Go Red for Women!

Collection Amelie 

Tomorrow is 

National Wear Red Day ...

will you be a lady in red tomorrow?

I love this cause Go Red for Women 

for the fight against women's heart disease.

I've been racking my brain

what I can wear tomorrow to show my support.

Then, it dawned on me...

I have a "tres chic" accessory set 

that I picked up in Paris in 2003,

my Lancel Amelie purse and scarf set.  

Lancel
127 Avenue Des Champs-Elysees 
Paris

I fell in love with the Amelie Paris map print collection in a French magazine

one night at our hotel in Rue Cler.

The next morning,

I asked the nice desk clerk where I could find the collection.

So that morning,
before leaving Paris,
 we made a mad dash to the Champs Elysees

and the Lancel boutique.

At the  Lancel boutique

I couldn't speak French and the Lancel sales clerk didn't speak English.

Somehow we managed and I came home with the

limited-edition Amelie handbag and scarf...
and we made it to the airport on time!

I think tomorrow is a perfect day

to bring them out of my closet.

Red is Lancel's trademark color, afterall!

is a recent photograph from our May 2011 trip...
I just love the Brigitte Bardot billboard.)
