am now! Enjoy!
