Women in London and Paris wear this label though I have never seen it in the states --- I have one of their coats that has a lightweight rain coat, with a rabbit fur lining. The coat is not only reversible but the pieces separate --- so I can have a fur coat and lightweight rain coat, or a very warm rain coat (with hood in collar-- handy for the days one forgets an umbrella). The best single investment I have made (have had the coat for 3 years.....)

Eating out at lunch is always the best way to go to places that might otherwise be out of budget. As for packing for Paris, always take a map and an umbrella, but there's some more detailed advice here http://tinyurl.com/yf7p3ma Great selection: I’d add La Cantine de Quentin just of Canal Saint Martin, and Chateaubriand in the same area.

I have been going there for many years and the food is always delicious. In fact, I had a better gazpacho at Cafe Constant than I ended up having in Spain! My friend and I are excited about our upcoming stay in the HIP Monceau apartment (April). We have questions for you about what to wear since it is early spring yet will most likely be cold. I've never gone this time of year and have no idea what to pack! Thanks, kathy P.S. My friend is a cashmere designer and we're hoping to wear some of her line during the trip... what do you think? Tory,
