We have officially made it to Paris
We're in the airbnb now and it is so cute. I have to show you guys a little tour
This is what it looks like when you first walk in and this is the kitchen. I think it is so cute
I love that it is all out. I love the industrial feel of everything and there's even a desk and like workstation
I'm not gonna do any work this trip. Let me turn this on
So now you guys can see what the view looks like and then this is what the
Bedroom looks like and there's even shades that go up and down
So I think that is so cute and perfect for a good night's sleep. This is the bathroom. It's also super spacious
There's a washing machine as well and then a really nice shower
And so i'm gonna be in here for the next four days, but now i'm literally starving
So i'm gonna get ready and head out to a little bistro for some dinner
I have not made any reservations during this trip. I have more of a bucket list planned for this trip
So things I want to see and do but not necessarily all planned out hour by hour. Yeah, let's get ready
Okay, so ainsley and I have just made it out of the airbnb
We got dressed really quickly in matching brown and we walked approximately 200 meters before someone came up to us and asked to take a picture
of us so
We said no obviously because that's kind of odd and I also don't really understand like what they were
Asking for it was a man too. Yeah, it was a man also he was on the phone and it was so odd
I was like no and he was like really he signed. Yeah, he was like really
but
anyway
Okay, I managed to get a table without a reservation we only had to wait like seven minutes so honestly not bad timing
But it is like eight o'clock right now and we just ordered starters
And then we got a steak freeze to share
Okay, ainsley and I wanted to get a little bit of sweet and sour
So we got a harris breast and the one we had last time was so so small so this is truly the best thing ever
That looks so good
Right, it's so good
I had this dream and this goal to bike to the eiffel tower on my first day in paris to watch it sparkle
But it is four kilometers away. So we're going to city bike it
I honestly haven't even city biked in toronto. So we're gonna have to see how it goes in paris
We made it
We made it to the eiffel tower barely following a route or a map
We were kind of just going with the flow of traffic. That was a little chaotic
We had no idea where the lanes were. We were like trying to follow them. But yeah, we can't see
I know my contacts are also like not the right prescription. But now the eiffel tower is gonna twinkle. So
Hi guys, it is day two of paris i've just gotten ready super quickly i'm wearing a matching set today
It's like a corset and mini skirt and we just come to one of the oldest bakeries that make croissants
And it's called so her is recommended to us by our friend. Vincent
We're just gonna get a classic croissant and probably a cappuccino or espresso at a nearby cafe before getting into the day
So let's go inside
I just decided to get a hot chocolate this morning because not a very big coffee or espresso person
Because they were super kind and gave us a little gift card
So we're gonna pick out a few things and try on a few of their new styles for fall
Okay, this is the first cardigan that i'm trying on I think it is so cute I really love this color
I think i'm gonna be able to wear it with multiple things
I like that the sleeves are not too short. And so I think i'm gonna go with this one
I'm gonna show you guys this other color and other size, but I think it's too big
So this is the same cardigan in a different color and I think it just looks a little too big for me
Especially because the arms are gonna be tight
So I think it doesn't make sense for it to be tight and then super duper loose. I like this color though
Hey guys, I just got in from Cezanne and I just had a little outfit change
And I feel like I usually stray away from color in my wardrobe
But this trip we're definitely changing that and same goes for dressing up my phone
And of course, that's all thanks to casetify
Every time I change my phone
The one thing that I do is make sure that it's wearing a casetify case
And so with the launch of the iphone 17, that is no exception
I can take this off and you can see the print a little bit better
I feel like it matches my outfit so perfectly I even have this other one which is more fun
And I think even matches my lip shade perfectly casetify always just makes the most fun prints
I have this matcha made in heaven and it is a glaze case
And so it's super high shine and of course all other cases are magsafe because I always like to have accessories on it
This is the snappy snap and stick grip stand and so it suctions onto smooth surfaces
So you can do a fit check or if you just want to prop it up somewhere
And then also just pops out like this and that's just how you use it as the grip stand
But I really just love how the cases are so customizable. It can go with any of your aesthetics
I just love that casetify has scratch resistant strong and protective for your actual phone products
There are so many different prints to choose from and accessories
They even have really cute phone straps that are perfect just to have around your hand
If you're kind of clumsy like me and you like drop your phone often
It's good to just have a little strap around your wrist not to mention
It's very cute and there are so many different styles
Obviously today I picked up more cases from the loo the store is so cute
They had so many different options on the wall. There are artwork inspired cases as well
So if you want to get 15 off at casetify or see the other casetify aesthetics
Then you can go to my link in the description box below or scan the qr code on screen
We're headed over to the Louvre right now. I've heard from so many people that you can spend days exploring the Louvre
So we're allocating a big chunk of the afternoon and i'm actually gonna break out the new shoes that I got in Nice
I got these really cute ballerinas and I think it just goes well with my outfit right now. So yeah, let's get going
So
It is so incredibly busy here, oh my gosh
So we have made our way through all of level one here
We started at napoleon the third's apartment and then obviously saw all of these antiques and then ended up at the mona lisa
Which was so packed and now we're on level zero
Just looking at all of these different sculptures, which is the room that i'm in right now
Some of these sculptures are so insane, but we're trying to make our way down to minus one as well
Just to see like history of the Louvre
We finished at the Louvre and now we're headed to the sixth arrondissement for a steak feast dinner part two
Because it includes two rounds of steak and then unlimited fries
So that is where we were supposed to go for dinner, but the line literally is out of frame
So we are not going there because I do not want to wait
More than like an hour and a half to have dinner because it's already seven o'clock
So we're just gonna pop in to another place and then I do have a cafe spot that I want to go to for dessert
So that's our plan for now. Also, I want to talk about our bike ride
It was literally supposed to take 10 minutes. It was five kilometers. It's not even that far and it took 45
Well to be fair there was rush hour and then we got lost
I have never seen that many bikers on the road unless it was for an actual race like this is insane
I'm, not even a biker. I don't know why i'm biking during rush hour here
So
We are in paulette are so cute you guys know I have been wearing them for several years now
And so i'm finally in one of the paris showrooms, but i'm torn between a few styles
So i'm gonna show you guys
So this is the first style that I really love and I am really close to getting just because I love a little shoulder bag
But then I also really love this style. It's a little bit chunkier and I feel like you hold more things
I just feel like the odds of me wearing it are a little bit smaller because it's more of a handheld bag
And I am more of a shoulder girl bag. So
I'm gonna try both on and see what works
I got my first matcha latte in paris. And of course it is a strawberry one. It also matches my top today
So
Our breakfast spans two tables
But we got a french breakfast, which is one hot drink orange juice
And I just chose bread and butter and then the english breakfast was two eggs and we chose an omelet bread yogurt
And also a hot drink and orange juice
Completely forget the building we were just in but I did a bunch of souvenir shopping and i'm so excited to show you guys
a haul when I get home
But now we're headed back just to drop off some stuff because it's getting a little bit heavy
And then we're gonna explore le marais
So
We got raspberry pistachio a halloween special matcha lemon and tiramisu
It's a strong matcha flavor
You with your heels your boots
Guys I have just gotten in and i'm already seated in this chair because I have been in these tall
Boots since 10 30 a.m. It is now 12 30 a.m
That's literally over 12 hours. These heels are literally not a joke. They're at least three to four inches tall
They're so dirty now, but I literally just need to take these off with you because this is insane
Oh my gosh, my feet are actually so freaking dead. You guys know i'm literally a flat shoe girl, too
I don't even know if my feet remember how to lay flat. They've just been like this literally all day
But yeah now i'm going to massage and raise my feet
