More Locks of Love

From my walk to the Pompidou today, I am so inspired by these locks of love adorning the bridges over the Seine.

Thrift Shopping behind Rue de Rivioli

There is a very popular flea market clothing shop in Paris behind Rue de Rivioli.

 There was a line out the door to even entered and once you did, it was a swarm of super aggresive hipsters digging through piles of vintage (lots of 80s, unfortunately). 

Now You See It...

Now you don't!

((Obsessed with my grey slit maxi from Zara, surely now one of my favorite pieces.))

With the French flag waving. In front of the Tower of San Jaques - a tower once so tall that during the middle ages it would guide the travelers on their religious pilgrimages to the next destination.

Around the Jardin des Tuilleries

--the Tuilleries is quickly becoming one of my favorite places in Paris--

Café Boheme

Fact: Chloe and I are living in Paris and we are both quite broke. We cook (very delicious things) everyday except Saturdays. Saturdays we get to give ourselves a break and eat out somewhere worth it since we are, afterall, here.

Les Pietons Tapas Bar

To be very clear about something - walking around Paris is tiring. 

Navigating a sea of people, in the heels that you were naturally too stubborn not to wear for several hours can be very exhausting. As the effort put forth to accomplish this very directly affects Chloe and I's blood sugar, we often find ourselves feeling very starved and desperate for a bite to eat. While I have taken to packing madelines and other snacks, sometimes it is just not enough. Enter Les Pietons Tapas's bar, a perfect stop near Rue Rivioli for a small bite..

And a 2euro glass of sangria!

Patas Bravas, however, sadly, the paled in comparison to the real thing.

Waiting for the 67

Chloe and I have recently fallen for the bus system.

Chloe and the Black Cat

Another little character in our courtyard.

Changing Seasons

It is a beautiful autumn day in this beautiful city I live in and I am, unsurprisingly, feeling dreamy and romantic and happy to be alive.

The sun bursting down on me through the statuesque old trees and building on my walk to Jussieu.
