My 21st in Paris: My Photo Diary

Wednesday, 9 January 2013



























































While the rest of my family and friends were maniacally purchasing Christmas gifts, I was lucky enough to be heading to Paris thanks to my very thoughtful boyfriend. I must apologise for this delayed post (again) but I've compiled some of my favourite pictures from the trip. We arrived in Paris on the 17th of December and the beautiful hotel that we stayed in was around a minutes walk to the Eiffel Tower. Bliss.
As this was both our first trip to Paris, we decided to do all the touristy stuff and visit the historical Cathedrals, museums and other spots in the city.
I must apologise for the poor quality as we only had our iPhone cameras, but I hope you can still soak in some of our amazing experiences through the pictures.

    Lovely to join you on your 21st! Congrats! I'm quite jealous that you got to have Parisian macaroons too. I have never tasted one before and I hear they are heavenly! ;-)
    Thank you for visiting my blog. ;-)

      Aw thank you :) That was the first time I've ever tried macaroons so I won't be able to tell the difference until I try the others ;) I can't wait, but the ones I have tried tasted like little drops of heaven.
      Thank you for following me too, that's really sweet of you. I shall do the same :) xx

    what a lovely post and what a lovely boyfriend you have! it was really fun to look through all of these photos and this just proves you do not always need to bring a big fancy camera along because these photos with instagram came out really wonderfully and definitely get a feel for your time in paris! the photos of you are also super cute - love your dimples!
