Here are some photos from my one-day journey to Paris last Spring. :) (click to make them larger)


The cosmopolitan outfit I wore to France

argyle cardigan - Esprit (Germany)
dress and leggings - market in London
(I didn't bring any other shoes besides converse, so I had to wear those, but they didn't look as bad with the outfit as I thought they would!)


Notre Dame Cathedral
I think Parisians are somewhat easily fascinated. These two other guys that were in my travel group always hackey sacked on the streets and passerby-er's would "ooo!" and "ahhh!" like they'd never seen people hackey sack before! It was so funny! I wish we would've put a hat out or something; I know they would've gave money to us.

And this lady was just standing in front of the Notre Dame Cathedral and people were so enthralled! I think my friends hackey sacking was much more entertaining than this lady...




Waitress (lady below).


This was a beef paste sorta thing. It sounds kinda gross, but holy gaucamole, it was phenomal!!! The French know good food.




An hour at the Louvre:




Viva la vida!


Napoleon's Coronation was my favorite of all the paintings -that I got to see- in the Louvre. I saw it in my textbook before, but seeing it eye to eye in real life was amazing. The grandeur of ever brush stroke is just genius. I love everything about this painting.

People pics:


Rockin' the Burberry (I don't think she was French though, judging from her accent when she walked by. Probably Italian?)


The guy on the very left was part of my travel group who always hackey sacked as I mentioned earlier. The rest of the guys asked him to take a picture of them. I wish I had sneaked a photo when they posed together; they were so gorgeous!! xD

This lady was so pretty (and French), I had to snap a shot. She seemed very sad for some reason though...

Until next time Paris!Check out this link and you can see France for yourself from your computer screen.

French Fashion: them Frenchies and their stripes

Song(s) of the moment -
BB Brunes - Lalalalove You (#2 on my playlist to the right. My French friend introduced me to it)
&
The Count's Real Song

This video has cracked me up all week. It's a bit inappropriate, but I almost gaurantee you will laugh... out loud! I've shared it with about 10 of my friends because it was so hilarious. WATCH IT! ;)
