Photos! Lots!
Filed Under Paris/London 2008 | Leave a Comment
I did my best to pare down my photo collection—from 870 to 219—for your viewing pleasure. I even went through and gave them all titles, and some captions too! Noelle also uploaded a small collection; she’s got funny captions. Be sure to also stay tuned to my daily photo blog; photos from this trip should keep me stocked for a few months at the very least. And lastly, I signed …continue reading

In addition, many of their coats are unlike anything I’ve seen; very trendy. They—both women and men—are very well-dressed, including the cute hats women wear and the stylish, pointy loafers that men sport. During my last morning in Paris, I visited Le …continue reading
