The Conductress' Jacket

Yesterday, there was a post entitled: Lodekka.  Lodekka is a local vintage wear dress shop (ok, with some men's wear too) in NE Portland, Oregon.  A great find was this wonderful vintage red wool blazer made by Pendleton and the leather pouch. 

Today, an idea came to mind on how to wear the blazer and hence the look above.  The jacket is just so fitting to be a conductress on the cool Lodekka double decker bus. 

Be sure to visit her shop!  I guarantee you will see something there.  Whether it be an old photograph, a handbag, belt, or dress.  There are all sorts of treasures that you will find at Lodekka.

La Tour Eiffel

Viewing the Eiffel Tower is a must when visiting Paris.

Constructed by Gustave Eiffel as an entry arch to the 1889 World's Fair, Gustave designed, built, and used his own money and resources to built this great monument.  He even stayed under the budget given to him!

When visiting, get there early.  Best thing to do is buy timed tickets ahead of time, on their official website: http://www.tour-eiffel.fr/.  When you are ready to go, get there at least 30 minutes before.  A view from the summit is a must but the best time to go is at dusk, before the sun sets.  However, ride up when it is dark to view Paris at night, in the illuminations of the lighted tower.
