WHAT I BOUGHT IN EUROPE
Ahh shopping.
Is there anything cooler than finding stuff you’d never find in your own home country, let alone continent? 
Okay perhaps saving money is a better option but .. these are wearable souvenirs, folks! I’ll actually use them
P.S. I remembered it. The store is “Trucco”
And that’s all I bought in Europe, other than gifts.
I went pretty easy on the shopping I’d say. I still have 350 EUR left for my upcoming travels.
GOING TO PARIS & LONDON
BF and I are throwing around the idea of going to Paris and London later on this year before moving to Texas.
After we get to Texas, I already know what I want to go to New York, Las Vegas and San Francisco, so that’s a must
I really want to see these places in another season, and I want to have a better experience of Paris this time around and to LOVE the city.
Okay, maybe just like it.
I want to see a less tourist-y side of these cities and not have to worry about more oak leaf mites to cover my face in red chickenpox bites while walking down the streets of Paris.

P.S. I still really really want this trench coat.
Anyone up for finding me a cheaper substitute of good quality? I want to have a cashmere/wool blend, but maybe there’s a brand/style out there that is less than $1600.
Or maybe I’m just dreaming. *sigh*
Just a girl trying to find a balance between being a Shopaholic and a Saver.
