J'adore Paris...


Me and my amazing boyfriend infront of the Eiffel Tower <3


Got to squish monuments! Eiffel Tower :)


Arghhhh, Laduree, was so excited for this!!


Yummy Macaroons from Laduree, I picked up Red Rose, Vanilla, Pistashio (my favourite) and Lemon.


The louvre...


Arc De Triumph, at the top of the Champes Ellysse.


Eiffel Tower by night, so beautiful!


The beautiful Sacre Couer (the sacred heart) <3


Lovely Macaroons... :P


Top of the Eiffel Tower!!!


Setting up for Paris Fashion Week, would LOVE to have seen the show!


More Macaroons for a gift for my sister... she enjoyed them!

Hey Everyone!
I got back from Paris with my Boyfriend yesturday! I had the most amazing time, we went for 4 days and got to see most of the things we wanted too! 
The first day was a glorious day, almost 24 degrees so that was a bonus! Firstly, we visited the Eiffel Tower for some quick snaps, walked around and saw the Louvre, Champs Ellysse, the Arc De Triumph, we saw all the very posh shops like Chanel, Dior, Hermes, did no shopping there obviously, saw the Ritz Hotel, and I got to wander about in Sephora!!! <3 That night we went on a Paris by Night Tour where we saw the Eiffel Tower and the other main monuments all lit up, was SO pretty! 
The nest day the weather was not so good, quite windy and it did rain for a little while! We went up to the Sacre Coeur Christian Church, and the veiws were amazing! We then took a walk down to the artist square where all the artist where selling their paintings and drawing anyone that wanted a portrait. Stopped for an AMAZING hot chocolate! Then made out way to the top of the Eiffel Tower, again the veiws where amazing!!

All in all, I LOVED my time in Paris...

Hope you enjoy this blog post, you should definalty visit Paris... it is an amazing city to look at, but take lots of money coz damn is it expensive!

J'adore Paris...




Bonjour!
Like I said before... I do occasionally like to post a little update of my life on my blog too, not to just have it as a beauty lovers read, but also for you followers to get to know me a little bit...
So, as you know from my older post, where I mentioned a little bit about me and my life so far and where my future is heading, you will know that I have a boyfriend who I have been with for almost two years now. I love him very much, and we are very happy!
Anyway... because our two year anniversary is coming up, we thought we would do something a little special this year, not only have we been together for that long but my boyfriend is also finishing his three year degree in university, so it’s a little break for us to share some time together...

Where are we going? We are going to PARIS!!! (Yaaay!) I love Paris so much, and we have both been there once before, Scott with his family and I went as a college trip. So this time we feel like we can do our own thing, rather than go by a schedule. I am so excited and I can’t wait to take pictures, and MAYBE vlog a little and post it on my youtube channel (which I haven’t posted anything on yet!)

I have a little list of the places I’m dying to go as I’ve heard amazing things about them and I didn’t have the chance to visit them the last time. I will defiantly be taking a trip to Laduree (Click the link for this website, as it is the most adorable website ever!) the ultimately famous brassiere! I will be stuffing my face with Macaroons, and bringing some home as gifts, I hear they taste amazing! I also want to visit the Cafe De Flore, I hear that’s very expensive but the hot chocolate there is supposed to be THE BEST! Also, as part of the package we will be taking the usual tour around all the main attractions, like the Eiffel Tower, The Louvre, Arc De Triumph, Champs Elysees and Notre Dame. I did get to go in the Louvre last time, as I was studying Art in college and I am still interested in art now. I also went right to the top of the Eiffel Tower, which was a little scary but the views were breath taking, I will be doing that again hopefully! We will also be doing a Paris by night tour, which will take us all through Paris to enjoy the attractions all lit up! How romantic?

We will be staying in the Hotel Mercure Paris La Defense 5, it does look very nice, and it is roughly 20 minutes drive from the attractions.

I hope you have enjoyed this post, and I hope it has given you a little help on where to visit if you are going to Paris anytime in the future, it’s such a beautiful place to go and I can not wait!

xoxo
