As the Euro continues to slide against the US dollar (as of April 27th, the currency exchange rate is $1.00 = €0.92), a little self-indulging shopping trip in Paris is definitely not out of the question. In case any of you are planning such a lucky getaway--after all, it's a gorgeous time to visit the City of Lights--I thought you might want to do a little price research beforehand. So, to help guide your way through some calculations, I created a list of French luxury brands and their current handbag prices as an easy comparison between the two countries. Keep in mind, non-European residents are entitled to a TVA refund which, in France's case, is roughly 10%. The below prices are post-refund. As for US pricing, NYS sales tax (8.875%) was added. As you can clearly see, there is currently a big discrepancy in pricing between the two cities.
Birds are chirping, flowers are blooming, and other signs of spring are popping up. I know it's a big sartorial cliché but, every year when the spring season rolls in, I can't help but go back to the same breton top, trench coat, espadrilles, and other classic spring staples. I guess you can never beat a classic. So, in the spirit of welcoming in this beautiful spring, I gathered together five wardrobe classics to suit every budget. I hope you find it helpful in your search for your own timeless everyday outfit.
Buying lingerie for Valentine's Day may be one of the biggest clichés but wearing something alluring does make a woman feel sexier. And just like shoes, different types of lingerie create different moods. So the real question here is, do you want something naughty or nice?
