Basically have not stopped shopping since I've been in Paris but have not purchased much as yet. Got a cropped chunky knit sweater from H&M and a sweet pair of corduroy jodphur trousers from Zara. Tried on a gorgeous leather jacket from Mango but they did not have my size. I'm going to go to all the Mango stores in paris to see if I can track one down that fits. Saw the sickest, softest, cotton motorcycle jacket from BCBG Max Azria, am contemplating splurging on it.
I also have a (sort of) funny story. My Yves Saint Laurent Besace bag used to set off the security checks in every store, both in Australia and here in Paris. I was stopped by the security guard in Printemps and I explained to him that I suspected that there was something inside the bag which was doing it. He very nicely took me to some luxury bag SA's nearby who helped me to try to figure out the problem. As they were looking for the culprit, they were giving my bag a good ol' feel up and exclaiming in French at the quality of it. All the while I am looking on, feeling a mixture of amusement and embarassment that there was a half eaten Twix bar inside my bag. They eventually found the little tag and thanked me at the end, assumedly for me letting them feel my bag? Whatever, I'm just glad they were nice to me.
