I’m leaving Paris today, which means I’m going to cry at some point. I always cry when I leave Paris!<\/p>\n

One of the highlights of the trip was getting together with gorgeous blogger Susu of Susu Paris Chic<\/a>. We met on a busy street corner near City Hall<\/a> and I was worried that I would miss her in the crowd. MrB was with me and I told him to look for a stylish blonde. He kept pointing to different women and I kept saying, “Not blonde enough! Not stylish enough!” Once we found her, we strolled to a cafe where we discussed international relations, ballet and why we wouldn’t want to be celebrities.<\/p>\n

I love Susu’s outfit. This is what I wish I would wear during the day instead of my uniform of a black t-shirt and jeans<\/a>. Of course, I’m not wearing that combo<\/a> — for a change! — in this photo. I made an effort for Susu. I got this dress recently at Versace<\/a>.\u00a0 I walked by the 5th Avenue store in New York earlier this month and, with Versace on my mind thanks to my recently worn 2002\/2003 dress<\/a>, I popped in. A major sale was on; if not, I would never have tried on this cute lavender and black dress. I bought it to wear on a hot day instead of a black t-shirt and jeans. Mission accomplished.<\/p>\n

\"\"What Wendy Wore to Match the Flowers<\/strong>
\nDress:<\/strong> Versace (2011)<\/em>
\nShoes:<\/strong> Prada (2011)<\/a><\/em>
\nBag:<\/strong> Sonia Rykiel (purchased in Paris, 2009<\/a>)<\/em>
\nWatch:<\/strong> Hermes (I’m guessing 2000)<\/em>
\nIn hand:<\/strong> Prada sunglasses (2011)<\/em>
\nLip color:<\/strong> Girl About Town by MAC<\/em><\/p>\n

Last summer, when we were in Paris, I brought along the Herm\u00e8s watch that MrB gave me for our first anniversary<\/a> in order to have its battery replaced at the mothership store. But I forgot to bring the Herm\u00e8s watch I’m wearing in the photo above. It also needed a new battery. I proceeded to carry this watch around New York for a good part of the year, walking by the Herm\u00e8s store on 5th Avenue at least once a week and, each time, forgetting to go in and get the battery changed. When we were packing to come back to Paris, I grabbed the watch and finally got the battery changed at the same store I went to last summer. Another mission accomplished! MrB and I have been trying to figure out when I got this watch. I initially thought it was on our honeymoon, but upon reflection, I believe it was earlier — possibly 2000. I’m going to have to search for photographic evidence. In the meantime, here’s a closeup.<\/p>\n

I can tell time again!<\/p><\/div>\n

The wedges I’m wearing in these photos are the ones I picked out in a matter of minutes<\/a> last month because of a style crisis. That turned out to be a lucky purchase because I walked around the city in them all day in total comfort. Not a blister to be seen.<\/p>\n
