My summer trip to Paris may have come to an end, but I’m still daydreaming about those beautiful Parisian days…
Starting the morning with a double espresso and a perfectly flaky croissant at Café de Flore is, of course, a must. People-watching here is even better than having a front-row seat at Fashion Week, and it’s one of my favourite places to sketch.
There’s something so special about slowing down, taking in the world around me, and letting my imagination wander. It’s the perfect way to unwind, recharge, and find inspiration.
And while croissants were certainly a favourite, they weren’t the only highlight… Discover the rest of my Parisian summer favourites on the blog!
1. FAVOURITE OUTFIT
There is simply nothing quite like Paris in the Summer, especially when the sun is setting and the lights of the Eiffel Tower come to life and sparkle against the evening sky! As Paris twinkled around me, I leaned into the magic in this exquisite peach dress from Needle & Thread. Every detail is simply beautiful, and I’m completely obsessed with it.
2. FAVOURITE BAG
This white Versace crossbody bag was my Summer companion, swinging gently by my side as I roamed the streets of Paris day and night!
3. FAVOURITE SCENT
The Chloé Eau de Parfum is one of my staple perfumes, and this year it was my scent of Summer! There is something so beautiful about it that I love–it’s floral and fruity, and it feels so fresh on those hot days but goes perfectly into the evening as well.
4. LISTENING TO
Holidays can make you feel nostalgic, so this trip I queued up Janet Jackson’s iconic Janet album, the perfect backdrop for getting ready before heading out for a delicious Parisian dinner!
5. DINING
When the weather is warm, all you want to do is slow down and savour the moment. And there is nothing quite like gathering fresh bread, beautiful cheeses and seasonal fruit, accompanied by a bottle of perfectly chilled French Rosé. Finding a little spot along the Seine as the sky turned the most dreamy shade of pink was the perfect way to end a busy day of sightseeing—a moment to simply pause, unwind and soak up the magic of Paris.
