My Paris Find - The Start of My Love Affair with Lipault ... & What I Wore

It all started on our FIRST day in Paris!! Ms. E and I were strolling around our neighbourhood in the Marais to familiarize ourselves with the area. When we stumbled across the newly opened Lipault boutique... looked innocent enough from the outside.

But one step inside and your eyes dance from piece to piece in a symphony of colours.  And as much as the friendly sales man encouraged me to touch the luggage, open it, experience it ... I tried hard to resist - but one innocent touch and I knew as my fingers delicately ran over the exterior I had to learn more... and I knew it was going to be trouble!!!

Strolling Around Ottawa in Pink Tartan

I was recently in Ottawa for a speaking engagement and was happy that I brought along my Pink Tartan floral trench. It was a crisp morning as I walked to a local salon for a blow out.

With freshly washed and blown out hair, I'm ready to explore along Elgin Street.

 
 
 
 
 

This trench has become one of my favourite autumn wardrobe pieces. I managed to score it on sale in the summer and have been patiently waiting for the cool temps to arrive. It is beautifully lined and the back pleat is soft and flattering. And the floral soft pink and grey tones make it timeless.

Look at how convenient and space saving this trench packs up - whether for taking in your suit case or popping into your tote for those unpredictable early autumn days.

Let's Travel, shall we ...

With the promise of sun filled weather "just around the corner" as the weatherman keeps promising. Though we arrived home to pretty much the weather we experienced for a week in the Netherlands ... RAIN and dampness ... not a good combination for someone who has had multiple bone fractures. Nevertheless, traveling to foreign places was one of my favourite things to do and I plan to do a lot more of it the months and years ahead.

How fabulous it would be if we could all travel via private jet? Where you step out of the car and only need to walk steps - not miles across an airport terminal, from check-in to boarding - and the only luggage you concern yourself with is the gorgeous handbag dangling from your arm. Oh the wonderful stylish outfits we could dress in to arrive perfectly fresh and stylish looking at our destination.

Alas this is not the "norm" for most of us ... not for moi, anyways. But ladies you can still travel in style. Leave your Lulu Lemons at home, and the bulky sweat shirts, and the flip flops (I couldn't believe what women were wearing at the airport on our trip to the Netherlands, last week)! Here are a couple of ways to wear jeans, or khakis and still look stylish.

Wedges can be just as comfortable as a flat shoe, and for petite (vertically challenged such as moi) ladies give us some height and make our legs look longer and slimmer. I do take a pair of slip on slippers for the actual flight (in a future post, I will share what I pack in my carry on).

What is your tip to looking stylish while travelling ?
