Friday Fancies: Let's Fly Away

Happy Friday! Was this week long or what? From Bennett's first ear infection to helping Cullen overcome his paci withdrawal and looking forward to our good friends coming in from the East Coast today, I thought Friday would never get here. Luckily, Bennett is on the ups, Cullen's naptimes are getting easier and Chris and Katie will finally be here this afternoon!
{av}'s link up for Friday Fancies was to Fly Away and I have to admit, I had a lot of fun with this one. I have dreamed of going to Paris ever since my first French class in high school. I also wanted to study abroad in college but just couldn't make it happen, even though I did minor in the language. Then for Christmas in 2010, Kev and I had grand plans on hopping on a military Space-A flight to Germany and spending a few days in France, but as we were boarding the plane, we were bumped and ended up at a resort in Pennsylvania. So as it is, I have never made it to France. Naturally, it had to be the place to inspired my Friday Fancies outfit.

Love this :) I'm a little obsessed with France too. I have always wanted to learn the language & I turn on French movies often to just have as background sound LOL We actually lived in Germany for 3 years & the farthest I made it into France was Strausburg. lol

I hope you get to Paris soon! Loving the glasses and red flower :) I think I'd like to stay in the French countryside. My husband's dream is to be stationed in Germany, but I don't know if I could do that for 3 years!

Absolutely love the high waisted trousers and the pop of color the flower brings to the outfit. Very Parisian chic!

That is absolutely no fair! I hope one of these days you make it to Paris, life is long. We really have no plans other than cleaning the house and going to Costco later, but I love lazy weekends. Something fun always comes up.

That's a perfectly Parisian outfit for sure! I love the pants & handbag especially. We're off to Birmingham for the long weekend to visit my inlaws & catch the Bama hoops game (hubby's Vday present). Hope y'all have a terrific time with friends. And I'm so glad to hear Bennett's ear infection has cleared up!
