Paris- CITY OF LIGHTS...

Few years ago, my little box and I packed for a short stay in Paris ,

Five weeks to be exact for the romance with the country to blossom

All things french ignites the spark within me,

the life, culture, fashion , le langue francais....

Still trying to get back to grips with the language...

So back to the drawing board...

How did it inspire me?

There were lots of mannequins in dresses, with lots of detailing around the waist that further emphasized their shape.

waist BELTS - are now my favorite accessory
