Thank you for this! You know a post is good when you don’t want it to end. Paris in January (which I never would have considered in the past) is now on my travel list for 2026. Now if I can only get my daughter to come with me.
There is something about that first photo of you that is giving me very strong Joan Didion vibes.
The hotel looks incredible but I agree, I need light! Sometimes I think I wouldn't survive without my phone's flashlight.
I agree about boots elevating a look. I have one pair of Tretorn trainers that I wear in summer instead of flip flops but my "boot" for elevating my summer look is the espadrille.
Excellent report on Paris and I loved that you included your daughter and what you both liked as I too travel with my design conscious 21 yearly daughter. Do you have a shopping list or recommendations for shopping and staying in Milan?
How exciting about your Chanel jacket. I do love vicarious shopping. Also, second you on La Marine, it feels local and welcoming. The staff were very kind to us.
The couple with the straw bags — so great! And can’t wait to see you in that Chanel and carven 🤍
So good right?!
We would love to see the Chanel jacket
This will happen, promise!

Thanks Maria! The weather is not great, but still so much fun to be had!

Flattery will get you everywhere! Flattered with the comparison and regarding iPhone flashlights--had to use mine a lot this trip, lol.
Hotel Rue De Seine….. thank me later. Location is amazing, 6th arrodisement, walk to almost anywhere. Stayed there on repeat!
Thank you now too!
Epic
Thanks!

You know, Milan is on my list to visit, I haven't been in years. If and when I go, will share!
Can’t wait get back to Paris. Did you put your packing list? Could you? I live in sunny Arizona and find chic winter packing tricky. Thank you!
Hi Tanya...it's in this post (just not in list formation). https://jenniferalfano.substack.com/p/winter-repeats-clothes-scents-and?r=iv2hb
You definitely need layers....was cold!

I love vicarious shopping too and so glad you are a La Marine fan. They are so nice and yummy food.
