Walking Around Paris

 

French Food Oh La La!

Unlike real Italian food, I really do appreciate the French cuisine! I have no clue how can French women stay so thin, but I was sure not behaving fitness appropriately in Paris... delicious goat cheese crepes, banana crepes with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream, French Onion soup... I could live on this every day! I even spent over an hour in a supermarket adoring all their delicious treats... ok, now I´m off to the gym.. as you can see I have definitely some damage control to do! ;)

Lafayette Roofterracce

The rooftop terracce of the famous Lafayette shopping center is definitely worth checking out if you ever visit Paris. The view is breathtaking, however stay away from the cafe... I had the most overpriced, soil tasting, dried out ceasar´s salad of my life here, a bit of a disappointment but hey... the view is a good compensation! ;)

 

Paris Shop Windows

Just a little eye candy to glam up your Saturday morning! ;) HAPPY WEEKEND! HAPPY CHRISTMAS Shopping!

LADUREE Paris

As I´ve been lucky enough to visit Paris several times in the past, I wasn´t really planning to go any of the obligatory tourist rounds, except for one! LADUREE! I have never had a macaroon in my life and we thought that there could not be a better start to a girlie day than breakfast at the famous Parisienne landmark. Well, I´m sad to say that I´ve yet to have breakfast, or try a macaroon at Laduree... you see we definitely wanted to sit in the cafe part and as the one on Champs Elysee was under renovation and it was too late for breakfast by the time we got to the one at Rue Royale (they don´t let you have just a coffee or a snack in lunchtime...) we were starving and settled for some tasty crepes in a nearby creperie (more on that later ;). Otherwise Laduree seems everything I´ve imagined it to be, classic girlie, chic and expensive... ;) Maybe next time!

 

 

Champs Elysees Christmas Market

Somehow I still cannot believe that we are in December and in just a few very short weeks Christmas is upon us! In Paris I´ve checked out the Champs Elysees Christmas market which was nice, but to be honest nothing compared to the charm of Christmar markets in Germany or in Hungary. Lots of sweet treats, hot wine and the obligatory sausage stands... meeeh... I rather look forward to walking around our beloved Christmas market in Budapest with my girlfriends just before Christmas! ;) Ho Ho Ho Ho!!!

 

Surprise Trip to Paris

I hardly had time to frantically throw everything out of my suitcase and switch my bikinis & pareos for my winter coat and leather gloves and I was already off to Paris! ;) This trip, even though it was planned for a while, was a total secret, as I decided to hop over to surprise one of my best friends on her birthday! The long weekend has been a blur of girlie talks, delicious raspberry mojitos, blogger friends, walking around, shooting, Christmas markets, trying to avoid the rain and a ridiculous amount of crepes. More to come on my Parisienne adventures soon. ;) Here is what I was wearing almost the entire time. Zara wool jacket, brown leather gloves, my favorite Foley + Corinna maxi bag, leggings and riding boots. Paris, Je t´aime (except for the rain)!
