So I didn't bother writing any posts in Paris as the wifi was a complete mess, and now on the island of Majorca there was no internet. But I have finally managed to grab some here in the reception! I really wish I could of wrote more in Paris as I don't really remember the daily events and don't have the time to write it all down. But Paris is a dream! Obviously the language barrier is the only problem. Saying 'merci' so many times it drills into your head! I'm now saying to people who can speak English ii's that far in my head!!!
But back to Paris, certainly a dream! Went to all the landmarks and buildings and the paris louvre! That was magnificent, but soooo exhausting! The Eiffel tower, well you know its massive but until you're at the top. That's only when you realise how fucking huge it is! The food was delicious and the wine was gorgeous! But may I just say that the best part was the last day in Paris. Where I accidentally found a store holding millions upon millions of french and worldwide magazines! Interview Magazine, i-D, V Magazine, Harper's Bazaar and of course VOGUE! :D This brought a great smile to my face! I spent about an hour just flicking through past issues... from 2007 to 1920! It was amazing! I would of purchased a copy of one of the 1920's ones but the figure wasn't too bad, but not my sort of money... :( But never mind I still had a joy flicking through them. And experiencing history within my finger tips. Trends coming and going and of course famously reoccurring!
Because of my unfortunate budget I ended up buying a 2007 copy of french vogue, only because it had some of my favourite collections including Gareth Pugh which I don't seem to have documented in any of my many vogues or fash mags. And along side Vogue a copy of 2007's V Magazine with cover girl Janet Jackson! Which had some particularly good articles and some fab photo shoots.
I know it may of seemed like I had squandered my chance at getting a possibly more memorable issue of any of the magazines but the 2007 September issue of Vogue was not to be seen. And to me these two magazines had some really great photos and some pretty revolutionary seasons of clothes.
Apart from that Paris was dream, but I must say the more I saw the more reality kicked in and the less of a dream it all became. I was going to visit Chanel and Dior and see some fabulous history and gorgeous clothes. But I thought I'd save a bit of dream till I next go!
I will be posting up some photos of Paris I just have to find some good ones :)
Then back in London after almost a week in Paris, it made London feel almost like a home. An old friend I had missed. and boy it was good to back! But only for a few days :( until it was tom to move on to the island of Majorca!!!
The heat is lovely for a change and swims in the pool are lovely and baking in the Spanish sun is lovely. But there really isn;t that much else to do besides eat and read. :/
All I can say is I'm looking forward more then ever to get back to London for the 2 weeks I'll be spending there! I'll be meeting up with my friend and it'll be FAHION FASHION FASHION. Nothing else but that on this blog! Back to it's old self! And tones of photos galore! Can't wait to get back to fashion blogging! It's what I miss the most.
J'adore
