All Lanvin all the time: My fantasy summer as a European lady

I'm not sure if I'm the only person who does this, but I have these fantasies of taking a mini-sabbatical one summer from my job, my boyfriend, and even [gasp!] my cats and moving to some European city where I know no one. In this fantasy, I have nothing to do except, maybe, maybe work on the big cliché writing project in the mornings (on an old typewriter, of course) in some fabulous, light-filled flat and in the afternoons wander the streets of said city in the chicest outfits of all time.

Of course, knowing myself and my need for constant human connection and propensity toward massive separation anxiety, this trip would last about a week. But this is a fantasy, after all, and if it were to ever happen even for one day, I'd wear an outfit composed entirely of pieces by Parisian designer Lanvin. Today, on eBay, this is what I'd pick: an over-the-top frilly dress, classic flats, a cute bag, a pin and these shades.
