“Nothing is more difficult, and therefore more precious, than to be able to decide.” – Napoleon Bonaparte

I love all things French, and tend to gravitate towards accessories with motifs representing my favourite place in Europe. My handbag was purchased on our honeymoon to Paris at the famous Gallery Lafayette. I remember the handbag department to be the most chaotic scene, with some women literally throwing purses and buying them like they were candy. It is known the handbag are less expensive in Europe because of exchange rate and you receive the VAT (taxes) back, so I’m assuming these women were desperate to get their deals. I liked this particular bag because it would forever remind me of our honeymoon. I enjoy purchasing clothing and accessory items not just for their style, but for the memories and sentimental value they will hold.

My husband is aware of my love of not just France, but history as well, and gifted me this Napoleon scarf for Christmas. I paired it with a fitted pencil dress that makes me feel confident due to the dedication I have put forth in my fitness routine. I felt that this was the perfect outfit for a beautiful day taking in the art and culture of the Detroit Institute of Arts. We are so fortunate to be in close proximity to such a wonderful museum, and I highly recommend a visit if you’re in the Detroit area.
