Le gai Paris!

Our tiny (perfect) little apartment!
I was fortunate enough to spend a few days in the beautiful city of Paris at the start of this year, so I thought I'd write a little post on the adventure!

I actually managed to get very cheap (£60 return) plane tickets with EasyJet, which worked out as quicker and cheaper then taking the Eurostar! My boyfriend and I stayed in a lovely little apartment a five minute walk away from Notre-Dame and packed as much as we could into the three(ish) days we were there. 


The first thing we did was go and look at the Eiffel Tower (#tourists). We'd both been up it before, and were planning on climbing the Arch de Triumphe, so decided to save on the entry tickets and instead had our first crêpes of the trip. We didn't actually manage to make it up the Arch either, because it was so foggy the entire time we were there that it probably wouldn't have been w
orth it.

Shoe review: Drench 'em.


One thing about getting a dog is that you (quickly) learn that you're going to need a better pair of Wellington boots than the ones you picked up in the Topshop sale for £12 two years ago. Granted, I do have the trusty bogey-green pair that have somehow managed to fit me for the last ten years, but my mothers commandeered those recently. Luckily, I was perusing the Dr. Martens sale the other day (yes I'm waiting for you Molly/Holly) and saw that their "Drench" style - aka Doc wellies - were in the sale for £40! Jumping right on that, I ordered a pair in matte purple, just to be on the jazzy side of things.They came a couple of weeks ago, and even though I had time to Instagram them fresh out of the box, I haven't (/still don't, really) had time to write a proper post.
