Before every travel, I suppose that lot of you are searching all the information on the internet, what to see and where to go in certain cities.
Regarding the Paris, I have only one answer and it's pretty much simple: Everywhere! Grab your gadgets and maps and start walking! Explore every single corner of this incredible city and enjoy!
Now I'm leaving you with these photos so you can feel a little bit of Parisian magic


p.s. all the photos are made with Samsung galaxy camera and Samsung galaxy note 2, filtered through the instagram and after that resized for the blog!

And tonight I wanna introduce you to my special IM box.
I craved for them for such a long period, searched in every country that I traveled since then and finally I got the chance to try it in Paris and pick one.
Isabel Marant Dicker boots are the most comfortable shoes so far and I wouldn't stop here probably! ;)
You can't resist them!

On the road ...

Despite the snowy weather today, I decided to share this weekend look, before I continue with Instagram posts from Paris.
New baggy pants and necklace from Zara instantly became my favorites and you will see them a lot on the blog! ;)
Do you like it?

Convert

After much coveting and indecision, I finally bought a pair of New Balance.... and they subsequently stayed in the box for a good few weeks while I ummed and ahhed whether a black ankle boot person could make the transition into trainers. I’m a real amateur when it comes to trainers. The only ones I've ever really worn are converse and a fairly dodgy pair of white hi-top Reebok Classics while at university.

So I grappled with the New Balance for a while with the intention of returning them until one morning I saw said box, had an urge to wear them and without thinking too much, I did. And I haven’t really taken them off since. They've quite literally put a spring in my step and are really aiding my pre-spring resolution to walk more, rather than hopping on the nearest bus/tube/taxi.

I won’t be relegating my ankle boots to the back of my wardrobe just yet (read, I doubt I’ll ever deem my collection complete), but these definitely have me converted.

Paris instagram guide: Where to shop? ...

Shall we start our shopping tour? ;)

Just around the corner from our hotel, gorgeous Westin Vendome Paris (I will tell you more about it soon) we found cute Pierre Herme store. Probably the best macarons ever, so we decided to have our snack time here, get some energy and continue to our next goal. 

- Pierre Herme store

  4 rue Cambon 75001 Paris

After a short taxi ride (oops, it was cold), we arrived at well known Galeries Lafayette. Magnificent place will leave you speechless but trust me, a lots of tourists will quickly make you to change your mind. Despite that fact, we gave our best to enjoy in great brands, clothes, bags, jewelry,shoes and of course super cute books. You should not miss the view from the roof terrace and snap couple of photos! ;)

- Galeries Lafayette

40, boulevard Haussmann, 75009 Paris

 p.s. you will find separated buildings for Femme, Homme and Maison!

  
A few steps away, you will find Printemps, a department store which is more modern and sophisticated with better picks for every brand. Under that gorgeous cupola at the top floor, the Brasserie Printemps is hiding a perfect place for a short break before you continue torturing yourself with all that beautiful clothes! ;) At the lowest level, you can find also a cute place Cojean, where you can refresh yourself with their healthy food and snacks! 

- Printemps Department Store

64, bd Haussmann, 75009 Paris - France

When you are in Paris, you gotta visit that famous Avenue des Champs-Élysées, act a little bit crazy and sit at Laduree for brunch! Buy something which is photogenic instead of being yummy and continue the tour! ;) Despite I really liked this beautiful Avenue, it was more than crowded with tons of tourists at one place, so I can't recommend it  for a peaceful shopping. Anyway, it is worth seeing!

AVENUE des CHAMPS-ÉLYSÉES, 75008 Paris

Next stop on our tour is also well known - The Boulevard Saint-Germain. Gorgeous street with even better architecture, and beloved French doors. With big names in fashion you can stay and shop forever. Quick break is destined to be at Café de Flore. One street nearer to the Seine and you will find yourself at my personal favorites: Rue Jacob and Rue de Seine with great small shops, bookstores, open markets and many more. Don't miss it!

Boulevard Saint Germain , 75006 Paris

And if you are huge fan of flowers and cute markets, I have also a perfect place for you.

Rue de Bretagne, 75003 Paris
p.s. don't worry, quick break is only a few steps away at Cafe Charlot! ;)

1 Place Vendôme, 75001 Paris

Rue Saint-Honoré, 75001 Paris

Rue de Rivoli, 75001 Paris

and we are done! 

p.s. in the next post, you will see what was in those plastic bags! ;)
