One Week Until Paris | Contest Winner, Katelyn O.

Yves Saint Laurent — Wed, 23 Dec 2009 14:19:44 +0000

In a week I will be in Paris…one week! Thanks to everyone’s help of course! Goodness, I never could of won this without you all. Merci!

So…on to packing and planning: what to bring? What to wear? Weather has been quite chilly I hear in this city of lights and I have one coat that should help me brave ‘le bonhomme d’hiver’. If the coat fails, (and even if it doesn’t) I do plan to grab a cup of cocoa on Rue de Rivoli…it’s called “l’africain” (*mmm c’est si bon!), I shall also purchase and pop pastel-colored macaroons into my mouth like m&m’s and warm my hands with a fresh croissant day-in and day-out. Sounds like a decent plan, non?

As far as New Year’s Eve goes…any suggestions on what to wear? I’m afraid I’ll freeze with the simple dress and tights combination…alas, the french do have a remedy for such misfortunes….bon champagne! *Merry Christmas/ Joyeux Noel!!! (and truly, a thousand thanks…what a joyous gift to be able to take a journey with a dear friend! merci.merci.merci!
