$32 glass of Champagne!

I spent the holidays this year in London, Paris and Brussels. I love traveling between Christmas and New Years. Everything is so beautifully decorated, everyone's in a great mood, the world feels magical. Lights, trees, ice skating under the stars. Being from socal it's fun to be somewhere a bit colder, fun to dress in sweaters, coats, gloves!




One fabulous discovery I made this year is that there are amazing post xmas sales abroad as in the states. I spent gobs of money on gorgeous clothes and accessories in Paris and London! 50% off Mui Mui, Alexander McQueen, Claudie Pierlot!



After all the hard shopping we stopped by the Harrod's Veuve Clicquot bar. It was a posh little space that was super inviting. Two glasses of rose champagne cost a whopping $64 dollars. It doesn't help that the exchange rate from pounds to dollars is frighteningly weak.


Now I'm back and saving my pennies, so I can afford the next adventure - Vietnam in February!
