what i think about when i think about paris






        



My friend Hannah recently returned from a lovely summer holiday in France. I have been counting down until my holiday (6 months away!) and love hearing friends experiences whilst overseas. Hannah ate at some amazing looking places (you can have a look on her blog) and picked up a few little goodies (remember my obsession with delicate jewellery?). 
I was lucky enough to have her bring me back this knitted cotton/linen sweater from COS. I am a regular visitor of their website even though it's impossible to get outside of Europe. You can imagine how happy I was to hear they still had this guy and that it was 50% off! 
I have been making a little list of eateries I must visit in Paris. Rose Bakery is the top of the list, I have had their cookbook for six years now and I can't wait to try their famous carrot cake!! There are a few others I have bookmarked in my Time Out Paris guide but I have also been enjoying the travel photos on thank you, ok and miss little lime's Paris guide.

p.s. Thanks Han for the salted caramel chocolate - my own little piece of Paris!

    What a lovely collection of things. I'm sure you'll have an amazing trip. Wish I could give you some recommendations but it's been so long since I visited.

    I too am obsessed with Cos, I have been frequenting their site to lust over a black linen cardigan for months. It's so frustrating to see what you want and be unable to order it, much like Monki.

    Thankyou Tash, I'm looking forward to the full COS experience on my trip. Hopefully they will release an online store in future!

    Also I'm glad to see you are blogging again, I was a fan of excessive consumption.

    Amie, I can't believe you graduate this year. You should definitely go!
    I'm hoping to go to uni next year and do a NY exchange like you, it looked like so much fun.

    Man, how much do I want to go to Paris now?? The urge has been building for a while. Maybe Christmas? Christmas in Paris is lovely in a cold, wet sort of way.

    I too am OBSESSED with the thought of Parisian bakeries. Having just found out I can't eat wheat you would think they'd no longer appeal, but nooo - makes them all the more dreamy to me, haha. I loved this little collection of photos, such a lovely post x
