{PARIS!}

hello blog readers!
Finally getting caught up! It's been a busy few weeks with work and social engagements. two weekends ago I went to Paris with my good friend, Melissa. We spent most of the time just wandering, shopping & eating! The pics say it all!

Amazing first lunch at Le Barav, an excellent little wine bar on rue de la corderie in the Marais:

{everywhere you look in Paris there's just gorgeous details, even if it's just a menu, or a door knocker!}

A highlight this trip was the Marché aux Puces...absolutely fantastic! It's very overwhelming though! the flea market is essentially numerous markets in one. For a good guide (you need one as it goes on for miles so we decided which markets we wanted to go to first) consult the website which lists them all. Get off at the metro Garibaldi.

We treated ourselves to the lovely Angelina, where Coco Chanel herself used to frequent--the best place in Paris to get a hot chocolate (& anything sweet really!):

We stayed at the Hotel Bradford, a fantastic 4* near the Champs Elysées. We got a very good deal on the room which included a fantastic breakfast (normally 18 Euros):

We also enjoyed some really fun girly times, and also managed to see a good friend of mine who was also visiting Paris at the same time:
