Parisian Vintage Goodies

As promised here are my bargain Paris goodies I found in my favourite vintage shop the Kilo Store (I wouldn't stop going on about this in one of my old posts) the best part about this store is that the price is based on the weight of the item. Think of all those cheap silk scarves!!!

So first up is this beautiful snakeskin blazer, it fits just perfectly and when team with all black looks Parisian chic! For a mere €5 there was no reason to put it back on the rails 

My other main goodie is this browny/beige fur gillet. A classic item from any vintage store, it's incredibly soft as well. This little gem was only €10!

Bonjour Paris

What better way to start my 2015 adventures than a girls weekend trip to Paris! I managed to find a really cheap 3 day deal for myself and one of my old uni flatmats so couldn't really turn it down.

Although we were only there for 3 days we managed to squeeze in so much sight seeing. From the Louvre to a walk up a Champs Élysées to see Arc de Triomphe, then a little trip over river to see Notre Dame and Eiffel Tower. Personally my favourite was seeing the light show at the Eiffel Tower at night it was absolutely beautiful! Another highlight,nwhich I'd definitely recommended for anyone, was the Moulin Rouge show. Unbelievable! So over the top and fabulous, I loved it! But then to finish it off what would any trip away to Paris be without a visit to the Padlock Bridge, so romantic and cute.

Now for the most important part SHOPPING! The first thing that comes to my head when I think of Paris will always be fashion. Home to the many amazingly talent designers and brands such as Louis Vuitton, Christian Dior, Karl Lagerfeld, Christina Louboutin, John Galliano, just a few of my idols. Paris is particularly famous for it's Louis flagship store and although I did a window shop there, one day hopefully I'll have one of my dreams come true and have a shopping spree in there.

Other than shopping the next bat first about Paris for me is my love Laduree. The best macaroons in the whole world!!! I don't care what anyone says even the Laduree macaroons in Covent garden and Haarrods in London still don't taste as good as the ones in Paris. Afternoon tea here is a must for anyone. So chic and sophisticated, I just love their attention for detail in everything. 

Overall Paris is a must for all girly girls and fashionistas! In my next post I'll tell you more about the vintage side of shopping in Paris and the "I could not say no" bargains I managed to find

Bonjour Paris

I just recently got back from spending a few days in Paris so I thought what better way to start my new blog than Paris. First things first - Paris is AMAZING! It is such a beautiful place, words cannot describe it. When it comes to fashion the Champs Elysees is heaven for every single girl, unfortunately it's not within the price range for the majority of us....a girl can dream! Whilst on my little wanders around the capital I did find some fabulous second hand vintage shops. One my favourites definitely has to be The Kilo Shop, this place is incredible! You pay for everything by the kilo rather than the price for each individual item. There is a wide variety so you are not stuck for choice either.

The Kilo Shop Paris Le Marais, 69-71 Rue de la Verrerie, 75004 Paris

Another favourite is L'Occaserie, it's the perfect place for secondhand haute couture. A room filled with vintage Dior, Chanel, Prada and more, it's like a mecca for every fashionista. However these big names don't come cheap, although it is second hand you are looking at roughly €350 for a designer handbag. I would still recommend a visit here just to see all the classic pieces. 

Obviously a trip to Paris isn't complete without a visit to the Louvre or the Arc de Triomphe, but nothing compares to the views of the whole of the city from the top of the Eiffel Tower, it is surreal!

Paris is a definite must visit for every fashion obsessed girl.
