ONCE UPON A TIME IN PARIS

le premier jour
Hi there. I am back with another blog post. Back in early March, my friends and I went to Paris!  It was a quick trip for me however, I had a good time and just took my time to walk and savor the city of light.  It was during PFW and the city was busy and so much things were happening.  I'm going to be honest with you, I didn't take much photos in this trip because Paris will always be Paris, it's not going to change.  You can always check my previous Paris post for more photos.  Without further ado, click the "Read More" link below for more les photos!

Pink Mamma was such a cute restaurant! It's located on 20bis Rue de Douai, 75009 Paris, France.  I remember, I was just so jet lagged so I wasn't very energetic during my dine-in experience but I remember we ate on the second floor while looking at the open kitchen and the cute chefs haha. Honestly speaking, I don't remember what I ordered and it was such a blur. But I do recommend visiting that place.  CLICK HERE FOR PINK MAMMA'S WEBSITE

I know this is a very touristy thing to do, but going up the Triomphe was truly a bucket list of mine to do.  We woke up early in the morning and I believe we went up at 10am and the queue were already miles long. Thankfully, I pre-booked the tickets on Viator.com

When this photo was taken, it was around 5pm and gloomy. The weather in March is freezing hence why the gloomy/rainy climate.  I had to wear shades to protect my eyes because the chilly air was making my eyes super dry.  Any dry eye ideas?

my favorite: place vendôme
We walked around Place Vendome because why not? This is my favorite square in Paris. So many people walking and one day, one day I will stay at the Ritz haha.

This is my favorite Tommy Hilfiger trench coat wrap because it fits me so well without needing to alter or hem the length. As you know, ya boi is not that tall.  You can never go wrong with a trench coat in Paris.

samaritaine
Ok, I will be honest. I have a new favorite store. It's the Samaritaine.  It's like a mini Galeries Lafayette but everything is available.  From fashion to beauty to food you are covered! My favorite spot was the The Frankie Shop pop up during that time.

Did you know that the Eiffel Tower used to be reddish/copper in color and now it's more of a grayish-brown color.  It has been painted many times before.

first time watching the moulin rouge
I was so excited that we watched Moulin Rouge. I know, it's very touristy thing to do but this was my first time watching a cabaret show.  It was sensory overload but we were not allowed to take any photos.

There you go. Here are the photos that I chose to share with all of you. I hope you enjoyed them. People ask me why it takes me a long time to upload a blog post. Sometimes, it would take several months for me before I upload.. My quick and short answer is that I get lazy and I have other things that I am focused on. Additionally, I have to plan the blog post in advance therefore, it would take me longer to post trips. But again, this blog is not going to be all about travels anymore. I want to talk about everything, lifestyle related.  Until next time babes.  Heart shape emoji to you all.
