Where to start describing my trip to Paris… had the most amazing time. For some reason I didn’t really plan the shops I wanted to shoot in advance. Usually I just pop along to Avenue Montaigne and I know I should have searched out lots of little boutiques but time just got the better of me and to be honest I am more familiar with the touristy/cheaper stores. I don’t exactly go to Paris to shop designer, as much as I wish I had that kind of money! However on the last day I picked up a magazine which had a map in of all the areas with designer stores and suddenly I had discovered the area where all of my favourite stores are, Mulberry, Stella, yet I was just about to leave for the airport. Gutted is not the word…. BUT on the bright side of things I have a copy of my map and next time when I go back I am going camera in hand, with a full day free for shooting. Yes I know I am a Geek. Its better to just embrace it I think!
