Adios and Blog Invite Requests!!!

I forgot to include this last night, but this is the tissue box at the airport in Abu Dhabi. I just could not resist a photo. Plus, it is very fitting for my upcoming trip to Paris!

Tomorrow I am off to London and then Paris for the day on Thursday. Therefore I will yet again be MIA for a day, I am terribly sorry all you faithful readers! However, this is the last time for a few works that you will have to live without me so do not get too upset! I have a list of places I am hitting up tomorrow in London:

*Heywood Hill bookshop

*Smythson of Bond Street (Aspinal does not have a store as far as I know and SoB is having a sale!)

*Colefax and Fowler (to see the Nancy Lancaster Yellow Room)

*Kensington Palace to see the Last Debutant exhibit

*If I have time possibly Hummingbird Bakery (I adore cupcakes and thought it would be fun to pop in)

*The Connaught Hotel (I will enjoy not only a delightful room, but also a pick-me-up Coke and their signature chips after a day of strolling down Bond Street and around Mayfair.)

On Thursday morning I am up and at it before dawn as I have to catch my 5:25am train to Paris. I cannot wait to return to the city where I have bought more handbags then any lady needs and where I spent months studying Gothic art. As soon as I arrive I plan to stop and grab a cappuccino and pain au chocolate. Then, here is my day in brief:

*Metro from Gare du Nord to Palais Royal.

*Stop and get pashminas (they have the best colors, quality and prices in Paris).

*Possible stop at the Louvre to see my thesis painting and a few other Andachtsbilder.

*Catherine (my FAVORITE store in all of Paris. The three best handbags I have ever purchased have come from this hidden treasure on Rue du Castiglione. Wherever I go people stop and ask me where these bags came from; they are so amazing. I am crossing my fingers I will not leave Catherine empty handed!)

*Herve Chapelier

*Longchamp

*Laduree for tea and perhaps a quick sandwich. I am also going to pick up some of their amazing caramels for mother dearest, their caramel and vanilla teas and of course some macaroons!

*Maille for some mustard.

*Fauchon to pick up some chocolate and dinner for the train ride home.

*Pop into Hermes to look at the scraves.

*D Porthault

*If I have time I might run into Zara to check for this adorable, floral, Oscar de la Renta shift I saw in London (they did not have my size). I may also try and run over to Poilane, but am not sure I will have the time to get to the other side of the Seine.

I have a busy, but life changing two days ahead of me. I could not be any more excited and will be sure to take some fabulous photos. When I return I plan to post as well as update my Daily Reads list. Sorry I have not been too good at responding to comments, but work has kept me on my toes this past week! As promised, I will get back to you all by this weekend. Have a wonderful evening!
