Givenchy

One of, in my opinion most beautiful streets (sorry avenues) in Paris is Avenue Montaigne. 

It is just such a pretty avenue, tree lined and so beautifully manicured.

It is home to all top luxury brand boutiques. 

The most recent addition to this line up is one of my favourite brands, Givenchy! 

Located at number 36 Avenue Montaigne the 370 metre-square has been 

designed by architect Joseph Dirand. 

As French Vogue describes it :

"darkly romantic with a hint of elegant aristocracy, embodying the French brand's

signature style to perfection"

 

The flagship store consists of two floors dedicated solely to womenswear. 

Only the highest quality materials have been used - green veined Breccia Verde Carrara marble, 

polished steel, golden tinted brass, solid oak floors and grey volcanic rock.

 

I cannot wait to visit here when I am in Paris next year, and I might just buy
 my wishlist Givenchy bag as a momento of my visit.

Time for a holiday ...

Very excited as this week I confirmed that I'm heading off on holidays.

I travel quite a bit, but it us usually for work. 

But this holiday is for just pure pleasure and relaxation.

In September I'll meet up with a friend in Paris for a few days and 

then we will head off to Mykonos.

 

 

I've been to Paris before but have been craving to head back again and
Mykonos, I've never been but always wanted too.

I cannot wait to spend my days by the pool drinking cocktails 

and wandering endlessly through the beautiful town of Mykonos. 

 

 

Naturally the travel itself is unbelievably fun but gosh so is the planning ...
LOVE the planning process!

Makes working so hard day to day all so worth it !!

If I lived in Paris ......

My apartment would look like this on the outside

The entrance to greet you

This would be the view from my office as a I blog away

The perfect outfit to get around Paris in

On this

One of the living spaces would look like this

and the other like this


I would finally get my little French Bulldog

This is what one bedroom would look like

And the other one would look like this,
I would alternate nights just so I could sleep in both!

This is where I would pamper myself

Paris, je t'aime

One of my very special friends is off to beautiful Paris on Thursday and I am unbelievably excited for her. I love hearing of people's travel to this amazing city as it takes me back to my own travels there.

You just can't help but sigh at the thought......
Everytime I think of my trip to Paris I can't help but smile and get an excited feeling in my tummy. It is the city to just walk and explore and walk and explore. The buildings are beautiful, the people are beautiful, the food is beautiful, the shopping is beautiful oh I could go on............

Val, I know you will have an amazing time, enjoy every single second, take everything in and I can't wait to hear all about it when you return.

Bon voyage xx
