One more thing from Paris.

While I was in Paris I decided that me and Daniel had to participate in the Swedish Hasbeens competition... and I tried to come up with a great idea. We decided to paint our feet with our favorite unisex swedish hasbeens. This is the process and the result. So please go in here and vote for our photo!

TIME FOR HOLIDAY IN PARIS

After our press days I had some nice holiday in Paris coming up. My days contained of relaxing, walking around and eating nice food. I really enjoy being in Paris again, just hate that I don't know the language... but maybe I learn.. one day.

The train station where I spend a lot of time now a days. 


Walking around in Paris and Louvren.
Bread, cheese and wine evening.

Baking Chocolat/Cheesecake brownie. This is the before picture...

... and the after picture. It tasted amazing.



Spending the whole day at IKEA, which is always exciting!


Since we didn't eat the meatballs at IKEA we had to make our own that evening.

Next day, Tuesday 1st November did me and Daniel celebrate our 1 year anniversary so we had a luxury dinner at The Pershing Hall. It was the best dinner I've ever had and the best surroundings. Amazing night.



When Daniel was working and I was on my own  did I go for a long walk around in Paris. Here along a canal in the 10th district. 


The old men playing boule.



Promenade Plantée in Paris. The garden up and above everything.





Coffee break at Starbucks.


The Isabelle boat. Maybe not the most beautiful of them all in the harbour but I bet it
is the most beautiful on the inside :P

It is soooo beautiful in Paris.



End of my walk. See you soon Paris.

Last week was intense but FUN!

After being ill for four days I was back at work preparing for our press days! Below are some pics from these days. 

Breakfast!!! Mums

Cinnamon buns everywhere

Me and Bob hanging out. (But Bob doesn't look very comfortable...)




Post-press days. Tove relaxing with mannequin and FINSK shoes.

By the end of the day I join Bob on the floor to get some rest.

My Weekend

 I spent Saturday on Broadway Market with my sister. It was the most amazing day with coffee, brownie and sunshine! The coffee came from the market where you could choose between a lot of different roasts. It was sooo good, much better than Pret coffee. Then we sat by the canal watching a crazy dog trying to bite his own tail and the boats passing through.

My first time in Paris

Here are a selection of images from my visit in Paris between 29 September - 3 October. It was probably the last summer weekend, which was great since I haven't had any holiday this summer. I had the most amazing time and is very happy I'll be going back there a lot!

On my way to Daniels apartment

View from balcony! Amazing!


GALERIES LAFAYETTE

The most beautiful department store I've been to.

Roof top on Galeries Lafayette



Champ Élysées

Daniel outside of his new employer 


Eiffel tower by night

Chick woman on the streets of Paris

Of course did we have to go and see the Eiffel tower.   
The Eiffel tower was meant to be in the background... 

Breakfast on the balcony with  Starbucks and fresh baked bread. Mums!

Then baguette and eiffel tower. What Paris is all about :P

Me outside of Notre Dame




On Saturday night we went to Chez Janou in Marais. My friend recommended this restaurant because of its chocolate mouse desert. It was the most amazing french restaurant, hidden from the busiest streets. It is a very friendly restaurant were everyone talk to each other over the tables and were the waiters sing and dance while serving. If you are ever in Paris, go there!

Starter: Goat cheese salad

Main course: Beef with potato chips and béarnaise sauce

And then the amazing chocolate mouse where we could have as much as we wanted!




This is the only bridge in Paris where you are only aloud to walk and it is just by Louvren, Pont des Arts. Here you can lock you love with a padlock which symbolize eternal love and if you throw the key in the river it means that "we will always have Paris".

It's an amazing sight.

Marché aux Fleurs. We stopped by the flower market which also included birds.


And later we walked down to Jardin du Luxembourg. The most amazing park where the trees are perfectly planted in rows and where every one is relaxing themselves. 

Palais du Luxembourg

Relaxing in the sun! Probably for the last time this summer.

Bye bye Paris for this time. See you again 29th October!
