Paris: Day 4

So day four and myself and my mother were off to the Louvre...

The Carousel de Louvre really is a beautiful place - it is filled with the most amazing natural light.

...As is the Louvre museum itself. I found that I liked the architecture better than the paintings themselves, everything is so grandeur.

Here she is...

It was unbelievably cold this day and I just wanted to be warm, thus my slightly un-glamorous outfit. I think I'm definitely channeling a bit of Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady here.. Before she became well-dressed haha!

Next we went along to Angelina on the Rue de Rivoli, which I had heard about through countless blogs. 

The interior is very pretty: old fashioned and very posh..

Myself and my mother both got the 'house specialty' patisseries.. Chocolate Mont Blanc.

While my mum went for a simple cappuccino, I gunned for the famous hot chocolate.

It was the most decadent and sinfully delicious thing I'd ever tried. I certainly couldn't drink this everyday but it tasted amazing!

We then went along the Rue Saint Honoré and went into Colette which is just the coolest place ever.

And a cheeky purchase might have been made...

Finally, we went for a wander around the Madeline area. It is really nice up there, and the famous Chanel store on Rue Cambon is close by. Unfortunately, I couldn't buy anything in there but it was interesting to have a look around! 

Paris: Day 3

So I went up to the Monmartre area to see the Sacre Coeur and wander about the little cobbled streets...

And a little selfie of the day haha.. I look a little "rabbit in the headlights". But I adore this lipstick - Nude Rose by Burberry. 

Monmartre is filled with artists on the streets selling paintings and offering to draw people. It's really pretty, and a nice place to pick up some art if you're into that kinda thing! 

And this is me, clichéd tourist much?

Next up, the Champs Elysees.. 

And of course I had to visit the mothership..

And a little purchase might have been made... (NARS God Created the Woman Palette.. oops).

And finally I rounded things off with a run at night! I got really into late night work outs while I was in Paris, and watching the light show whilst running really is motivation.

Paris: Day 2

Yes, I visited the infamous City Pharma on Rue Four! It was an exciting yet stressful experience, it is not as big as I thought it would be but it was absolutely packed! However it is the cheapest and best pharmacy to go to in all of Paris, so if you can get down to business and be willing to knock a few determined French ladies out the way to get those lot de 2 Bioderma's then definitely check it out!

As you can see, I got a rather large bag of stuff..

We stayed in the Saint-Germain area and hit up Ladur ée. I highly recommend coming to this one instead of the famous one on the Champs Elysée, far quieter but it has a lovely vibe!

I got the Thé a Rose, which was delicious, and 4 macarons. Rose, Salted Caramel, Chocolate and Pistachio. 

Next to the tea room there was a beautiful gift shop, I resisted the very tempting candles though.. 

The Saint-Germain area really is beautiful, I loved just wandering around. 

And this is the City Pharma damage! I stocked up on Bioderma of course, and Effaclar Duo. I picked up the Emryolisse Lait-Creme concentrate in a large and travel size, the Lierac Dioptecerne Eye Cream, a mini Caudalie Beauty Elixir (I have the full size, just needed one for travelling y'know?), La Roche Posay SeroZinc (fabulous product), Klorane Dry Shampoo with Oat Milk and finally two Nuxe tinted lip balms. 

Later on, we went on a little boat trip along the Seine. It was absolutely freezing, but a great way to see a lot of the sights including this beauty up here. 

After the boat trip I was chittering, and needed something to warm me up.. Cue the french onion soup! 

We decided to go to a restaurant around the corner form our hotel, quite traditional French food. I am in love with this lip product - one of the L'oreal Lip Stain things (YSL Glossy Stain dupes) in Juliet. 

Dinner was amazing - I had Steak au poivre with some chips and it was delicious! The French really know how to cook steak.. 

..and a cheeky dessert. This really was an indulgent trip.

Once we came out of the restaurant it was dark and I got to see the Eiffel Tower at night for the first time ever! 

A pretty great, but tiring day. And I will never get sick of looking at the Eiffel Tower..

Paris: Day 1

Yes so I snuck off to Paris for 6 days... The picture above is the view from the front of my hotel. Let's just say it was in a pretty incredible location. The pictures are from the day I arrived, so my mum and I just hung around the Eiffel Tower and went up it for a while. It was such a beautiful day, but soooo cold! 

This is my very, very excited face up the Eiffel Tower. 

OOTD time.. yes I did do the whole posing in a public place thing. Blogger probz.

Oh and I totally got photobombed by some guy here!

The day was rounded off with a nutella crepe and chocolat chaud. This was just the beginning of a very indulgent week. 

Afterwards we just went to bed really! We were completely shattered after travelling (1.5 hour flights are just exhausting, y'know?) and wanted to save our energy for the next day.
