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....
