Back home now. I know that you are wondering about what I've packed to that amazing trip and what I've brought back (Well, if I were you, I'd definitely be thinking about that). So I will unpack my suitcases with you. I'll also share with you what I wore each day and show you some of the things I've bought from there.
First thing first, my suit case.
I was told to travel with cheap ones as they are less likely to be stolen or lost. So this was my travelling choice, cute, elegant and relatively cheap.
Organizing it was so much fun as well as a nightmare to fit everything in, because I'm an over packer.
I loved the matchy matchy vibe so I went a little bit over board, even with my back bag...
Onto my travel outfit
My travel outfit was so comfortable and I like how it turned out, I wore it in both of my flights. I took nothing special in my back bag, just a pair of air pods and some essentials.
Lets start with what I wore in my first day.
My most Parisian outfit...
Black an white striped shirt, high wasted black pants(the same one I traveled with), a beret with a hint of red, so much red.....
Don't judge! I wanted to rock my first day with confidence.
Walking in this outfit was a dream came true.
It was a so basic outfit so I paired it with some silver jewelry.
Day 2.
Stripped shirt, again. But since I decided to enjoy my morning in the gardens, flowy style was a go to. What would he a perfect match than a pink skirt. I was going for a cute ballerina vibe to match the night event. To match my bag I went with a gold/ rose gold jewelry.
The evening
I don't want to start talking about that night cause if I do, we will be here till tomorrow. let me tell you about the nicer option I took with me. In my head I thought that I could dress this dress up or down but after that night I believe now, it could only be dressed up. The bag was a good piece that transitioned from day to night but what was a show stopper was the Louis Vuitton heels and it matched the dress perfectly.
For sure gold was the only appropriate jewelry for this look.
Day 3
As much as I'm not an advocate for sneakers with dresses, I had to break my own rule for that day. It was too hot to wear jeans and my feet were too tired from the day before plus I knew there were a hiking trip to the church so the sneaker was a must.
To go along with the details on the bag, I went with golden accessories.
What I brought back
The time has come to show you the amount of damage I've made...
The suit case.
Now now, don't start being judgy, I know what you are thinking 'Ted Baker suitcase, really!' but hear me out. Look at it! It is a work of art on its own (have you seen the interior????) and believe me, I was worried sick about it in the airport so I bought it a cover (my good options were limited OK) and rest assure it has arrived safely home.
I picked up some nice clothes there, some were affordable and some were ZIMMERMANN.
They were discounted so it was a good opportunity and cute too, don't you think?
I'm not showing you every single thing I got, these are just the highlights.
I want to say that accessories were my passion but you know what my Passion is. Yet, I did splurge on items along with some perfumes , bath booms (I used one back at the hotel) and soaps. The perfumes were freaking pricey so I bought travel size ones (which means I loved the MON PARIS one that I bought a regular size bottle and a travel size one and before leaving I had to get the daisy scent so I went with a travel size too.) I can't exactly remember where I got the CHAMPS ELYSEE one but I'm sure it was from the Champs Elysee.
On to what I can call a passion...
First of all, I Loved a lot of tableware and there were a lot of amazing ones I really wanted to buy but I was afraid to run out of space (which it kinda happened) so I decided to buy that one cause I saw it in one of the cafes I've visited and I felt that I had to have it.
Boy oh boy,, onto the part I didn't go into details in my journey telling. I still won't go into details but I'll mention the places I got things from.
I had one late afternoon snack in Ladurée and I went crazy over everything there so I of course had to bring some home. Unfortunately most of their sweet stuff wouldn't have survived the trip home but the staff there were so nice and very helpful, they told me that the macrons were the best to survive the travel and they packed it in a special way for that purpose.
Onto another snack break I went to Angelina Paris and got some little things along with my hot chocolate. I got macron cream (spoiler alert I didn't use it in the macron). I tried that chocolate milk one day while I was in Paris and once I found it there I couldn't leave the store without some.
I know you are asking about the rest of the things I've packed and the things I bought from the gift shops at the monuments.
In my opinion you'd be bored if I show you things I didn't use so I decided to omit that.
The gift shops didn't have things I was so interested in, they were either so big or so cliche (yet I have bought the key chain and the charm).
There were only two things I wanted but, I didn't end up buying them which both were at the opera . First was a small ballet outfit. It was so cute but I don't have anyone to give to so I had to leave it behind. Second thing was a signed Romeo and Juliet book but I didn't find it.
Oh I remember,, I debated buying a pink beret for my second day outfit but unfortunately it wasn't that comfortable the first day and it was too hot to wear it again any other day.
Ya,,, that's all, I think. If you have any questions or suggestions leave them below.
See you soon in my next adventure...
