Like I did! Can't go wrong with a good coat (which you can go with hand luggage - more space in the suitcase) & layers - you can always remove or add according to the weather! Definitely comfortable, waterproof boots/shoes & if you do have extra cash to spend go SHOPPING! I was there in 2006 with an 18mth old & can't wait to go back "without children"! Busy saving!

Bring a wool coat, or something with similar warmth - a trench will not cut it unless you pack lots of sweaters to layer. Either way could work.<br /><br />Bring scarves or hit up les puces for some cheap ones at 3 -4 euro (hit up les puces anyway if you get a chance, so lovely!). First few months after I got here I felt practically naked for not wearing a scarf...<br /><br />Also make sure you have at least one pair of boots or such that's waterproof - puddles plus cold equals misery. Paris usually isn't too terrible for this but it's good to be prepared.<br /><br />Besides that bring whatever's the best in your closet. If there's a lovely little floral LA dress that makes you feel amazing, bring it and layer a sweater+coat+tights with it. Anything that will make you feel well dressed!<br /><br />Besides, the lumberjack, layered look with lots of different textures is still chic right now - you wouldn't believe the hiking stores that have popped up in Paris!leilani.ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16652760618255792763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33547923613272710.post-91732844113302892902010-01-17T23:44:36.597-08:002010-01-17T23:44:36.597-08:00A great pair of skinny jeans should be a staple, y...A great pair of skinny jeans should be a staple, your best trench, lovely boots, nautical striped long sleeved skivys, hats, and accessoreis (scarves, sunnies, gloves) ohh a nice pair of coloured leather gloves, j'adore!..How exciting Tina!Destination Inspirationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12442349510684829707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33547923613272710.post-69403943375443692962010-01-17T20:01:10.495-08:002010-01-17T20:01:10.495-08:00hmm. i've been to paris & i still don'...hmm. i've been to paris & i still don't know what to recommend for you to pack. advice: do not, do not pack flipflops. you'll stick out like a soar thumb. everyone in paris dresses so fantastic that i felt so dull in my jeans. although, dark skinny jeans seemed to be quite popular. and leather jackets. and all dark colors. and lots and lots of layers. and sunshades. xxThe Owl Diaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16637560400894073177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33547923613272710.post-26464517693188612712010-01-17T18:58:09.035-08:002010-01-17T18:58:09.035-08:00the most comfortable shoes you own! i also found t...the most comfortable shoes you own! i also found that i started to dress up more then usual on a day to day basis...also, maybe look at french brands to see what people are wearing?! <br /><br />i hope you have lots and lots of fun in paris! when i lived there i found parts of myself i never knew. i hope you find the same!Alannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00637424412176715904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33547923613272710.post-47304805149590437682010-01-17T18:38:14.003-08:002010-01-17T18:38:14.003-08:00Scarves and comfortable shoes!!!Scarves and comfortable shoes!!!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17183777810310952955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33547923613272710.post-18140887991415022802010-01-17T18:06:46.973-08:002010-01-17T18:06:46.973-08:00i love the idea of silk thermals...i wonder where ...i love the idea of silk thermals...i wonder where i can find those in LA!English Musehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18143046698168051018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33547923613272710.post-67936547913789984402010-01-17T17:52:00.990-08:002010-01-17T17:52:00.990-08:00Not too much, more reason to shop, but I agree it ...Not too much, more reason to shop, but I agree it will be cold, so pack all of the fabulous layering pieces - scarves, hats, cardigans, and have a wonderful time!The Simply Luxurious Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06288681334499771945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33547923613272710.post-91819755777630038192010-01-17T15:44:14.656-08:002010-01-17T15:44:14.656-08:00I live in Ireland, and I'm just back from Madr...I live in Ireland, and I'm just back from Madrid, and I can say, in general, Europe at the moment is COLD!
