So happy to be in Paris!! Paris was the place in Europe that I HAD to get to during my time here, without a doubt. While I have been traveling a lot and have sene so many famous monuments, the Eiffel Tower was the only one that met and beyond exceeded my expectations. The city was much larger than I had expected it to be and had such amazing architecture and details on all of the buildings lining the streets. We stayed in Paris for 4 days with all of my friends to celebrate my friend's 21st birthday.

The first full day in Paris we explored the Louve, the town of Montmartre, and the lovelock wall overlooking the city. It was rainy and cold so we all had to bundle up this day. I wore a blue leather jacket from Zara paired with black jeans also from Zara, living a block away from a 3 story tall Zara store has become dangerous for me...

The next day we got brunch at Cadette's with the famous hot chocolate and cream, saw the Eiffel Tower in the daylight, and visited the palace of Versaille. The palace of Versaille was also an amazing trip that I recommend to anyone visiting France. The building had numerous rooms with original furniture and wallpaper from Marie Antoinette's time and you get to see the extravagant lifestyle that the French royals lived in. This day I wore a black maxi dress with 3D floral details, a black tweed jacket from Mango, a black hair bow, and a black purse.

To be completely cheesy, Paris was absolutely magical. Getting to see the Eiffel Tower sparkle at night with all of my best friends was such a surreal experience that I will never forget.
