Mini Pour Deux

This clipping was sent to me by my Auntie right before we made our first trip together to Paris in 1980. Funny how things never change. We're still talking about sharing and swapping clothes on this trip!

I did one shopping expedition for Paris. A friend told me about Mili in Mill Valley, which is actually three neighboring boutiques. Matt and I drove there from San Francisco one Sunday afternoon a few weeks ago. I spent nearly four hours hopping between the Mili shops trying on a great mix of European and American-made clothes. Mili was super nice and had excellent suggestions. Matt kept himself entertained sitting in a comfy chair sketching and offering style crits when asked. I found a number of fabulous items that I think will be perfect for Paris (some of them came from Paris!). I've road-tested it all with success, style and comfort being the top criteria. One funny thing... everything is BLACK! But isn't that perfect for Paris? And San Francisco?
