HOTSPOTS // RUE BUCI

Every time when I’m in Paris I go to one of the cutest streets in Saint-Germain, Rue Buci. A lovely street with cozy bookstores, trendy cocktailbars and café’s and a very cute flowershop!

The cocktails at café Jade are trés delicieux! The bar has a funny interior, with the walls covered with the names of famous Parisians and other famous artists. While enjoying a cocktail, you’ll watch the latest fashion trends on fashion TV in beautiful Saint-Germain. So next year when I’m in Paris, here is where I spend my fridaynights!

Then, there is the Taschen bookstore at Rue Buci, we all know the big books from Taschen! You can spend here hours looking pictures in the lovely books.

Hungry? Try PAUL boulangerie. You can eat here very delicious hamburgers or fine crepes. Did you know that in Paris, eating a hamburger (not the one from McDonalds, I mean a real hamburger) is hot and happening? Weird huh?

Don't forget the lovely music by George Shearing!

MON PARIS // YOU NEED TO LOCK HER!

Back in Paris my boyfriend and I wanted to go to the Pont Des Arts, couples hang a lock on this bridge to ‘’lock’’ their relationship.  Heading downstairs in the hotel with the elevator an elderly woman stepped into the elevator with us. She looks nicely to me and to my boyfriend. Silence... in the petit elevator. Then she looks at me again, ‘’oh you are so beautiful! Is this your husband?’’  ‘’Hahaha no, it’s my boyfriend.’’ I answered.  She grabbed my hand looking to my ''ring-less'' fingers and said to my boyfriend: ‘’ You need to lock her! ‘’ We laughed and said that we were going to the Pont Des Arts to lock ''us''.

Once arrived, we found ourselves standing on the bridge without a lock! How stupid?
(don't miss the music by Yann Tiersen)

MON PARIS // LA VIE EN ROSE

I just want to say that I can not wait! Till ‘I’m going to Paris for five months with my girl Gamze! It’s in my head everyday! Knowing that we’re actually going to live there is a dream come true. The search for apartments begins…
Paris je t’aime!

PARIS AND...// LES INTOUCHABLES

‘’You’re such a crybaby.’’ My boyfriend said to me. On our way home I couldn’t stop my tears from falling. They kept coming. When we got home he asked me why I was so emotional, and I didn’t even had an answer. I didn’t knew why. The only thing I knew was that this movie really hit me hard.

Les Intouchables is based on a true story. It believes in the goodness of people. It’s funny, real and such a beautiful story.

This movie comes close to my number one movie Midnight in Paris. A must-see, I would say…








Big Kisses,

MON PARIS // BACK TO THE 20's?

If you know the movie Midnight in Paris (if not, shame on you!) you probably know the scene where Gil Pender is picked up by a few sophisticated looking Parisians. I wanted to go to that place but I didn’t know where it was located. Until my lovely boyfriend found it at a special website for all the locations of the movie. So back in Paris at (almost) midnight we went to the pick up spot...

Unfortunately there was no old Renault driving by when we heard the church bells at midnight…

Don't miss the lovely music from Stephane Wrembel!





Do you also want to try to go back to the 20s? This place is located near the Pantheon at Rue de la Montaigne Sainte-Geneviève. Good luck!

Big Kisses

MON PARIS // QUAI VOLTAIRE FURNITURE SHOPS

QUAI VOLTAIRE:

Way too expensive furniture but oh so lovely! Walking along the left bank of the Seine this ‘’piece of happiness’’ really did catch my eye. What do you think of it? Art or Kitsch?
Have a nice evening!

CITÉ DE LA MODE // SHOP WITH NO NAME

Last week I was strolling through the streets of Montmartre, heading to vintage shop Chezel. I was pretty tired because I had been to Versailles and the rest of the day I had been walking around in Saint-Germain. But the store Chezel would close at 6 o'clock and I  had to take a look! The shop is located in a nice street with several small shops. Next to Chezel there is another vintage store with nice items. I asked the saleswoman how the store was called but the store was still so new that it had no name yet. How funny! Cause it is a lovely shop already!

So when you want to go to Chezel you also must take a look at ‘’The shop with no name’’  

Below some pictures of the shop...

It's located on:

Rue Condorcet 59 (also the location of Chezel)

VILLE-LUMIÈRE // VERSAILLES DETAILS

Versailles is one of the biggest and most beautiful estates of the world. You can walk around there for days and still not have enough of all the beauty of this palace. Last week I went there again ‘cause somehow I really needed to see its beauty again. 
It is such a big palace that you actually want to rush through every room to see the whole palace in a few hours. Not a good plan I would say because you will miss all the details Versailles has to offer you.
So take your time and spot the handcrafted details in the palace... (it might take you a few days ;))

P.S. Did you know you can visit Versailles for free if you are an European resident under 26?

MON PARIS // WHERE DO WE GO?

I have had enough with this cold grey weather, and I hope when I'm in Paris next week the weather will be on my side. I can't wait to go and today I made a list where I want to go next week. Paris is such a big city; there are always new places to explore…


Where do we go?


-          Saint-Ouen market, this is a very large flea market with lots of furniture and home- accessories

-          The pick-up-place from the movie Midnight in Paris, I now know where it is! yeay! It's near the Pantheon. So I owe you a picture of this place.

-          Café des Deux Moulins, this is the café from the movie Amelie.

-          Pont des Arts, this is the bridge of love where you can hang a lock on the fence of the bridge.

-          Versailles, I've been here before but I think it is such a historical and fascinating place that I want to go back there.

-          Chezel Vintage shop, I believe this is not a cheap vintage shop, so I need some money for this one (or my boyfriend). They sell Yves Saint Laurent, Lanvin, Celine and more... ME LIKE


I’m so excited!

PARIS AND... // (NON) VALENTINE'S DAY

It’s almost Valentine’s Day and all the stores are full of lovely gifts and furry hearts. It looks like the whole world is desperately looking for a nice present for his or her lover. Personally I think Valentine’s Day is a bit hypocritical ‘cause, I don’t need a special day when I ‘’must’’ show my love to my lover.
But in a way I could understand that people take this day as their chance to show their love. So, why not in Paris? It is the perfect setting for some romance…
‘’THE GENESIS OF BUTTERFLIES’’ BY VICTOR HUGO
‘’The dawn is smiling on the dew that covers
The tearful roses; lo, the little lovers
That kiss the buds, and all the flutterings
In jasmine bloom, and privet, of white wings,
That go and come, and fly, and peep and hide,’’
Victor Hugo was one of the most influent French romantic writers of the 19th century, this is a piece of his poem ‘’The genesis of butterflies’’. He also lived in Paris at Place des Vosges, the oldest square in Paris. Also a very romantic place to go to with your lover!
Below some romantic Paris' style-things for a ( non ) Valentine’s Day…

PARIS AND... // STUDY!

It’s been a while since I posted my last writing, so I’m very sorry, but I’m back! With some great news!

The last few weeks, I‘ve been busy with getting a study place in Paris for next year. At first my school did approve, then again they didn’t… so I got very confused but last week I got an email from our manager that we still have a chance to study in Paris. If you know me, you would also know that this is my ultimate dream. It’s also a next step to become a Parisienne.

Within a few weeks I have a selection interview with school, so I’m praying that I will be the lucky one! I’ll keep you informed!

Below, some nice Paris things to get in the Paris ‘mood…
