Iron Maybe

In other news, it seems like my longstanding fight against purchasing an iron may finally be lost. As much as I hate to admit it, I need one! My cotton shirts are seriously crumpled and shabby looking... and not in a cool way. But my goodness, ironing has to be the most tedious chore ever - I heard it ruins your clothes? That's my excuse and I am sticking to it!

I have moved back to France after a well-enjoyed Christmas break and have been greeted with... exams.

One everyday. Perfect. 

Exams = Scary. Exams in Foreign Language = Impossible.

I am loving the necklace from F21 which I wrote about previously here, Topshop jeans and boots, vintage cardi and H&M crumpled cotton shirt

Shopping Diary: New Smell

'Its notes are intoxicating and incorporate blackcurrant, pink grapefruit, mandarin, lily of the valley, rose, litchi, peony, Madonna lily, along with ambrette seed, sandalwood, musk and vanilla'

Yes another perfume to add to my tiny collection (two and one tenth of my all time fave Parisienne), Dolce and Gabbana's Rose The One.

I really do like this smell, although I may dress like a teenage boy and have a face like a slapped arse half the time, I like feminine, fruity yet powerful scents and I think this one does me nicely. It stays on all day too! I squirted some on for a night out and woke up the next morning still smelling of it... a bit disorientating at the time but I love it. The packaging amazing and it actually hurt me to throw the box away T_T I may need to get out more?

Excursion à Paris

'I'm freezing my t*ts off'.

'Why is it so f*cking cold?!?!?'

'You said it's supposed to be 15 degrees, WHY ISN'T IT 15 DEGREES??'

'WHY THE HELL IS THERE NO HEATING ON THE DAMN COACH?'

Ah yes, Saturday 22nd of October started off bloody freezing... more so as we had a 6am start (practically a sin for students) and a 2 hour trip from Reims to Paris.

Big Ben. LOL jk :)

But as you can see, the sun made a fashionably late appearance and Paris was bathed in autumn sun... I can honestly say I fell in love with the city. 

Outside the Louvre

La Jaconde and her fans...

This is my absolute favourite photo. The tour guide told us that the figures made a subtle 'star' shape... beautiful.

Just chilling casually, you know how it is :)

However, I only saw a tiny portion of the city... I'd really love to visit Paris' underbelly. The banlieu, the grotty parts - the Paris you don't see on TV. It's these parts of the city that I think are just as culturally fascinating - they add a certain 'spice' to things, no?

Cover It Up!

OH HAI CAMERA.

Ah yes, the ubiquitous H&M blazer... for £24.99 I definitely had to buy it... and so did everyone else! I was having a oh-my-God-don't-look-at-my-face-it's-awful kind of day, hence having my hands clapped across my dodgy mug. It was not an attempt at super cool blog posing unfortunately.
