Your dress is a delight, and I can only agree with you regarding Sacre Coeur, which will always be special to me because in "our" apartment (seven floors up) in Montmartre, it filled the window each night and made me feel that I was in a grown-up's fairy tale.Marshahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14035642478179187618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-48793032443004457212012-07-24T10:23:31.528-07:002012-07-24T10:23:31.528-07:00You look perfectly attired and not a whiff of a &q...You look perfectly attired and not a whiff of a "tourist" in sight!<br />The architecture is charming and I love the "light" it really seems to permeate those images.hostess of the humble bungalowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06453827257671312902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-45128499143643795742012-07-24T09:45:10.990-07:002012-07-24T09:45:10.990-07:00The dress looks comfy and lovely - a great combina...The dress looks comfy and lovely - a great combination.

The dress is a style I like too - reminds me of the Papillon line over here - love them for winter with leggings and boots.<br />I'm working in the Fraser Valley this week, where it is cold and rainy. I brought all the wrong clothes, and have been shivering. If there is any time today I'll be buying something warm!Pondsidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02407539138546412482noreply@blogger.com
