Cupcakes in Paris

Ah Paris, je t'aimeee! While we were there to shop, we stopped at this very cute cupcakery. It's placed behind the Notre Dame: 26 Rue Chanoinesse. If you are ever near this place, i really oblige you to taste their cupcakes! I picked an oreo one and it was seriously the best i've ever tasted. I wore my Red Valentino coat for the very first time and i can still see myself wearing it when im an old lady. Wouldnt it match well with a short white haircut? :)

Shoppingtrip to Paris

First things first: des croissants! After a two hour drive we need to recharge and prepare for some serious shopping :)

Our first stop is the giant Louis Vuitton store at Champs-Elyséés.

 Walking through the beautiful streets, love this giant ad for Dior.

Big smile! Something from my wishlist can be checked off, i will make a post about it later!

Very cool outfits at Colette.

I loved this store, it sells Marc by Marc Jacobs accessoiries, nice books and stationery. It's at Place du Marché Saint-Honoré 17.

Ahh, can i get an appartment here pleaaase?

Small break with chocolate cake!

One of the romantic spots in Paris: Ponts des Arts! 

 Lovely view over the Seine, the weather was so goood!

One of the highlights of the trip was this cuter than cute place in a street behind the Notre Dame. The cupcakes were heavenly!

Thank god for metro's, my feet were so dead after all the strolling.

Kenzo by night while walking to the restaurant.

We ate at Budhha Bar. Best. Restaurant. Ever. Really! It was so cozy over there: the lightning, music, food, atmosphere, it was all perfect. I absolutely recommend this place!

I ordered some sushi. Do you see the little green dot at the top left of the plate? Thats wasabi, it tastes a bit like mustard but a million times more piquant! Whoa, just a little tiny bit is enough to make your eyes all teary from spiciness. But the sushi, ooh the sushi, it was the best i ever had! Perfect end for a very lovely day in Paris!

Brogue collection

I love brogues! I like how they can give an outfit some instant preppiness. My absolute favourites are the silver ones. They can make a look so much more interesting and the silver surprisingly matches with alot of colors! I prefer to wear them with some skinny pants that are rolled up to the ankles. What's on my brogue-wishlist are some simple black onces like these from Church's, they are just timeless! 

Tomorrow i will be in Paris for some serious shopping! I will keep you posted, au revoir! 

White brogues: River Island / Beige and silver brogues: Zara

Perfect leopard

Zara did it again! The previous collection was a bit of a disappointment to me, but this one consists of alot of beautiful pieces again. One of them is this leopard pants. I really like how it's cropped at the ankles. I'm not that easy when it comes to leopard prints, but this one is just perfect! You can find it here.

Beauty talk

Morning routine

In the morning I use a daycream (right now it’s the L’oreal Skin Perfection, but I like to try out new things regularly). After that I apply some eye cream from Clinique (repair wear laser focus).

After that it’s make-up time! I use a BB cream from Garnier, Mac blush (Sincere), Max Factor (Clump defy extensions false lash effect) mascara and I use an eyebrow pencil from MAC (Spiked). Most of the time I use a lipstick but I have a million different brands and shades. A few favorites are Chanel (Orchidée), & Other Stories (Tissue Pink) and Clinique (Super Strawberry).

On my hair I always use a hair oil and it’s Oleo Intense from Syoss at the moment. It just makes my hair a lot softer and easier to style. 

Products i use during the day

I don’t use a lot of products during the day, only some hand cream from Kiehl’s and a lip balm, also from Kiehl’s.

Evening routine

In the evening I always use my clarisonic. It’s the best thing I ever had and it leaves my skin clean and glowing. I use a cleanser from Kiehl’s (Acai Damage-Minimizing Cleanser), a Calendula Herbal-Extract toner and Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery.

I also apply the same eye cream I use in the morning (Clinique repair wear laser focus). 

Favourite product of the moment

I don’t know if it counts as a product but I’m hooked om my clarisonic.

Beauty tip

For me the products from Kiehl’s work very well but you have to try a lot of products out to compare and see what works for you. Every body is different. Besides that: water. Loads of water. And just healthy food in general. If a eat greasy food for a weak, my skin looks horrible.

Trend: tropical print

Maybe it's because the weather is becoming more and more sunnier, but my eyes keep on rolling to the direction of tropical printed items in the online stores :) Dolce & Gabanna have the best print in my opinion and alot of other brands followed with some flower and leaf printed items. I think i spy a trend over here! What's your favourite item of the selection?

1. See by Chloé printed cotton-blend jersey T-shirt 

2. Mother of Pearl nadia printed cotton-blend blazer

3. Dolce & Gabbana floral-print cotton-blend tweed straight-leg pants

4. Dolce & Gabbana floral-print cotton-blend jacquard coat

5. Oscar de la Renta peony gold-plated, resin and crystal necklace

6. Kenzo palm tree-print faux textured-leather shoulder bag
