And though Paris is the shopping capitol of the world, I miss certain stores/internet shopping. In particular, JCrew, Banana Republic, Century 21,but especially the ultimate, Bluefly. I just discovered a service that allows you to order online, ship it to the service, which in turn will ship it to you. I forget the name but look for it on Bluefly.com. I think India Knight also mentions one in here article. I have yet to try these services, but seriously thinking about it.It is much better then getting friends and family to send stuff. I have done that and it never works out quite right. Good luck!newyorkcitytoparishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08474444111247426332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4694489102230407970.post-36756956667356647852008-11-05T00:50:00.000+00:002008-11-05T00:50:00.000+00:00WHAT!!
