Paris
Paris is known as one of the Big Four fashion capitals of the world, and it's here Alana spends some time engaging in cultural textile appreciation. She's always preferred Diane von Furstenberg wrap dresses, so Alana rides the Metro Concorde to the Palais-Royal in order to pick out some outfits at the famous haute-couture vintage shop, Didier Ludot.
Next, she makes a pilgrimage to the original Chanel boutique at 31 rue Cambon. Legend has it that Chanel herself used to stand at the top of the luxurious staircase and watch customers being fitted in the dresses. Alana selects a few conservative pieces from the store, made of the softest cashmere.
Alana's last store of the day is the Parisian boutique, Hermès, found on rue Faubourg St. Honoré, just behind the American Embassy. Hermès is famous for its leather bridles and saddles, perfumes, and clothes that last a lifetime. Alana picks out a suit in winter white to follow the Fall 2013 fashion trends, but ignores the knit beanies.
After spending close to the edge of her budget, Alana spends a few days in Paris seeing the sights.
