How about a little break to Paris?

Think of three places you might visit in Paris. Easy. Now, think of three things you might visit in Paris excluding the Eiffel Tower, the Arc De Triomphe and the Champs Élysées. Not so easy, right?

Take a look at the places we’ve found and see what happened when we took 15 fashion bloggers on a fashion themed day to Paris recently. As well as the shopping there’s so much going on in Paris, the hardest part is just deciding where to go.

Let us know about your trip and help our other readers plan their little breaks away. Sandrine

But they give boats shows an element of grandeur. They also give the organisers an element of risk. I have never been as terrified, as when, age 7, I started the engine on one of the boats at the London Boat Show which wasn’t in the water and almost burnt out the engine. The way I was shouted at by the employees should have been... [Read more]
