? & Other Stories opens its new store on Rue St- Honore, Paris a few months ago.? The long-awaited brand from the folks behind H&M has a lot of accessories and spreads out over two floors. These photos of the?interiors?seriously don't do justice to the feel of the store once you're inside. We were so excited by the quality of their accessories! ?Their ?shoes are a diverse selection ranging from comfort, fashion to extravagant and great prices as well; many under 70 Euro[...]
We recently spent the afternoon shopping for the little tiger - and one of my favorite shops for kids in Paris is Bonton. They are divided on three floors and have tons of funky stuff for babies (0- 12 yrs old) up to pre-teens: clothes, accessories, food, homewares, books, suitcases, furniture, decor items etc... It's a fun destination.?We kind of go crazy for all the candy.?Our favorite part is the automatic photo booth! Bonton comes from the same people who gave us multi space shop[...]
If you're new to the city you might be wondering where to find a Halloween costume shop in Paris this October. Or a fancy dress generic cialis shop as it's referred to by my British friends.

Discovered a few months ago when they opened, after riding to Cafe Pinson one day. I decided to come back for a closer look at th[...]
If you're ever in the 18th arrondisment - near the metro Max Dormoy you must take the time to walk around in a part of Paris that still has an old soul. Marche d'Olive is one of my favorite places to food shop on a sunday morning (they are closed in Sunday afternoons and on Mondays). On first glance you might find this area noisy and dirty and somewhat not as "sexy" as say Rue St. Honore, but this little corner of Paris is "real". I just love walking into this covered market and seeing a[...]
THRIFT SHOPPING AT PORTE DE VANVES Porte de Vanves has one of Paris Best flea markets, it's a medium sized treasure chest mix of bargain and antique items. If you're visiting Paris and want to go to a local flea market here you've no doubt heard of Marche aux Puce St. Ouen at Porte de Cliancourt - but today I want to share with you another flea market - it's a smaller less popular flea market in the south of Paris 14th arrondissement called Marche aux Puce de la Porte de Vanves.
