Dr. Seuss' The Lorax is everywhere these days (even in Central Park!). I'm a sucker for "different" sneakers, and this collection of Lorax themed Converse are so fun! 

The majority of my wardrobe is black, white and gray (I packed an entirely black and white wardrobe for Paris in September). I love making an outfit pop with eye-catching accessories, and a recent trip to ALDO Shoes had me coveting an awful lot of neon yellow:

1. Mease Pumps ($80); 2. Oginski Clutch ($45);  3. Hipps Handbag ($55); 4. Benejan Bracelet ($12); 5. Hord Handbag ($35); 6. Brimfield Wedge ($90)

Another fabulous (and exhausting) day! I walked from my apartment in the 1st arrondisement all the way to Sacre-Coeur, stopping all along my route to shop and snap photos. What a view from the top! It was well worth the climb. 

I walked all around Montmartre-- what a beautiful place! The narrow streets, the creperies, sidewalk cafes, street artists... I loved it. I got a crepe and a soda and just sat on a curb soaking up the view. I really am smitten with Paris.

I also saw quite a few of Invader's pieces along my travels today-- I was amped!

I stopped home to drop off all of my bags and to write on the lock that I bought this morning. Yesterday I saw all of the locks on the bridge to Ile Saint-Louis and wanted to add my own. Couples write their names or initials on the padlocks, then either toss the key into the Seine as a sign of undying love, or keep the key to unlock it next time they're in Paris. I bought a lock today that came with 3 keys-- perfection! I wrote our initials on it, locked it to the bridge facing Notre Dame, and dropped one of the keys in the river. I have 2 keys left, one for me and I'll give one to my bf when I get home. <3

After adding my lock to the bridge, I kept walking over to Ile Saint-Louis. I had heard that Berthillon ice cream was the best in Paris. I got a cone and walked back along the Seine, snapping some pictures of Paris la nuit.

Bonne nuit! x

I landed in London at 9am local time after 3 hours of sleep and still on NYC time of 4am. I found my apartment in Brixton with some help from my hostess, who picked me up at the train station. I little sprucing up and I was back out the door to take in all I could of London, since I'm only here for two days. I was feeling very tired and overwhelmed, so my first mission was to find Johnny Cupcakes' London store. The people working there were rad and I picked up a London exclusive shirt-- a tea cup, natch.

I did a double-decker bus tour, which wound up being a really fab way to see all of the main attractions in a short time. Plus I got to stake out places that I wanted to spend more time exploring tomorrow. Saw London Bridge, Big Ben, Kensington Palace, Somerset House, the London Eye... plus all kinds of art and monuments-- including Eros. 

Bags are packed, my kitties are in good hands, and I'm outta here! I'll be in London and Paris til next Saturday-- lots of posts and pics to come! xo
