360. Paris | Snapshots

I decided to go to Paris for several days at the end of my trip to London, right before coming back to Toronto. As many of you probably know already, Paris is my favourite city in the world. I always feel like I'm in a dream when I'm there. & I never want to leave. I miss it a lot now when I look through these photos. It's also impossible to take a bad photo there..the entire city is just so beautiful! Here's some random shots:













I was so excited to have found these! Saw them in a shop window right before meeting a friend for lunch, then went back immediately to buy them afterwards. I LOVE the balloon dogs by Jeff Koons. These are obviously not originals but will do for now. This photo was taken on my hotel room balcony.




Sadaharu Aoki is one of my favourite patisseries. I visited last time in Paris as well (& posted about it here)

303. Lucerne + Zurich

Before I leave for NYC, I'm going to try to post as much as I can of the remainder of my Europe photos from this summer. Keyword here is try. I can't believe Christmas is merely a few days away!! Not prepared for it yet and certainly not in the spirit of it either. We still haven't gotten any snow and I haven't gotten any Christmas shopping done yet.

Here are some photos from my short stay in Switzerland back in May.


That was my second time visiting Lucerne. I will always remember the feeling I got when I saw this bridge in person for the first time ever. When I was really young, I saw a photo of it in a travel brochure. I think I cut it out and tried to draw it too. At first I had no idea where it was but I always thought it represented a quintessential little European town. Then when I visited Lucerne for the first time, I was aimlessly wandering when I turned the corner to find it right in front of me. It's one of those incredible feelings - seeing something in person that you originally thought only existed in photos. That's probably why I decided to return to Lucerne again this summer (because to be honest, as pretty as it is there's not a whole lot to do in this city..at least not enough to justify my going twice in a span of 5 years)


There's my hotel - "Balances". Will do a review on it soon.




Vandalizing Kapellbrucke. Anyone heading there soon? Let me know if it's still there!


Zurich!



Of course I had to drop by LV. It's nice and large here!


Another favourite brand - Breguet. Though I'm still waiting on my first..



I love all the boutiques here - huge selections & everyone is so well-dressed.


Strolling beside the lake. I only spent about half a day in Zurich; half of that time I was eating/people-watching in Sprungli.


Next destination: Paris! (via Basel)


Shameless self-promotion + food at the Basel train station


More self-promotion. (If you don't know: I love to scatter mini blog business cards all over the places I travel to)
