Hello loves, So on Friday (3rd June) I went back to my favourite place in the world, PARIS. I wanted to go and buy a Chanel bag. This bag I saw in a magazine when I was 11 years old and I knew I wanted it. I started saving around last September and I wanted to save up as much as possible so I could buy whatever I wanted to in Paris. (If anyone wants a post on how I save leave a comment here or on my Instagram). All of my favourite designers are French so it would be the perfect place to go shopping.
On the Friday we went to find Av. Montaigne, where all the fabulous designer boutiques are.
This street is so beautiful and all of the stores looked amazing. We only went to find the Chanel boutique so we knew where to go on the Saturday. We were stood outside looking at all the new window display of the 'Paris in Rome' collection and my mum and auntie said just go in and buy it now! I was so unprepared because I was planning on doing it the day after! I had a whole outfit planned. My heart was pounding and I was really nervous! Anyway we went in and the store was so busy we had around a 10 minuet wait before we were served which I didn't mind. I already knew the bag I wanted, the leather and the hard wear I was just
unsure on the size. So I looked at the Jumbo classic flap and the Maxi classic flap. The minuet I tried the Maxi on I knew that this was the size I wanted. I'd already been and seen the Jumbo in the store in manchester, the woman who served me in there was so lovely and she told me so much about the bag, but when I first saw the jumbo and tried it on my heart didn't skip, I knew I would know when I saw them side by side in Paris. I decided on the Classic Flap Maxi in Caviar leather and gold hard wear. We were probably in the store around half an hour and most of the time we were waiting to be served or waiting to pay. It was a really emotional moment for all of us, my mum and auntie cried because I saved up and bought a bag I've been wanting for 10 years in my favourite place in the world. I was so happy I could've burst with excitement. We took it back to the hotel and went on with our
day. I couldn't wait to get it out and look at it (obviously each stage had a photoshoot). The day after I wanted to go back to Av Montaigne to see the rest of the street and the stores, we went into Celine. I'd seem some sunglasses I wanted but I also wanted the Nano Luggage cross body which I LOVED but I didn't have wifi so I couldn't check how much money I had left in my account so I settled for the sunglasses, which i'm so happy I got because I love them! I went for the Wayfarer-style in tortoiseshell/Havana. There were so many beautiful things in the Celine boutique and I know I didn't buy the Nano luggage this time but it's now 100% on my list. It wasn't that sunny but I wanted to wear the sunglasses! We continued on with our day walking from the Eiffel tower all the way to Notre Dame. The building in Paris are just so incredibly beautiful, I never get bored of looking at them. I still had money left and it was burning a hole in my purse! I'd wanted a Hermès Clic H bracelet for a while but I had talked myself out if buying one a few times as they are very expensive,
so I thought I'd leave it until we got into the airport as I knew there was a Hermès store in there. I wanted White & Gold, the store I was in only had the White & Rose Gold which I did want to look at but I didn't think the store would have, I tried it on and then I purchased it. I knew if I didn't buy it there I wouldn't of bought one. I just wish I could if seen the white and gold also, so when I got home I rang the Hermès in manchester and they said I could exchange it, the service was amazing. I absolutely love the White & Gold it's just more me. We had such a lovely time in Paris and we are planning on going again next year, unfortunately for us we did have a bad experience in the airport but none of us have experienced what happened before and hopefully it won't happen again. Our hotel was in an amazing location, we stayed in the Mercure Paris Centre Eiffel Tower Hotel. The minuet you walk out of the hotel the Eiffel Tower is right there and it take under 2 minuets to get to the tower! We've been before so we kinda knew where we were going but we got a map and off we went. I did go into sephora but I only purchased two Marc Jacobs Remarcable foundations. If you have never been to Paris before I highly recommend going. We went of Friday and came home on Monday, the flight is around an hour long which is nothing! I will say, we expected buying my handbag to work out cheaper but I did end up paying more than the price in pounds (£) same with my Bracelet, I did save £20 on my sunglasses, but I don't mind because I got to purchase them in my favourite city! The food was good, one morning we had our breakfast in a restaurant right next to the Givenchy Fashion House!! It was amazing. See you again Pari X
