I ♥ Paris

I know you had enough of Paris. So that's the last reference, I promise. :)

Autumn came suddenly and I wasn't prepared. The easiest solution is to get into your jeans. I bought these in sales for just 5 euros! To my surprise, this pair of jeans was a perfect fit, had a lovely colour and a slimming effect! Bingo! Lucky buy.

Jeans : Zara
Vest : Stradivarious
Top I(heart)Paris : touristic shop in Paris
Heels : Pull&Bear
Ring : OhLaLa

I'll leave you with the so-called food porn, from TGI Fridays last night. Boy, I'm hungry again...I think I'll go back tomorrow night for Potato Twisters, my new OBSESSION!

Mmmmmmmm... I love it!

PS : I forgot to mention, tonight is Fashion's Night Out in all the big capitals and I'm not in one of them... I'm jealous! Ah well, next time...

Laduree, Paris

Laduree was one of the things I was most excited for in Paris (food makes me happy!).
It's a must to visit to taste authentic french desserts and the highlight of the shop, macarons!
You might remember Carrie from Sex and the City in Paris eating desserts in a luxurious place.

These macarons taste like heaven. Crunchy outside, soft cream on the inside with the most amazing flavours. Eating each one was like a ritual.

Chocolate, Vanilla, Caramel, Pistacio, Lemon, Violet, Red Fruits, Rose Petals, Coconut

Ladurée Champs Elysées
75, avenue des Champs Elysées - 75008 Paris

65 days a year, from 7.30am to midnight, Ladurée serves breakfast, lunch, tea, dinner and late supper for approximately 3,000 clients daily.

On the first floor, the ‘Eiffel Veranda’ and the outdoor terrace overlook the glamorous Champs Elysées avenue.

The bar, very successful after 7pm, offers any time classic short and long drinks as well as wines and liquors. One can also sit at the bar for a quick lunch.

On the second floor, the five cozy dining rooms, decorated in the ‘Second Empire’ refined style by the French interior designer Jacques Garcia, were dedicated to the 19th century Parisian muses : “Paeva”, “Castiglione”, “Mathilde” but also la Bibliothèque (the Library) and La Chocolaterie (the Chocolate Factory).

The menu of the restaurant is inspired by French regional cooking, as well as other cooking of the world, and is continuously evolving with the seasons and its creations.

Normandy and 10+1 Things Paris Taught Me

Boats + Stripes + Pearl Earrings = tres navy

10+1 Things Paris Taught Me

1. Accent.
2. Pedestrians have the priority, not cars.
3. The rumours aren't true. French people are very polite and willing to speak english.As long as you are polite yourself of course.
4. Concrete can be pretty.
5. Brands like Chanel, Louis Vuitton etc start mean a lot when you see everyone carrying shopping bags from them.
6. Disneyland is definitely not just for kids.
7. Το πολύ το κυρ'ελέησον το βαριέται κι ο παπάς.Meaning...no more croissants please!
8. Parisian people are so thin because the food is expensive and the distances are long.
9. Eiffel Tower is not just a bunch of metal pieces.
10. If you go once, you definitely want to go again.

+1 You need 3 things in Paris : Umbrella, sunglasses and a trench coat

Disneyland, Paris

Welcome to Disneyland where you feel like a kid again, you live in all your favourite fairytales and you can't stop smiling!


One of the hotels, just at the entrance, looking like a palace, all pink and pretty!








All these costumes make me wish I was small and I could fit it.. Almost every little girl gets one there, the clothes are so realistic and so cute.


There were so many things I wanted to buy, these are some I couldn't resist in.




Even the junk food comes in cute disney bags.




I can't believe I'm posting this, but there you go! :) We spent 1,5 h waiting on the queue, so nothing better to do than goofing around, taking pics and eating candies.

• When you go you'd better start clockwise with the rides, otherwise you might get confused walking around doing nothing (*cough*). 7 hours in there and I didn't even get to go in half of the games.
  
• The queues are crazy so get the Fast-Pass ticket to get in faster than anyone else later at the day.
• Make sure you eat before 5 p.m cause after that you might find everything closed and end up starving till you get home!
• Don't try to take photos in the rides, just enjoy it!

"It's a Small World"

Sacré Coeur - Montmartre

The Basilique du Sacre Coeur takes your breath away! Pretty architecture, a magnificent building and the best view of the city, after the top of Eiffel Tower. Artists sit on the stairs in front of it, singing, encouraging the crowd to sing with them. Tourists, if they're brave enough, take the microphone and sing themselves.

You might recognise it from Amelie...





Dress : Dorothy Perkins
Platforms : Bershka
Clutch : Accessorize


Montmartre is just behind. We got our portraits painted by one of the hundrents artists, we had crepes and desserts, we wondered around the traditional streets.
I gave up after 30 min of walking around there to find the Cafe les Deux Moulins from Amelie. My poor feet could not take it anymore.. And I was SO close!
















You can find all kinds of "artists" there. The guy on the left was truly amazing, he wouldn't move or breathe for the longest time!


This must be my favourite pic from Paris..!


And cheesy pic, holding the Eiffel Tower ^_^



At night, we went for a river cruise in Seine. Being in the boat at night was magical. People were sitting at the riverbank, patrying, having dancing lessons (tango!) or just drinking wine.
