Tips and Tricks to Prepare for your Paris Family Vacation

fashion and beauty

January 24, 2022

Less than two months to go before our little family takes our the city of love in celebration of our baby’s 10th birthday and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t absolutely dreaming of everything french + parisian. This Paris family vacation has been an adventure more than a year in the making and I am crossing my fingers this comes to fruition for our dear, sweet Caroline Cate, as she has talked about this moment for years and we are working hard to make it happen.

Everyone loves Emily in Paris and though the show is a winner, it’s the fashion that gets me to tune in time after time. Super sophisticated, feminine and chic with a bit of edge thrown in for good measure = I’d die to have that wardrobe to wear everyday! Pardon my French because I know it won’t be perfect, but I’ll be trying my best to dress the part so I thought I’d start the inspiration early!
