When I was in France during my student exchange program back in 2007, I was never the leader when it comes to our itinerary. Our group was fortunate enough to have that 1 person who’d always be in charge of all our trips, which sights to see, what to look out for, etc. (He’s also the main reason why I never really bothered to improve my French. He was sort of our spokesperson haha!) So when I came back to Paris a few weeks ago, I had to ask him again which sights to visit. I remember reading about Jardin Du Luxembourg so I asked him if it was worth a visit. He said yes, so off I went!
Upon entering the place, I thought to myself, “why the hell did we never spend time here before?!” (Chi, if you’re reading this, WHY??!!) I was never really a fan of gardens and parks, but this one is just too beautiful! It’s such a nice place to relax, unwind, read a book or do whatever you want under the sun!
And by whatever you want, I mean take photos for ze blog. Har har.
Hype this look on Lookbook.nu here.
Mango Touch gold necklace
Ministry of Retail leather jacket
Bagelya By Ela leopard print clutch
Zara belt
Ministry of Retail skirt
Tutum boots
Can I just say, I’m so proud of mom! She’s now able to take candid photos of me haha! Here I am trying to take a photo for my Instagram.

Hi Ms. Camille! I know you’re tall and I was wondering what size is the jacket you’re wearing? I wanted to order and I measured my shoulders, it’s 41cm from tip to tip and I’m not sure if the large would fit..
Hi Jenny! I think I’m the smallest size :)

Amazing!!!! How come you have a slender body? youre so sexy!!! what do you do?
Thanks Princess! It really is so hard for me to gain because I have super fast metabolism. :) I guess I got it from my mom. :)
I envy your super fast metabolism Cams! So unfair of you. Bwahahaha. Does Chi know may special mention siya sa blog mo? I shall tell him later. Haha..
I don’t think so because Chi is not a supportive friend hahaha Mich! You’re so sexy already, what is there to be envious about?!!
Hi, Camille!
You always look so perfect and effortlessly chic! Your pictures are just as impeccable. I love browsing through your blog everyday, and my sister caught my fashion bug as well. She says she admires your outfits as much I do. ♥
Thanks so much Eden! :)
Lovely outfit! I’m in love with your top, skirt and shoes! <3
Also, your mothers pictures are really pretty!
Thanks Patrice! :)
Hi there! Cute outfit :) What lip product are you wearing here? to die for! :)
I think I’m wearing Topshop’s Ohh Lala :)
Hi Camille, may I know what camera settings do you usually use? And when you take photos of yourself, where is the camera angle (from down, up or just your height level)? What time do you usually take your pics?
How detailed! Haha! I use a Nikon D7000 in Manual mode, f1.8, ISO usually at 400. :) Camera angled up from below, so the photographer is sitting down. Time depends, usually before 6pm :)
hooorayy to your mom! that’s a pretty candid photo of you. I love ALL your photos, they are amazing, makes me dream of Paris **sigh** (wishing upon a star). Love your clutch :), it’s a perfect match for my newly re-invented animal printed blouse!!! Please check it out –>> http://www.ladysoda.com/fashion-and-you-2/diy-15-pesos-trendy-animal-print-blouse/
Excited for your next post!!
Thank you! My mom really is improving haha!
without being striking. =)
Hi. Classy blog! Btw, my way of clothing is always on the safe side, palaging white tops or any colors that can easily be paired with. Then I realized that dressing up needs a little risk. Any idea what colors go along with d other? Thank you =)
Thanks Cams! If you need help with colors, try the color wheel. It’s a good way to start. Complementary colors are always the easiest. :) Primary colors are also almost always perfect together and so are neutrals. :)
Thanks a lot! Ang sweet mo naman, lahat ng comment nirereplyan mo. Wala lang. Haha! Thaaaankkkksss. =)
It’s the least I can do! :)
Hi Ms. Camille!
Why do you always go to beautiful places like this? I’m jealous… It helps me though, I might visit Paris one day, go to Jardin Du Luxembourg and say “Oh! Camille shot there!”, “She sat here!”, “She Instagram-ed that!”. Haha.
Your outfits are always pretty, I get inspiration from you. And whenever we go out I try my best to look my best because I might meet you! Haha.
Keep posting amazing stuff. And are you sure you’re still trying to blog? Because you’re like a pro now, especially with the new look of the blog, super impressing!
Stay safe always! :D
Haha thanks Dana! I’m still trying! Everyday, I try my best to improve.:) Keep looking your best! You’ll never know who’s looking! :)
Aaahh! reading your blog and seeing your pictures makes me more excited
for my trip to Europe this May. :) is it still cold there? I know it’s spring already..and
I really wanna pack light to make room for shopping items. Haha. any suggestions?
Have a nice day and stay gorgeous! Bisous! x
It’ll be okay already by then, hopefully! :) Just to be safe pack light clothes you can layer. Enjoy Europe!

That leather jacket! Love it! Your get up looks like it has that grungy royal thing going. the ruffles and all.
What’s a humble peasant to do to garner the attention of ye fair lady.
Haha what a creative mind you have there! Now that you mentioned it, it does look like it! :)
Hi Camille, may i ask whats the best angle when taking outfit photos like yours? :-) You are pure awesomeness.
Have a nice week :-)
Ask your photographer to sit. :) The camera has to be lower than you and angled a bit upwards :)
We didn’t go there the last time we visited Paris… I will keep this in mind for our next visit :)
Medyo malamig pa din kahit April na! YAY! pretty pics :)
When we left, it was getting warmer na :)

I remember my days as a Candy girl, I used to buy every issue and see if you’re there!! Thanks to lookbook I found you and your blog. I’m so happy I’m still updated on your fashion posts even though I’m in London now! Keep blogging Camille! <3
Wow! Thank you! I’m so jealous that you’re based in London! I’ve been wanting to visit for so long!
You are so pretty Ms. Camille. I’m very thankful that i have found your blog. You inspire me so much. I wish you’ll never stop blogging. Take Care! :)
Thanks Elaine! I wish you’ll never stop reading my blog too!
Tutum is a scam. I ordered and paid and still, they haven’t delivered my order yet.
Let me ask them about it and follow up with them!
@Ana
Hi there. There must be some misunderstanding,
We’ve been receiving a lot of orders, and maybe we have overlooked your order.
Have you tried contacting us regarding your order?
Please reach us at tutumshop@yahoo.com with your full name and contact number,
so we can take the right action ASAP.
Thank you!
Nice pictures! Really loving this outfit :) <3
Thanks Johanne!
The park is too picturesque that I want to live in France right now, hahaha. XD The weather looks so fine, but judging from your leather jacket, it must be colder than it looks. @_@ :))
I love your outfit here, especially your white top! <3 Reminds me of the gowns in 18th Century England, and you totally pulled off a beautiful compromise between contemporary style and sophistication. You look so poised in that stolen (or was it not, haha!) shot. <3
Anyways, can't wait for your next blog posts! ^_^
It was stolen haha :) Thank you! I love how you described my outfit as a fusion of contemporary style and sophistication. Really, thank you! :) Every place in Paris is picturesque! :)
Such great photo’s! Love your oufit, I wish I could wear something like that here in the Philippines! =))

You’ve got a great view. You’re one of my fave fashion icons. Keep inspiring us.
Thanks Aira! :)

Hi camille, the pictures are really pretty. May I ask what camera you used to take these? Did you use any photo editing software to process your pictures before uploading them to your blog?
Thanks Aileen! :) I use a Nikon D7000 then Photoshop for editing :)
Awwww I miss my Euro-trip rin tuloy. 1st time 2003 and never again LOL. :p
Nadaan lang kaming mga students hehehehe. Mga poor lang waaah. LOLz. But I really enjoyed it too. I never reached this place though. It’s awesome! Hope I can visit it again in the future. (^_^) That time may money na ako heheheeh. So I can do more sight-seeing. Weeee!
Take care always! (^_^)
Haha but isn’t it so fun to travel as a student? I loved backpacking! I felt like we were part of Amazing Race haha!
I was in awe reading this. Paris is so beautiful and you are always look gorgeous. Can you put in me in your luggage on your next trip? hahaha
Hahaha! :) You might be too heavy for my luggage though! :) Thanks Katherine!
Whoa. The place looks amazing!! Great photos Camille. You look fantastic in your outfit. ♥
