Taking my bargain deals to Europe:)

I was fortunate enough to be taking my dream vacation to Europe in with my husband.  We headed to London, Paris and Rome to explore all the wonderful amenities, history and culture.  One of the things I looked forward to most while I was over there is to experience the shopping.  Paris is known as one of the biggest fashion inspirations in the world.  Just missing fashion week in Paris by a few weeks saddened me as it ran from September 25-October 3.  I was also very intrigued to be on the look out for markets as I heard they were great places to find great buys and souvenirs for loved ones.

Packing for this trip was one of the hardest things i have ever tried to do.  Monitoring the weather is one thing, but who’s to say that will stay relevant?!  I had packed around 20 outfits and tried to utilize the same shoes and accessories since I was given strict orders by my husband that we will not be walking around all of these cities with 10 suitcases.  And then of course, I always have to figure in space to bring things back in.  I encouraged him to save as much space as possible:)

 Here are some of my fashion choices while on our trip:)
