Paris Fashion Week 2012...

Some of you already know that I am heading to Europe next week, and yes I am very excited. Even though I have lived in the States for just over 14 years now, my heart truly belongs to Europe, and I always feel a sense of 'coming home' every time I go there.  I have a great life here in the States, indeed my husband is American, and I've been fortunate enough to make some wonderful friends here, but still it is not home.

My trip will involve heading to three amazing destinations in Europe.  Paris, Italy and a brief stop in London.  We will be spending a few day's in Paris en route to Sorrento, Italy for my nephew's wedding to his beautiful Italian bride.  The church ceremony will be held in the town of Positano (think of the movie Under The Tuscan Sun with Diane Lane), and my entire family will be travelling from all parts of the globe to meet in Sorrento to attend this joyous event.  It will be wonderful not only to be in one of my favorite places in the world but to also have all family members in attendance, including my wonderful parents, siblings, nieces and nephews.

I will be away for nearly a month and while I'm away I will not be able to write my daily blog posts, but I will be writing about my adventures upon my return and posting pictures of the wedding (including me in my outfit and fabulous fascinator!).

But I digress.....in honor of my trip to Europe, this week I thought it would be fitting to talk about the fashions in the countries I am going to.  So as such I will begin with the fashions in one of the world's most relevant fashion capitals....Paris!

The Parisians are known for their style, chic and elegance, and I never fail to be in awe every time I go there at how well-turned out the Parisians are.  Just walking down the street you will not see a badly dressed Parisian, either female or male.  They look effortlessly chic, and I love sitting in a cafe sipping a cafe au lait just people-watching.  It is one of my favorite things to do while I am there.

So with that said, here are some of the trends that were recently seen at Paris Fashion Week....enjoy!
