I savored a palatable picnic in the Versailles Castle Gardens with some dear folks. The occasion was prefect for zestful retro looks. I pulled out this lovely lace trimmed top, added in a pair of acid washed jeans shorts, toppled the deal off with a swank little ruffled leather belt. I felt zestful, yet comfy and ready to visit the castle… after my giant raspberry jelly-filled cookie, of course. Oh and Starbucks. I’ve found one of the coveted coffee shops in Versailles – these puppies are still quite hard to come across on this side of the Atlantic.

Hi there! I have been reading your blog for almost a year, since you started the fashion blog, but have just been lurking in that time. I also know Leesa up there! *waves at Leesa* I finally decided to comment because of a few reasons: Leesa has told me what a kind and sweet person you are and I could not continue to be silent knowing you are so nice
, I really love that outfit you are wearing in this post, and I also was so happy to see lovely photos of Versailles, which is one of my most favorite/most interesting places to visit in Paris so far in the couple of years I have lived here. I learned a lot from visiting there!
A special post all the way around.
Hope you are staying cool in the hot weather, Susa!

I’ve been meaning to go there again this summer. Adore their gardens! And I’m a Starbucks addict, but I’ve found they’re quite frequent in Paris, no? There are two just 10 minutes from where I live…

Such a pretty view, I wish I could go there someday! And you look gorgeous – love your blouse
July 13, 2010 at 4:10 PM -
Oh Susa this may be one of my favorite looks of yours yet. I absolutely adore your top; and the bohemian inspiration of your entire ensemble. Beautiful!!

Isn’t Versailles amazing? I treasure my pictures that I took there. Your outfit and hair are just perfect for such an adventure! You have the best toned legs, do you do ballet or pillates?

Those shorts are cute! I love the hall of Mirrors inside Versailles. It´s my favorite part, too bad I wasn´t able to visit the palace gardens while I was there the last time because it was pouring hard. You look lovely as ever!
July 14, 2010 at 9:06 PM -
I can’t even begin to imagine how fabulous it is to be able to go to the beautiful places you can visit every day!
