Leather Jacket and Khaki Pants: Zara

Bracelet, Black Loafers and Leopard Bra found in small local boutiques

Espadrilles and Woven Hat found in the local supermarket

All purchased in Nancy, France

I have worn leather jackets a lot trough the years, that is fake leather jackets as I have never owned a real one until recently when I invested in this perfect one from Zara.  I had my eye on this jacket for a long time but could not find it in any of the many Zara stores in Shanghai although they had it on sale in the Chinese online Zara shop.  Of course I tried to buy it online but they didn´t want to accept any of the credit cards in the household be it Chinese, Icelandic, French or a Norwegian one. That just made me more desperate to get it. So the first thing I did when arriving in France in July was to go to the next Zara store and see if they had it. And to my utter and complete happiness there it was only one jacket left in my miniature size waiting just for me and it was love at first try. Beautiful story don't you think. I also made another person very happy with this purchase ( another person besides Mr P as I finally shut up about having to get this jacket) I gave my dear sister in law my old overused one and I didn´t she her wearing anything else after that.

The items pictured above were the total shopping damage done while visiting Jacques and Christiane my lovely French in laws during the summer holidays. It´s always a pleasure visiting them because we spend our time eating and browsing shops and having Un café or even better un verre de vin rose in between. All French in this post was brought to you by goggle translate.
