Hey my lovebirds. I hope all is well for you. I'm trying to get back into blogging. It has not been easy. Time flies. It goes by so quickly. I always have a million things to do and so little time... However, I'm trying to stuck to this one blogpost per week schedule. It's all I can manage... - For now, hopefully!

Anyhow, I'm back with a small photo diary. I went to Paris for the new year. I spent the new year weekend there. It was sooooo freaking cold. I don't think I've ever felt that cold in my life. I was freezing. Nonetheless, it was beautiful city. If you follow me on snapchat, you probably saw how beautiful and vibrant it was. However, I've made a note to self : never go to Paris in the wintertime. I would also like to give a shot out to all those girls wearing no tights and sandals on New Year Eve... in -10 degrees Paris. YOU GO GIRLS! I have all the respect in the world for those fearless girls... I was cold for you, my darlings, with my cashmere tights... What we do for our love of fashion...

P.S I'm pretty sure I've eaten for - and maybe - all of us during this short weekend. #foodcoma

Thank you for reading and I'll see you soon ♥ x

Hello my lovebirds! I'm trying something new today. I decided to do a little guide for you. I'll share my travel tips. It's probably nothing new. It's probably some tings you do... Nonetheless, you might find out something useful. We never know, do we?! Without further due here are my travel tips :

◈ BOOK EARLY.
Booking your flight early can help you save up money. I find that booking my flight from a year to six/seven week prior to the intended date can be cheaper! Flights tend to be cheaper when booked early.

◈ AIRBNB IS YOUR FRIEND.
I've recently grown quite found of Airbnb. It's cheaper than an hotel room and you can meet some lovely people as well! It's also a good way to explore the city while 'sort of living there'. You will almost feel like a local. Besides, you can cook your own food.

◈ TRAVEL LIGHT.
Travel light is key. I also roll up my clothes so they don't take too much space and only carry the bare minimals. Why? Nobody likes carrying an heavy bag or not being able to bring back as much stuff as you want from your trip. I always carry an heavier suitcase on my way back home ahaha

◈ GOOD SHOES AND CHEAP FOOD ARE YOUR BESTFRIENDS.
You're obviously going to walk a lot - especially if you're on a budget. So you will need a good and comfy pair of shoes. You should probably forget about those killer heels or only wear them on a night out! I would also eating cheap food instead of healthy food. You can always get back on your diet when you get back. A few cheat days won't kill you! - Well, probably not straight away ahahah.

Do you have any traveling tips ? Thanks for reading and I will see on you on Sunday ♥


Coucou mes lovebirds! J'essaie quelque chose de nouveau aujourd'hui. J'ai décidé de réaliser une sorte de petit guide pour vous. Dans celui-ci je partage avec vous mes astuces concernant les voyages. Ce n'est rien de très fantastique mais qui sait vous pourriez peut-être trouver quelque chose d'utile... Qui sait! Sans plus attendre, voici mes astuces :


◈ RÉSERVEZ EN AVANCE.
Réserver en avance peut permettre une réelle économie. Je dirais qu'il faut réserver au mieux 1 an avant et au plus tard 6/7 semaines avant votre voyage. Les vols sont bien souvent moins chers dans ces moments là.

◈ AIRBNB EST TON AMI.
Récemment, je suis devenue accro à ce site. Les logements proposés sont souvent moins chers que les hôtels et c'est beaucoup plus pratique de pouvoir se faire à manger et de vivre dans un logement. C'est également une autre façon de découvrir une ville. Vous pouvez prétendre être un habitant, ahaha.

◈ VOYAGEZ LÉGER.
S'il y a quelque chose que j'ai rapidement appris, cela est qu'il est important de voyager léger. Pourquoi ? Premièrement car cela va être bien trop lourd et vous allez regretter avoir à porter ce poids. De plus, vous n'avez sûrement pas besoin de tout ça! Et enfin, ma raison préférée est que vous aurez de place pour ramener plein de choses!

◈ UNE BONNE PAIRE DE CHAUSSURES ET LES FASTFOODS SONT TES MEILLEURS AMIS .
Si vous souhaitez économiser, vous aller très peu prendre les transports en commun. De ce fait, vous allez marcher. Et par conséquent, il vous faudra une paire de chaussures dans laquelle vous êtes bien! Par ailleurs, manger équilibré coûte de l'argent malheureusement et bien souvent les fastfood sont une alternative bien plus facile et plus légère pour le porte-feuille.

Avez-vous des conseils concernant les voyages? Merci pour votre lecture et on se retrouve dimanche ♥

Heeey lovelies! As you might know, a few weeks ago, I spent a weekend in Amsterdam. It was really nice. I got to discover Amsterdam. I had never been to Netherlands or even Amsterdam. Actually, I had never been to any country where I didn't speak the language. It was sooo unsettling. No matter how hard I would focus, I couldn't make up even one word that would make any sense. I can understand English, French, Spanish and Italian but also a few words of German and Russian. However, in that case, it was no help. Anyway, fortunately, most people in Amsterdam seem to speak fluent English. (hooray!) I've to admit, it was such a relief.


We had such a beautiful weekend. It was sunny and very clear. Sadly, Amsterdam was crowded that weekend. People were everywhere and so were raging bicycles. I couldn't believe it. Honestly, I even thought of burning a bike as soon as I got home - in honour of Amsterdam, of course. Joke aside, it definitely was absolutely frantic!

We decided to stay in an airbnb. Our host was absolutely delightful and his flat was sooo stylish! We ate local food and probably gained about 200 pounds in only one weekend - but well, food is life. In fact, we went twice to the same café - we kinda fell in love with their pastries! We did two museums : the Van Gogh and Rijks museums - I was advised by lovely people. I agree with everybody else. If you're there, check them out! I'm very fond of Rijksmuseum!
We walked around Amsterdam. I met a very nice Makeup Artist from the Charlotte Tilburry's counter at Bijenkorf. André was sooo talented and taught me valuable things! I'm soo thankful! It was definitely worth the wait... Consequently, I wanted to buy a few bits and bobs from Charlotte Tilburry but a lot of their products were sold out. Lucky me!


This little trip was a good trip but it was also sooo exhausting. It took me about 2 days to recover ahahahahaha I'm sooo glad I got the chance to go somewhere I didn't know. I'm so happy I discovered a new culture and city. I learnt a lot in just 2 days and a half. I wouldn't give it up for the world. I was asked several times if I entend to go back there... Honestly, I don't know. Probably not, Amsterdam was a bit too hectic for me...


I hope you enjoyed this photo diary :) It's always a pleasure sharing my days with you!
I was thinking of doing some sort of Vlog of my trip, would you be interested in seeing that? :)
I will see you soon and thanks for reading. ♥
