Paris is a wonderful place, but sometimes, my experiences here seem a little transient. In that, its a city where people move to for a brief escape and then travel back to their real lives. But for those of us that have set up our "real lives" here permanently, we often encounter sadness when people, who we have befriended, have to leave. I guess, in some ways, Paris is like a dream world, everyone seeks a memory or an experience from this city, and once they've accomplished this, they can go home. And while, yes I do often feel upset and frustrated about friends' departures, I guess I should also consider myself incredibly lucky- in that, they leave with a slice of Paris, but I get to enjoy the whole cake everyday, and my goodness, it is delicious. And so that, my friends is my reflective moment for the week- they don't surface very often on here but there we have it. And on a more fun note, chopping blouses into crop tops is so simple but can turn a shirt you didn't like much into one you love. AND the weekend is here, I am staying cosy indoors tonight with all my fairy lights, mugs of tea and good company. More tomorrow! Photos: Anastasia Nielsen

WOW! I love it

Emma-Louise said...

Such a great outfit, I especially love the studded bag. I'd be way too scared to cut off the bottom of a shirt though, I'd be worried I'd ruin it. You did a great job though! x

Such a great outfit, the skirt and shirt work really well together. I understand what you mean about Paris, it must be sad seeing friends go but then again you are living in one of the most beautiful cities in the world. You must be feeling so blessed

Hi Audrey, I spent a study year abroad in Paris last year, and made some amazing friends there who came from all over the world. When I look back on my time there it seems like a magical beautiful dream...I completely get where you are coming from! Even though your friends have left you'll always have those memories and moments to treasure :)

Really like the bucket bag - surprised to see it was from UO. I had a similar one a few years ago from Topshop, but the strap broke :( And really savor your Paris cake - I would like to taste a slice one day ;) xx
