Travel guides: Destination Paris

Trips to Paris by troprouge

Okay I should call this Travel Tuesdays and I shall, but it's a sunday and I'm bored at home so yes I'm sitting on my bed making mood boards cause I'm a girl and thats what girls do, we read magazines and talk about boys and what to wear.
I've been getting a lot of questions on my Tumblr  on what to wear when traveling to Paris. First of all I'm so honored you'd even want my opinion :) So thank you. You've made my morning less boring.

We all want to travel light don't we? It's hard yes and sometimes it takes a while to master this I'm guessing travel expertise? Lets say we are leaving for a week, shall we? 

travel light by troprouge featuring cropped pant

Whats always worked for me has been packing only two pairs of pants and several different tops options.

Above I've featured a black crop pant with 3 different tops both great for day and night! That's 3 days for ya, so boom! 

French culture is classic/feminine. It's simple yet pretty. Don't try to over think what you're going to wear, after all you're on vacation so relax.

 1) Rebecca Taylor floral top
2)  Stripped top

3) Chambray button down

4) heeled flat from Banana Republic 

5) regular flat

1 dress 3 ways by troprouge featuring a floral dress

The reason I picked a floral dress is the simple fact that a plan navy dress would of been so obvious. It's   fun to have fun in what you're wearing. Be confident if you don't feel good in it...then don't wear it. I wear the weirdest things according to some friends but I feel comfy so I look confident and thats the trick...I think / I hope haha.
I hope this helped or inspired you all in some way or another! Happy travels!

1) Floral day dress
2) Karen Walker sunnies
3) The perfect walking wedge

I hate going thru customs almost as much as I hate packing and forgetting that one super important items. To respond to some Tumblr questions, I made a little Polyvore set on what I usually wear/bring when traveling...

1- Super easy throw everything in Twelfth St by Cynthia Vincent bag. 

2- Silk eye mask for when the lights are too bright. This one's from Biba, although I have a huge collection I've used from different airlines.

3- Sorry but this is hands down the perfect hat for any and every occasion (Rag & Bone)

4- Soft turtle neck from Romwe

5- Whats worse than customs?...oh yeah Chapped lips. Don't let it happen to you, it sucks.

6- I have a tendency to sweat like a maniac so Prada Infusion D'iris is a good cover up without choking your friend in 23F

7- I always wear a scarf this one's from J Crew

8- We all have that token favorite jean. I recently spotted these and have fallen in love...soon to be min, (Paige Denim)

9- My wallets are usually annoying colors since I'm always losing stuff. (Comme des Garcons)

10- I wear these doc's all the time..so easy to take on and off.

11- Cute mid knuckle ring

Ever see a bug hypnotized by the glow of the bug zapper..and then well..poof (more like zap)..Thats how I feel right now minus the me being a bug part. I can't look away. I've always been secretly drawn to what reminds me of save by the bell prints and bungee jumping outfits. I know everyone has been calling it that and I'm just one in a million to have picked up on the term, but it's TRUE they really look like that. It's a rad jumpsuit regardless. I'm more attracted to the black and white striped shirt blouse, it has a sort of dolman sleeve effect that i'm particularly into. Anything that make me look more and more like a bat is perfect since almost all my long sleeve shirts have a sweet bat length to them.

Oh and hearing my friends La Femme play was another highlight on the already perfect collection....
