Major Stack-age (hashtag NEW RULES)

It has to have been at least a year ago when stacking rings became the fad. Unlike many things, I hope that this one is here to stay. I have been wanting midi rings for months and months, but everyone was charging more than I was willing to pay. The way I look at it is, if I don't even wear jewelry aside from earrings, why on earth would I sell a finger to get a ring. Of course solid gold, luxurious diamond rings sound great, but when they're going to sit on my night stand only to collect dust and tarnish, eh I'll pass. After saying all of this, you must understand my excitement when I was shopping in H&M for some last minute pieces to take with me to Paris, and I see a pack of these rings for about 8 bucks.

Paris, Day 3

As I sip my wine and write this...

          Unfortunately, I'm not in one of the many cute cafe's in Paris. I really just had to look through the pictures to remember this day, and it's crazy, this had to be one of the most eventful days of my entire stay. I'm seriously questioning how we packed so much into just a few hours, because I'm sure I slept in that day. Anyway, let me see here to start. Oh wait, it's all coming back to me. So we left the hotel this Monday afternoon planning to see Versailles. Once we got to the train station, we were alerted that the palace was closed on Mondays, so if you plan to visit one of the most beautiful palace's on earth, don't go on a Monday. Got it? Cool. Monday then became the perfect day to head the opposite way to the Louvre. After getting our wires crossed and missing a stop (? we still don't know for sure) we hopped off the train and walked back towards the Louvre...only to stumble on one of the most breathtaking sites we had planned to visit anyways...

Paris, Day 2 - Tradeshow Fever Pt. 1

       

   Hmmmm, where to start, where to start? Well, how about here...

I knew well before I actually made it to Paris that playtime would involve a little "werk". It was Paris Fashion Week for christ's sake. Even though all fashion/tradeshows during that time were for menswear, I couldn't resist schmoozing with designers and attending previews of Autumn Wear 2014 all in the name of TheMoniqueMichelle.com. Uh, hello, you're welcome? Enjoy the following slideshow of pretty much everything *smize* You are about to enter...TRANOI HOMME

JUST KIDDING: Head over to my site to check it out! TheMoniqueMichelle.com :)

Paris, Day 1

EXCERPT...

          Has it been forever? Nope, just almost a week. So...SURPRISE! I went to Paris *wide grin* and although I could have found time to blog, I chose not to. It didn't cost much to simply pay for an international phone plan to be able to stay connected, but I chose not to. It would have been nothing to take 3000 photos of every single thing, but, yep, you guessed it, I CHOSE NOT TO. Although I got several hundred (lol) it turned out to be way more than I wanted and even more than I needed. What I chose to do was enjoy the moment...each and every one. Yeah you'll still see everything through a camera lens, but I wanted to see it head on. I wanted to be in awe of something. I wanted my mental photos more than digital ones. I got them ;) So let's hop right into it...
