I heart Paris

Friday I went shopping in Paris with my mom and sister. I've been to Paris two times before, but the energy still suprises me. I just love it there. Although we only stayed for one day, we visited a lot..traveling by subway really helps. We went to the Eiffel tower, my favorite building in the whole world..

After that we headed over to the Champs Elysées..for a look at the Arc du Triomphe, and some breakfast. We sat down, and had a cup of coffee, and some macarons. I forgot how yummy they are! After our breakfast, I wanted to open my bottle of bubbly water..but that did not work out for me at all..It splashed all over me..luckily I was wearing a lot of black :) 

When we finally finished our lovely pastries..we walked a little further, to start the shopping. The first store we entered was the Massimo Dutti store. I bought a top there..very simple, black and white striped, short sleeves, and buttons in the back. Simple mais très chique. 

We walked on, and passed a few of the expensive brands..like Cartier, louis vuitton, swarovski, stores that I just stare at, and hope I'll be rich enough to one day buy something there. 

But when we got to the H&M store, the crazyness began..I was shocked because the store was HUGE..the store that I work in, in Leuven..is so small compared to this one..it had 3 floors..with enough clothes to keep you occupied for days. I finally ended up with some nailpolish ( my addiction ), underwear , a pair of fake nerdy glasses, a boyfriend baseball jacket, and a lot of clothes for my man at home. He doesn't like to shop, so I do it for him. I don't mind, I like to spoil him. :) 

Then I saw the Sephora store..The moment I walked in, it hit me..this was paradise. Again, HUGE store, people getting their make up done..make up artists everywhere, giving you advice where needed. I ended up getting nailpolish again (plus nail polish remover), along with some M.A.C products, and a Dior mascara. 

One of the last stores we visited was the Zara..I bought two pair of shoes..

After the shopping, we headed over to Montmartre, to sit on the steps at Sacre Coeur, and enjoy the view. On our way back, we found a cute little italian place, where we stopped for some dinner. After our delicious meal, we headed back to Gare du Nord..to find that all the trains were delayed..all delayes considered, I had a lovely day..Paris is amazing..I'm going back very soon. xoxo
