FOCUS TO REMIND

There it is... the last month in Paris, time flies! And I really don't want to go home!
Now I know that I have a few weeks left here I'm really focust on all the small things here in Paris. The songs they play on TV, the movies in the theaters, all things that will remind me to my wonderfull time here in Paris.

Gamze and I made a promise that we do as much as we can this last month and live life to the fullest!

Again a short movie of the last weeks!

Kisses!

ANOTHER DAY IN PARISDISE

The last two weeks were lovely! We did a lot of fun things such as going to the movies on Champs Élysées, a big birthday party, dining at Brasserie Flo and I even got myself  in the giant wheel ( Grande Roue) at place de la Concorde for a fantastic view.

Again, every day is a blessing and that sounds sooo cliché but I’m really happy that I live here in Paris.

Another happy movie…

Big kisses,

Sanne

LIFE IS FOR LIVING NOT LIVING UP TIGHT

It’s week two and I’m feeling really at home now… 

We had an amazing week with our classmates. We saw some nice paintings and artwork from Dali at the Dali Museum in Montmartre. Of all the museums I’ve been these two weeks, I think this one got me the most.  I love how Dali makes these weird sculptures with a really great thought behind it.

On Thursday we had a blast at the party at club 67 near Champs Elyseés. We danced the night away with our classmates from Mexico, Germany and Spain. And we had a few Tequilla which explains the good conversations with the cabdriver haha!

This weekend was also great. My boyfriend visited me and we went to Saint-Germain de Prés for a lunch at Les Deux Magots. Then on Sunday we wanted to go to the Catacombe of Paris but when we arrived at the metro station we found ourselves standing right in the middle of the Gay marriage strike. And with like 50.000 people around us we couldn’t go to the Catacombe. So we went for a nice lunch and the amazing view on Tour Montparnasse.

PARIS AND // ROSE C'EST PARIS

Rose c'est Paris - Bettina Rheims

A book with the most beautifull, raw, sexy, sophisticated and weird photo's about Paris. Got this book as a birthday present from my dear friends. They know how much I adore Paris ;)

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!

ALL THAT GLITTER

A few weeks ago I had a fotoshoot for a Dutch jewelry webshop called InMyDresser. It was a shoot for the new homepage! And today the new website is online and it looks amazing! So take a look HERE for the end result! Let me know if you like it!

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…

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... // 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…
