Bienvenue à Paris!

Bienvenue à Paris (12)

Oh, Paris! How I’ve missed you! My mom and I flew to Paris the day after my shoot for Mango wrapped up. This city holds a special place in my heart after having spent 4 months here during my Junior term abroad. I really could not contain my excitement coming back! I swear! I love everything about this place (except for the early closing hours of establishments and closed shops and restaurants on Sundays), even the people! Contrary to popular belief, the French are not at all rude, at least in my opinion. I can go on and on telling stories about how friendly and helpful they are but I might just bore you.

So anyway, photos time! I didn’t take much touristy photos though because our trip to Paris was more of a shopping trip. I’ve already absorbed so much of their tourist spots back then as a student so this time, I wanted to experience more of the shopping. Although I was able to squeeze in a photo op with The Louvre as my background for my outfit shots! Yay!

Bienvenue à Paris (11)

I remember when I first stepped foot here back in 2007, definitely the biggest museum I’ve ever visited! One day is not enough!

While taking these outfit shots, there were quite a number of people staring at me, probably wondering what on Earth I’m doing haha! I felt so embarrassed! But what the hey, I’m already here, might as well make the most out of it! They were probably just distracted by my extra loud outfit anyway. At least, I got extra plenty complements on it. *blushes* The best was while walking down Rue De Rivoli, there were a couple of guys on the street who kept telling me over and over again, “very nice fashion!” They really went out of there way just to make sure I heard them haha! And in English!

    Hi. I just started reading your blog. Not sure is someone commented this already. Your wearing the same jacket as Jesse J in her MV Domino. I knew I’ve seen that jacket before! (I read your blog first before I saw the MV, btw.) :)

    You can use a dry brush (toothbrush, if you want) to clean your suede shoes. :) Afterwards, it’ll be good as new. ♥

    Whatta great way to celebrate your birthday too huh?
    Lemme greet you again too. Heppy Birthdayz! (^_^)

    I remember when I went there in 2003. I was a student pa, representing my school in a student conference in Germany. Feeling fashionista ako nun waaaahhh. I had no money to enter the museum so puro picture lang sa labas hehehe. 10 Euros na nun ang entrance waaaahh. I’m sooo poor. LOLZ.

    Take care always! Enjoy the rest of your stay. And yes, very nice fashion! (^_^)

    hey miss camille! i was the one who told you i wished we could have a picture together just like my twin sister when she saw you in a mall.

    anyway… ive always loved printed pants and those wide legged pants that is somehow see-through, in a way or so. I have one each and my problem now is that i cant wear them for i do not know what shirt or blouse to pair them with. Everytime i try to mix and match, i end up looking like i am going to bed, like im wearing pajamas. :(

    Help? Thank you!

    And One more thing, i message you in instagram. Tha Louvre reminds me of dan brown and davinci code. I love that novel and seeing you there in that exact place is just fascinating!!!

    Thanks again!!!

    • itscamilleco

      Hello Genny! How about a breezy tank top? :) In times like these, try searching online or in magazines for inspiration then slowly experiment. :) And yes, I got your message on Instagram! It reminds me of Dan Brown too!

        Miss Camille, i tried something weird. print on print. I tagged you on Instagram for you are really an inspiration to me. And because I am also a high school teacher who still wants to look great at 23!

        Thanks miss Camille!

      Thanks Emily! It’s not flawless! I just make sure to cleanse my face 2x a day and put the necessary creams :) I also try to have cleaning at the derma every month or 2. As for my hair, I’m not sure what color it is but if it helps, I go to Park Jun Salon for coloring.
