Paris: Photo Diary Part Deux

Paris: Photo Diary Part Un

The thing about Paris is that you really don't need to go out of your way to visit places and see things to experience Paris. I mean, of course you must see the Louvre and go eat some macaroons from Pierre Hermes but my trip could've easily been just as great without it. I was constantly in awe of this great city by simply walking down the Parisian Boulevards and Rues, and with a gelato in one hand? Life couldn't have been any more sweeter. Every turn is beautiful, it's grand and impressive or quaint and romantic.  It's a very relaxed and slow paced environment... that European ease you hear so much about. It's hard to get a breath of fresh air in Paris as everyone smokes but it wasn't stifling, it was just ... Paris! And, it was perfect. 

Bonjour!

Bon nouvelles!

I'm going to Paris!!!! I wish I had a bit more time to plan, learn some key french phrases etc but alas c'est la vie. When your dream is handed to you, you do not complain. I'm going to Paris in 8 days and I simply cannot believe it!

Originally meant to be a trip to London with my mom, she surprised me with our flight into Europe landing in Paris. Paris is the one destination I've been dreaming about ever since I could remember. Who hasn't got their little Eiffel Tower trinket somewhere in their house? The country of Brigitte Bardot, Macarons, Degas, Napolean! Monet! ...This trip will be one I will never forget!

Dime Piece

I’ve been in one big rush ever since I can remember. A rush to grow up, a rush to drive, a rush to move out, anything I wasn’t allowed to do at the moment- I was in a hurry to do it. But now that I’m in my mid-twenties, I find that I’m constantly in want of more time, for it to slow down just a bit and to have more hours in the day. My dad always said, “Everyone is given the same 24 hours, it's how you choose to use it that sets you apart”.  I'm still learning to make the most of my day but maybe if I had a classic timepiece I could manage it better... (Insert sly grin here). 

I've been obsessed with these Chanel Premiere watches since its debut earlier this spring. A relaunch from the original Premiere collection in 1987, this baby is back with a new band. These watches are so minimally classic and perfectly beautiful, I often catch myself dreaming of a life with a Premiere in my possession. However with the steep prices beginning at $4,300 and going as high as $28,500 in my dreams is the only place I'll be seeing them. 

By the way, did you know the face of the watch was inspired by the Paris Vendome?
