I woke up early this Saturday morning and strolled around the city by myself for a while. I got some gummy bears for breakfast and sat down at the fountain right by my apartment, yes I am eating gummy bears for breakfast in Paris. Then I headed into a few new boutiques that I had not been into yet. I am so happy I went into them because I think I found my 2 new favorite lines- hopefully I can find them somewhere back in Minneapolis! The first one I fell in love with was American Vintage, the fabrics were so soft and the quality of the pieces were very nice for the price. They used lots of pastels and overall the designs were just chic, ha. The next boutique had a line called Lauren Vidal Vintage it was a little pricey, but all of the designs were so romantic and flowy. I am definitely going to have to pick up one of her dresses before I leave! After my little shopping excursion we had a 5 hour feather making class, on a Saturday. The guy that taught the class is a feather specialist and a designer and works for YSL, Celine and other luxury companies. His name is Jean-Louis Pinabel and he was pretty easy to work with since he spoke English so well. Let's just say this.. you need lots of time and patience to make feather things.. it took me a few hours to make a hair clip!! To finish off my Saturday, some of the girls and I went to "Le Refuge Des Fondues" for dinner. On our way there we just happened to run into the Tour De France which was really cool to see, but I didn't get very good pictures! The dinner was quite the experience, very French. They serve wine in baby bottles and you sit at a table with everyone in the restaurant. It was a fun atmosphere and the area was very trendy and cool. We got cheese fondue and some appetizers, overall a wonderful night!
