Lots of food, colors, flowers, lovely people and great energy makes this life even better. New projects are on their way and I will be able to tell you something more soon and till then, enjoy!

You may have noticed may incredibly boring post names during your time reading my blog. I'll often be non-stop writing during the creation of a post but as soon as I get to the title, I have a complete blank. Do you get that? Anyway, I've stuck to generic describing the outfit titles so as not to make a complete fool of myself! Not much has happened recently (I've been bored to death stuck at home) but my biggest news is that I've finally gone and joined instagram (a bit too late I feel). I'm a complete amateur but I have been getting into the swing of it recently so if you'd like to follow me, click here. I'm looking for people to follow as well so feel free to leave your usernames below and I will check them out. 

I had these photos spare from my shop so I decided I'd use them as an outfit post today. I do really really like this jumper. It's the perfect granny-style item I've been lusting after for ages. Don't you just love this colour? (It makes me think of toothpaste!). If I don't end up selling this jumper, I'll have absolutely no problem keeping it in my wardrobe! The velvet skirt can also be seen in this post. The truth is, I haven't worn it much since I first made it (probably because I see it more as a summer item than one to be worn in the cold) but that doesn't mean that I don't love it! You must be so so bored of seeing these shoes by now but they just go with everything and my shoe collection is still very limited - more reasons to buy some new heels!

How has your week been? What do you think of my outfit?

 jumper - vintage (buy it in my shop)

skirt - cut from the bottom of a vintage dress (see here)

shoes - New Look

Paris instagram guide: #PFW ...

Getting around a Paris during the fashion week madness is really incredible experience! Barbara Bui, Manish Arora, Cedric Charlier, Alexis Mabille, Marc Cross, Roi et moi are just some of the names in fashion which we have seen on the runways. Besides that, we also crashed at H&M party with Sonja Kovacs (editor in chief of Elle Serbia) and had amazing night!
Because of the #pfw , fashionable people are everywhere, and you never know who you'll meet! At our gorgeous hotel the Westin Paris - Vendome we run into one of my dearest girls Aimme Song and her lovely sister, but we also had chance to met super star Ashley Olsen, cute Garance Doré and Scott Schuman and as cherry on top, we met my all time favorite miss Caroline! 
So if you ask me what is the most important thing during the #pfw, I will say: Hotel! If you are at the right position, a few steps from the shows, or short taxi rides, if you are near all the fashion craziness you will feel like you are a true part of it, and you will love it!
At the end there are no words that can described better than photos, so I'm leaving you to catch the vibe!
Good night!

Paris instagram guide: Where to shop? ...

Shall we start our shopping tour? ;)

Just around the corner from our hotel, gorgeous Westin Vendome Paris (I will tell you more about it soon) we found cute Pierre Herme store. Probably the best macarons ever, so we decided to have our snack time here, get some energy and continue to our next goal. 

- Pierre Herme store

  4 rue Cambon 75001 Paris

After a short taxi ride (oops, it was cold), we arrived at well known Galeries Lafayette. Magnificent place will leave you speechless but trust me, a lots of tourists will quickly make you to change your mind. Despite that fact, we gave our best to enjoy in great brands, clothes, bags, jewelry,shoes and of course super cute books. You should not miss the view from the roof terrace and snap couple of photos! ;)

- Galeries Lafayette

40, boulevard Haussmann, 75009 Paris

 p.s. you will find separated buildings for Femme, Homme and Maison!

  
A few steps away, you will find Printemps, a department store which is more modern and sophisticated with better picks for every brand. Under that gorgeous cupola at the top floor, the Brasserie Printemps is hiding a perfect place for a short break before you continue torturing yourself with all that beautiful clothes! ;) At the lowest level, you can find also a cute place Cojean, where you can refresh yourself with their healthy food and snacks! 

- Printemps Department Store

64, bd Haussmann, 75009 Paris - France

When you are in Paris, you gotta visit that famous Avenue des Champs-Élysées, act a little bit crazy and sit at Laduree for brunch! Buy something which is photogenic instead of being yummy and continue the tour! ;) Despite I really liked this beautiful Avenue, it was more than crowded with tons of tourists at one place, so I can't recommend it  for a peaceful shopping. Anyway, it is worth seeing!

AVENUE des CHAMPS-ÉLYSÉES, 75008 Paris

Next stop on our tour is also well known - The Boulevard Saint-Germain. Gorgeous street with even better architecture, and beloved French doors. With big names in fashion you can stay and shop forever. Quick break is destined to be at Café de Flore. One street nearer to the Seine and you will find yourself at my personal favorites: Rue Jacob and Rue de Seine with great small shops, bookstores, open markets and many more. Don't miss it!

Boulevard Saint Germain , 75006 Paris

And if you are huge fan of flowers and cute markets, I have also a perfect place for you.

Rue de Bretagne, 75003 Paris
p.s. don't worry, quick break is only a few steps away at Cafe Charlot! ;)

Finally, it is time to end up this tour in the neighborhood of our hotel, so here are the addresses: 

1 Place Vendôme, 75001 Paris

Rue Saint-Honoré, 75001 Paris

Rue de Rivoli, 75001 Paris

and we are done! 

p.s. in the next post, you will see what was in those plastic bags! ;)

p.p.s. all the photos are made with Samsung galaxy camera and Samsung galaxy note 2, filtered through the instagram and after that resized for the blog!
