Cosmos&Lipstick: traveling

How the hell am I going to carry all this?

Well I’m just done packing all of my stuff for tomorrow. I just can’t wait to be back in

Paris!!!

I posted a picture of my suitcase on Twitter & people started going crazy, because it looked like I packed my stuff as if I was moving to another country.

T o be honest, that suitcase is on of the smallest ones we have at home!

(so imagine how BIG my suitcase would actually look like if I did decide to move ! lol!)

I had to run down town to buy some last min. stuff to add to my suitcase.

I know I’m only going for 3 days, but let’s not forget people…

I’m a BLACK GIRL!

Meaning I carry a lil’ more stuff than your average girl next door:

10 different types of hair/weave lotions, scarves to wrap around my hair at night,

body lotion, night/ day cream, nail polish kit, combs & brushes, make up, hair straightener,

hairdryer, heels, flats, slippers for in the shower, bathrobe, bags, eyelashes...

And the list go’s on & on.

So you see people….my suitcase isn’t that big, considering the fact that

I’m only bringing 6 outfits (3 during the day time & 3 during the evenings).

And of course I need to make sure that my weave looks on point! We all know that the French notice every thing. So I can’t afford to slip up while strolling down the “Champs Elysees”, Chanel, Christian Louboutin and not to forget “Galeri La Fayette!

Anyways, back to my story…. So I worked on my French Fashion this morning to get me in the mood for tomorrow….and I felt like such a Parisian Fashionista. I was rocking my mother’s vintage Chanel tweed blazer with an oversized black belt, a beret & some pearls to finish the look.

I ran into one of my friends, telling me to look out once I get there, because I already looked like a ran Paris!

Well I have a few lil’ things to add to my bag & I’ll be off to bed for my beauty sleep.

We’ll keep in touch!
