Paris is a city like no other. I made an effort to see the important sights and learn about its history.

I did the daily commute on the Métropolitain just like the locals.

But I also lived it up a little.

The food was ‘incroyable’.

And the shopping – mon dieu!

I took every chance I could to stop and smell the roses and just, you know, unwind.

We had a great time in Paris.

Featuring Hotel Le Bristol and resident cat Fa-raon and knitted “Cool Cat” coming out in Cool Knitting by Australian Women’s Weekly, August 2013.

The top: Must be light but also warm enough to stand up to that cold, recycled plane air. A pattern that helps distract from my inevitable food spills is a bonus. Pictured: Bonds Stretchies long-sleeved tee with navy and white stripes.

The bottoms: An elastic waste is essential – I give very little notice when I need to use the loo, so every second counts. I also like pockets to hold important things such as: crayons, food I don’t want to eat and mysteries I find on the plane floor. Pictured: Bonds Stretchies trackies in grey.

The shoes: Wear shoes that look like boring old shoes or wear shoes that look like cars. I choose the latter.Pictured: Converse kids.

The accessory: This novelty wooden watch gives the appearance that I can tell time. It’s awesome-o’clock – always. (I have no idea where this watch came from).

The read: A long flight is a great opportunity to catch up on some reading. I am currently into “Dinosaur Zoom” – it really brings to life both paleontology and the automotive industry in a rigorous debate.

The hydration: My cute, collapsible tiger water container makes drinking water even more necessary. Pictured: Foldable tiger water bottle.

The bag: The brighter the better – no mistaking what’s mine in the overhead compartment. Pictured: Fjallraven kids’ backpack in yellow.

The comfort: There is no thing in the entire world more comforting than my knitted toy sloth. He doubles as a pillow and my BFF.

And then, of course, we need the layers.

They had so much fun in the studio. The show will up as a podcast on Kit’s blog very soon so you can hear what they all had to say ;)

“Testing, testing, 1-2-3″

“Okay, so just tell us which buttons we *can* press…”

Mum had to supervise the gang

Kit asked sloth if he was up for dinner and dancing after the show
