1/2 in Brussels | 1/2 in Paris...

Blazer: Nordstrom {last seen here} {similar style} | Top: J.Crew | Pants: J.Brand | Sandals: Cole Haan {the perfect tourist shoe} | Bag: Prada | Sunnies: Prada | Necklace: C. Wonder | Earrings: C. Wonder {my new everyday wear} | Lips: YSL Sheer Candy #9
We spent 1/2 of the day walking around Brussels, touring through chocolate factories and indulging in chocolate covered strawberries. We spent the other 1/2 of the day riding bikes around Paris, window shopping and wandering through the beautiful Notre Dame Cathedral. Somewhere between Brussels and Paris, my hair decided it didn't want to cooperate...hence the pony {cute I know}.

Thanks for reading :)

  1. Both Brussels and Paris are gorgeous, historic cities. Glad to hear you had such a great time. And man, you did NOT sport a tourist uniform at all. You're really looking dignified.
