France

this is a repeat from my other blog. But so will the posts mentioned.

I’m in France. Right now. LAWL. If there are any ridiculous typos forgive me, its these damn keyboards that are all different. How dare they. I wonder what makes the differencesyou know? Like, why azertyuiop instead of qwertyuiop?

So there isnt much to say because if I was going to say anything it would take for EVER. When I get back I will post several posts sort of accounting a little bit of the trip. I write in my journal what I do every day but that would be too much so I will summarize. But you will all have to wait for that. All I will tell you is I am eating lots of good food and seeing lots of interesting people and exploring the City of Tours as much as I can. Oh, and I am proud to announce that after not having ridden a bike for 2 or 3 years, I hopped onto one on Friday and rode a total of about 16 miles. And my legs don’t ache.

Soo that be about it. For now. I am here for a few more weeks. We are going to Normandy next weekend and then the weekend after that we leave Tours for Paris for 5 days and then home we go. I am blogging tonight because for some reason I am suddenly homesick. I havent been homesick the entire trip, I am again proud to announce, but tonight is different. Maybe because dinner was less formal and more like how our meals are back home.

Anyway. Love to you all.

Bisous,

Sarah

Period Fashion

I dunno if I have quite made myself clear on my adoration of the history of fashion yet. In case I wasn’t, I dug these up for you all to enjoy and drool over. It only goes up to the Edwardian period, but if I started in on 20th century fashion too, we would be here forever.
















Some of my favorite Period Fashion movies:
Marie Antoinette
Titanic
Pride and prejudice (both versions)
Pirates of the Caribbean 1
The Other Boleyn Girl
The Tudors (A TV show. But whatever.)
There are others, of course. But that’s all I can think of at 2:10 in the morning.

Oh and here are some gems I stumbled across.
