A Day Out in Style

My whole week just did a total u-turn! Well, my annoncement from yesterday is that William has FINALLY gone off on his ski trip. I cannot believe I'm actually pleased to have crazy Caroline back in residence full-time, but William was starting to get really demanding and IN THE WAY, and seriously I was thinking of packing my bags. But obviously he was the first one to do that, so my bags remain un-packed. Which is just as well! 

This morning I missioned it over to Place Vendome - one of my favourite areas of Paris purely because it is the area of all designer shops including Chanel's flagship store, Dior, Prada and my darling Marc Jacobs, as well as many of the Grand Hotels of Paris, such as The Ritz (Kate Moss stayed there last week) and Le Meurice. Where Angelina Jolie stays on her visits to Paris. Love love love! My Granny and Aunt are staying at No. 1 Place Vendome, at Hotel Vendome. I felt like a celebrity walking in - they were all expecting me, and greeted me with caring smiles (I don't care how much they are paid to smile!) and immediately took me up to the restaurant. And OMG. The restaurant area is my future living room. Seriously. WOWZA. Pictures pictures pictures! We were the only ones there which made it even more exclusive! And they had the best bookcase EVER with rows of fashin books. Dior, Tom Ford, Fashion History...

 

  

 

 

Then we took a trip down to Musee Rodin, which I actually really enjoyed! There were several sculptures I loved, and I also discovered that a gorgeous framed photo/poster I have in my room is of a Rodin Sculpture. So it was amazing. And Jen kept asking me LOVELY questions about it if i could have any sculpture, which one would I have, and when I'm rich where would I live in Paris (definitely Place Vendome - above Chanel! - or at least in the square). Good questions, good questions. :D


Then in afternoon I made my way over to Gare Du Nord to meet Rosie! Finally!! :) We made it home, she met Thelma and BONDED WITH THE DOG (No no no - it may actually start to come near me again!) and then we headed back out for une nuit à Paris. 


We arrived at the Institut du Monde Arabe for my Uncle's art exhibition which was very successful, and managed to persuade a security guard for a trip up to the rooftop to see the Parisian Skyline. Welcome to Paris, Rosie! :)
