Très Chic Style Bits #11 | my trip to Paris..... what I wore.... third day....

I’ve been thinking about our Link Up Party and realized that everyone who make the effort to link needed, besides the exposure gained for whatever you've been working on, to be featured in some way.

So, starting from now, I'll be pinning and sharing links throughout the week to my Très Chic Style Bits board on Pinterest!

I’m also thinking about doing something in Google +, but I’m not sure if it’s going to work, so we’ll see…. :)

Oh…. and it will be live until every Saturday.

As some of you know, last September I made a trip to Paris and I started a serial posts about it, but never ended it.

If you’re interested about it, you can read here and here.

So on third day it was again time for celebration. It was Brother-in-law’s Birthday and we celebrated it. Another unforgettable day…..

My trip to Paris..... what I wore.... second day....

As Ernest Hemingway wrote in his book “A Moveable Feast”, "... then wherever you go for the rest of your life, it stays with you, for Paris is a moveable feast.”

C’est la fête……

And our second day in Paris was a day to celebrate!!! September 19th is Sister’s Birthday and we celebrated it.

What an unforgettable day…..

We started going to the “Basilica of the Sacré Cœur”, where we saw a beautiful view all over Paris and also the very interesting Basilica.

We walked through Montmartre where I loved being at “Place du Tertre”, with all those artists and crafts.

I had a portrait made by one of the street artists and I like it very much.

At Montmartre I ate a “cheese crepe” and it was yummy.

“Pigalle” with many sex shops was fun and of course we had to stop at “Moulin Rouge”.

After that we turned to Eiffel Tower, where we took so many pictures that it’s so difficult to choose the best.

In one of the “Bateaux Mouches”, a large white boat with bright orange seats, we made a relaxing and practical way to view the sights of Paris in all their grandeur, a Seine River Cruise.

After that we went to the Hotel, to prepare ourselves for a nice dinner in a pleasant restaurant, where we ended the Sister’s Birthday celebrations. (I don’t show any picture of this because I haven’t any alone).

And here it is what I wore on my second day in Paris:

Red flat ankle boots

Black jacquard pants

Black and white stripped button down shirt

Fushia blazer

  Red and white printed scarf

Colour block bag (black, ochre, cream and yellow)

Well, now I will jump to third day….. on another time. :)

My trip to Paris..... what I wore.... first day....

Spring/Summer 2014 Paris Fashion Week would be on the next week. But what moved me to go to Paris in that particular week (September 17 to 21) was a way far from anything Fashion related.

When Sister called me and said she would be traveling, with her husband, to the Island on holidays and would spend her Birthday here, I knew I had to do something. Sister always dreamed to go visit Paris, even more than I.

So what a better place to celebrate her Birthday than Paris????

Then I started to press everyone and it came true all the preparations to go on our trip to Paris.

When the time came to pack, we checked the weather forecast and it wasn’t very good. We should be prepared for all kind of weather. But it’s something that we, living on the Island of “four seasons in a day”, are more or less used to. The only thing we had to be very careful was with the shoes. Paris is a city to walk, so flats and shoes that are broken in are a must.

And then our adventure trip of four days in Paris began. Such a WOW trip.

Since I was focused on having a good time, visiting the most we could and enjoying Paris, I didn’t take any pictures with the purpose of showing my outfits better.

So I will show you the pieces of the look and then some pictures in it, that give you a perception how I looked.

Our hotel was in the middle of “Quartier Latin”, near La Sorbonne and Les Jardins de Luxembourg.
We arrived latter night on September 17th.

The first day (September 18th) we started going to the Arc of Triumph and then walked through the Champs Elisée.

Next “Grands Magasins du Printemps”, “Galeries Lafayette “ and ‘’L’Opéra ‘’.

On the way to Place the La Concorde and just before we stopped to lunch, it started to rain. It was our “rainy” day.

Here is what I wore on my first day in Paris:

Black moccasins

Grey jacquard pants

Berry shirt

Forest green blazer

Printed scarf

Colour block bag (black, ochre, cream and yellow)

The first Parisian bridge where love gets 'locked' forever was Pont des Arts...... now it's so full that other bridges are being used...... I know the Parisians don’t like it, but I think it’s so lovely that I clamped a padlock on a bridge..........

(My hair was a mess with the wind and rain we got that day)

On second day….. well, second day will be for another time. I’ll be back…… until then :)
