Paris Shopping - Post Four - Louis Vuitton - Speedy 30

So when I was strolling along the Avenue des Champs-Élysées during my trip, I was in a shopping coma! Designers, cafes, flagship stores were everywhere! Louis Vuitton a popular French fashion house, of course had its flagship store there! To get into the store, you had to line up, but it was worth the wait! I do recall it was the only fashion house with a line up to get inside to. Anyhow I only waited for ten minutes and when you get inside you feel like a kid in a candy store!!! I believe the store itself has seven floors, but I only went to two. The window designs are often changed with current trends and the shopping experience is quite cool too. You have to wait for someone to assist you, but when they do, they give you the best attention ever! I have always been a fan of Louis Vuitton, but I was never able to buy a bag when I was still a student. Heck my parents would never buy me one. So of course when in France, I had to buy a purse from Louis Vuitton!! I have always wanted the speedy because it is a classic. Yes, I know everyone has one, but how can you not resit to buy one? I went for the Speedy 30 in the monogram canvas and it suits my every day life! It looks too pretty and I can fit everything in there! Now I wonder what will my next Louis Vuitton purchase be.....hmmm.

Paris Shopping - Post Three - Chanel - Rouge Coco Shine

When one visits France, one must bring home something from Chanel! Ideally a purse, but for me it was a beautiful lipstick! More specifically, I bought a hydrating sheer lipshine that I can wear every day! The colour is called antigone and it looks like a raspberry shade. It certainly adds a nice tint to my lips. The best part about this purchase was where I bought it. I bought it at Galeries Lafayette. Basically: shopping heaven! Galeries Lafayette is one of the best department stores in Paris! The building itself was gorgeous! There were eight floors of anything you can possibly dream of and three buildings that made up this department store. The ceiling in the main building was just stunning! It was a wonderful sight to see, while shopping. However, the downside were the crowds/lack of washrooms. Regardless, when I go back to Paris, I will definitely drop more mulla there! Can't wait to go back! :)

Paris Shopping - Post Two - Farasion Loafers

One day during my trip, I was exploring the neighborhood of St-Germain-De-Prés. It was the first time I truly felt like I was in a traditional French neighborhood. There were markets, local stores, and Parisians going about their every day lives. There were hardly any tourists. By luck, I came across this store called cote a cote. I believe it is a independent store that sells local products at reasonable prices. So I was looking around their shoe department and I somehow saw these beauties! These loafers came in every possible colour; white, pink, yellow, orange, etc. I almost bought the orange or baby pink ones, but I went with the tan ones! I swear, loafers are so comfortable and I love the look it gives to any outfit. Anyways, I have no idea about the brand Farasion and its origin. Who knows, maybe it isn't a French brand! LOL! Regardless, I love my new shoes :)

Paris Shopping! Post one!

Bonjour mes amis!! Après mon voyage, je t'aime Paris plus! Paris est vraiment une belle ville. Malheureusement maintenant je vous manque Paris... Anyhoo I came back last Saturday and I was very sad to come home! I was happy to see my pets and friends, but boy do I miss the city of lights/love! I fell in love with everything Paris had to offer: the people, the buildings, the neighborhoods, the food, the museums, the monuments, the history/culture, the SHOPPING and the every day life in general. Paris was unbelievably amazing! I can't wait to go back! PS. Here is a sneak peek of the shopping damage I did in Paris....

Paris, France

Ahhhhh!!! I am heading to France tomorrow! I will be heading to Paris! I am soooo excited! What a dream come true! The shopping! The museums! The beautiful gardens! The Eiffle tower! Oh mon dieu!!

Talula Baton - Blouse

I love bows!!!! I especially love it when blouses have bows! I bought this pretty blouse from Aritzia. It is made out of silk, which makes it very sensitive. I love how the black bow makes this simple blouse more chic. As well, you can tie the bow in different ways. Overall, the material is breathable and it works well in an office or a casual setting! I am thinking of buying the sleeveless version of this blouse, but in a different colour. What do you guys think?

Superga - Classic 2750

Superga is a brand emphasizing that they are the people's shoes of Italy. As we all know, Italy is one of the fashionable countries of the world. So one would imagine Italian women wearing heels all day. However, women also need to rest their feet. So this is where Superga comes into play! Alexa Chung apparently lives by these shoes and a year ago or so she posed in their advertisements. I learned about these shoes when I was shopping at Aritzia. I bought the classic 2750 in an off white colour. They are very comfortable and they come in different colours too. The nice part about these shoes: you can wear them with dresses and still look dressy. Talk about a fashionable casual shoe to own!
