When in Paris: What's in My Bag & OOTD

Paris, a foreign city that speaks the language I don't understand, being a tourist in Paris in my experience was quite relax and easy IF you're prepared. It was my first time in France and no, I did not take an express French class before I say Bonjour to them. It is always nice to pick up a book or download some podcast to learn about a phrase or two (enough to communicate with them and politely ask if they speak English).

Anyway, to travel around the city that has announcements in their galleries and museums to remind you to be-careful of pick pockets, I have been carrying the Mango white cross body bag. (This bag is no longer available on Mango site)

It's nice and simple, goes with every outfit I was wearing and all my stuff fit in that little bag (sometime it's too jam packed!). Here's a picture of me carrying it near the Arc de Triomphe.

Outfit of this picture:
Top: Portmans
Inner Top: Ally Fashion
Jeans: Massimo Dutti 
Belt: Mango
Bag: Mango
Necklace: Lovisa
Bracelet: Pandora

So, in my bag, there were my small Guess wallet, my Samsung Galaxy s4, Paris map, a French phrasebook, a pack of tissue, Caudalie lip moisturizer as mentioned here, a compact mirror and lipstick of the day (click here for the post about them). When the weather was wet and colder, I packed my wool gloves from Forever New with me and I have a camera bag to carry my camera with me separately. I know how annoying it is to have 2 separate bags because my camera could not fit in my small bag but it worked out fine. Sadly, this white cross body bag's zip came off half way due to the rough times it had and I had to say goodbye to it soon. On the other side, I get to use my other bags that have been sitting in my wardrobe (some untouched with tag). That's it for today, till next time!

Love, Carol
