Packing for Paris
February 28, 2013 in Fashion
Well this is it.
My final post for Shop Me Chic before I become a married woman (tomorrow!) and fly away on my European honeymoon (next Monday!).
As you may have read last week, my very-soon-to-be-husband and I are heading to Paris, Italy and Dubai on a four week honeymoon which I am totally beyond excited about. I can’t wait to wander the streets of Paris, eat my way through Italy and take in the exotic wonders of Dubai.
While we’re enjoying the last days of Summer here in Australia, Europe is coming out of a very cold Winter. So for me, this means putting away my little sun dresses and pulling out my cooler weather clothes.
“Too soon! Too soon!” she cried.
Between renovating and extending our home and planning our wedding, I didn’t have time to start adding to my Winter wardrobe. So of course I had a mild panic attack when I realised I was missing some cooler weather essentials, but then my Shop Me Chic research skills quickly kicked in and I made some purchases.
Here’s what I’ll be packing for Paris. And Italy. And Dubai (it’s only going to be 22 degrees there!)…
1. ASOS Animal Print Tunic ($49.94) // 2. Therapy ‘Tribeca’ Leopard Loafer ($39.95) // 3. ASOS ‘Casper’ Knee High Boots ($74.90) // 4. Witchery Pull On Ponte Pant ($79.95) // 5. Siren ‘Hellier’ Wedge Sneaker (on sale $59.95)
The time has come for me to bid you all au revoir, arrivederci and bye for now. I’ll see you all back here in the second week of April. Promise me you’ll take good care of Melinda, OK?
Do you have any pearls of wisdom about marriage you can share with me?
Stay Chic,
Sonia xx

Oh honey, *wipes little happy tear away* I’m so happy for you two!
Today is our 10month wedding anniversary, and we were both talking about the big day last night. Both B and I remember it as a day that, no matter all the lead-up and grand plans for our guests, well… it was all about us.
Leaving the ceremony to go take photos was one of the best moments of both our lives. We couldn’t stop giggling and staring into each other’s eyes and kissing, and our wonderful photographers even had to ask us to stop kissing for a little while!
Make sure you don’t get caught up in all the ‘other stuff’, and remember that at the end of the day, as long as you end up husband and wife, nothing else really matters.
Oh, and bridal beauty tip 101: don’t wear much blush or bronzer, you won’t need it because you’ll be blushing like a schoolgirl at a Robbie Williams concert!
Big big love to you both from us both.
And yes, of course I’ll keep an eye on Melinda for you. She seems like trouble, that one!

Hahaha, thank you Katy. I definitely need someone to keep an eye on me while Sonia is gone, she knows how to keep me out of trouble

So vicariously excited for you! Have an amazing wedding, and time away with your very soon to be husband! I *totally* want those shoes! I go for comfort, but they are chic too!
I wish you all the best for your wedding day and honeymoon adventures Sonia!
Lots of love,
Steph
