I’ve always been amazed when I’ve asked someone where they bought something and they tell me from a vintage store. I’ve never really had much luck before and despite living next to some great vintage stores in Paris, the only time I attempted it, I walked in, had a quick look around and then gave up. I guess I’m quite the lazy shopper – I … Continue reading Vintage Shopping
Ok, for all you vegans out there in Paris, I have something very special to share with you! Hank Burger sells vegan burgers which are delicious! (& not expensive at all!) 😀 I actually stumbled across them with a friend when we walking along rue des Archives and decided to go there a while back, before we even realised it was vegan! I’m not exactly sure … Continue reading Hank
I’d always thought of the denim skirt as a ‘Mumsy’ skirt. Then a few weekends ago I went into American Apparel, and came out wearing a completely different outfit, including this little denim number… I don’t really know what happened (!) I’d been in before and seen it, and I have a similar skirt to this one in silver leather which I love, so maybe … Continue reading Denim Skirts
One of the hardest things I’ve found with a vegan & gluten free diet is going out for meals. Especially if I’m with people, we’re in a hurry and need to grab something quickly, for example on my lunch break. We were heading to the park to enjoy the sun today and I remembered seeing this little café on rue Vieille du Temple not far … Continue reading Höja
For any gluten free foodies out there (especially if you’re in Paris!) I have some exciting news! I’ve found an authentic gluten free French patisserie (which is actually really good!) Hope you’re excited as we were! 🙂 This idiot came to visit me last weekend and as he’s gluten intolerant, when I heard about Helmut Newcake I was really excited to go there with him. … Continue reading Helmut Newcake
I finally found the name of that little boutique I’d been meaning to tell you about! I’ve been trying to work out what it means, but what I’ve got so far is bows and somersaults (?) so any help would be much appreciated!! It’s on rue Vieille du Temple, just on the border between the 3rd and 4th arrondissements in Paris. It only opened a … Continue reading Courbettes & Galipettes
Ok, so be prepared for a slightly random post today! Last weekend I went to my cousins wedding in Devon. The weather was beautiful, everything was wonderful and it was just the perfect day! She looked incredible in her dress! 🙂 That’s one of my favourite things about weddings, is seeing the bride in her dress for the first time. I used to work as … Continue reading Rime Arodaky
After being inspired by reading the Londoner’s post, I was desperate to go and check out Paris’ concept store Merci for myself. So when my flatmate suggested going for brunch, I had the perfect excuse! 🙂 Located in le Marais, Merci is quite unusual; it’s a garden store, clothing store, home-ware store, restaurant and café with its famous little fiat by the entrance… We went … Continue reading Merci, merci
Yesterday I went for a really cute little lunch date with my friend to Berthillon. Berthillon is famously known for the best ice cream in Paris, and I totally agree! Although their ice cream is sold in many restaurants all over Paris, I highly recommend going to their little tearoom on Île Saint-Louis, (the little island behind the Notre dame), as this way you get … Continue reading Berthillon
Rose Bakery is a little café on Rue Debelleyme that is the perfect place to catch up with friends over a cup of tea and a piece of cake. The desserts are delicious and the salads are really, really good. They have a load of different flavours of teas to choose from, healthy juices, quiches and mini pizzas, plus if you don’t speak French all … Continue reading Rose Bakery
