WHAT'S NEW, PUSSY CAT?

I really do wear these boots to death. Although I'm struggling at the moment because my new loafers ripped my ankles apart last week. This is probably the reason I do get so attached to a good, comfy pair of boots, because they are so damned hard to find. These topshop numbers are so kind to my tootsies.

PINK

I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with pink, I would refuse to wear it when I was younger as it reminded me of Barbie and I really didn't rate Barbie as a kid. I can remember sitting in my living room with a pair of scissors & a bin and cutting all of my barbies hair off. After that my mum threw them all out and my obsession with Lego began. I was such a boy. As I've got older, the colour pink has really started to grow on me, so much so that I would class it as one of my favourite colours. How things change eh?!

PARIS


We literally took hundreds of photo's on our trip to Paris, so selecting only a few proved to be more difficult than I first anticipated.



Day 1 (half day): We arrived in Paris around lunchtime on the Saturday and felt a bit lost and small in a big city, but managed to find the Moulin Rouge (which wasn't all glitz & showy as I imagined it would be, but quite dingy actually). We had a little walk around for a while, grabbed some late lunch and got an early night as we were all groggy from traveling.

Day 2: The next day we got up bright & early and found our way to the Arc De Triomphe. We then took a stroll down the Champs Elysees and saw the humongous LV store/head office and the remains of Paris Fashion Week. Sigh. We then found ourselves in a museum that resembled Eureka. After a funny look from the French ticket man, and about half an hour into the museum with small people running around our feet, it slowly dawned on us that this WAS a museum for children and was indeed the French version of Eureka. Needless to say, we quite enjoyed the stuffed Camels and Polar Bears and learnt some facts about the moon, which you never know when you'll need...Feeling brave we tried Snails for lunch, which were surprisingly really, really good and then later in the afternoon we went right to the top of The Eiffel Tower and watched the sun go down over the city.

Day 3: Another early morning ready with our tourist tools: map + camera + geeky rucksack. We passed the famous Opera and walked past The Ritz Paris whilst ogling in the windows of Chanel (well I did, whilst my boyfriend practically tugged my arm off). After all the morning sightseeing we finally found the Louvre, which I'll be honest was great at first, but the pure size of the place & the amount of statues, even we got a bit tired & silly near the end of the day = cue immature headless statue pictures.

Day 4: On the last day we decided to hunt down The Notre Dame. Inside was beautiful and the atmosphere was incredible. We went up top and into the Bell Tower where all the (Disney famous) stones gargoyles sat looking over Paris. I'll be honest, climbing up about 500 spiral stone steps really takes it out of you, so we just hung around the bistros and took some photos on the river, before the long trek back to our Hotel. Then we ended our lovely trip with a famous Parisian delicacy...Dominos Pizza.
