Ain’t no basic like basic in Paris. Wine on a terrace overlooking the rooftops hellooooooo 🍷 It’s seriously one of the most calming, relaxing things in life...despite the constant wailing of those weenie horns from the European police cars. 🚨 :: :: Where is your calming place? . . . . . . . . . . . . #montmartre #ruelamarck #montmartreaddict #montmartreparis #parisview #parisfrance #parisrooftops #pariscityvision #parislovers #parissecret #parisobviously #airbnbparis

Note: no people were photoshopped out of this photo. It’s just early 😴 :: :: I know people harp on getting out early to shoot if you want no crowds and the best light, but it’s true. I hate getting up early, but once I’m up I’m glad I’m up. This was actually a few hours after sunrise and the Sacre Coeur was still super empty 👍🏻 I did miss the good light tho, a little hard to edit this one. See the before in my stories! :: :: Did y’all see my “encounter” with a tiger yesterday at the zoo? 👀😳😮 . . . . . . . . . . . . #sacrecoeur #sacrecoeurparis #montmartre #8eme #montmartreparis #montmartreaddict #parisfrance #thisisparis #parisobviously #parissecret #parislovers #topparisphoto #france_holidays #france4dreams

Super cute restaurant...kinda okay food...way overhyped...aka Pink Mamma. :: :: I hadn’t really seen much of this restaurant on social. I saw this stairwell a few times, researched the restaurant and saw it was way super cute especially the top floor and decided to make a lunch reservation for as soon as it opened. Well...apparently this place is way more popular and touristy than I ever thought bc there was a line out the door when we arrived. So I’m already annoyed. :: :: Not knowing whether to skip the line bc we had a res or just wait, we ended up waiting and then NOT getting our preferred seating of the top floor we indicated on our res...so people in front who didn’t have a res got my table I specified? Nope. Didn’t like that. Uncool. :: :: The food is pretty alright, it’s not bad but I’ve had better. It’s cute inside yes...but definitely overhyped. :: :: How do you feel about places like this? Do you go for the touristy restaurants? . . . . . . . . . . #parisfrance #pariscityvision #parisstyle #parisvibes #parisrestaurant #parislovers #thisisparis #france_holidays #europetravel #europe_ig

This is as far as my dress would pull out to make a poofy twirly proper Insta photo my baddddd hope you like it anyway despite my lack of big dress. :: :: Thoughts: maybe I don’t put enough effort into my photos? The photography and location and shot itself yes i do, but wardrobe or staging? Not so much. I just kinda pack what I vaguely think will look good in different places and wing it. Rarely will you fine a big ol swirly dress on here, not bc I don’t like them, but bc I truly can’t be bothered 🤦🏼‍♀️ What are your thoughts on this? . . . . . . . . . #montmartre #montmartreaddict #sacrecoeur #sacrecoeurparis #pariscarousel #parisfrance #parisobviously #parissecret #thisisparis #parismaville

Because Al’s first language is French, he can overhear conversations around us when we are in France. One in particular stands out... :: :: We were having lunch when he overheard a group behind us talking about the United States. This one girl had just gotten back and was complaining haaaard about the US. Things in particular overheard: -all the bread tastes like wonder bread -people are crushed under student loan debt -there is no food culture -every person is poor -the south has nothing but fast food Okay so she’s not wrong on a lot of counts but like WHAT KIND OF TRIP DID HOMEGIRL GO ON!?!?! And did she not try actual food? In my opinion some of the best food in America can be found in the south. Aaaaannnyywayyyyy, I know that most countries don’t think so high of the US, I get it, but she just had the worst vacation of her life sorry girl lolololol :: :: Have you ever overheard a weird conversation? . . . . . . . . . . . #jardindestuileries #tuileriesgarden #parisobviously #thisisparis #parisvibes #parisparks #parisinthefall #france_holidays #parissecret #pariscityvision #france4dreams

If found, return here (always) ✨ :: :: TRAVEL 2020 ⭐️ A few weeks ago I implored y’all in my stories to give me some thoughts on the best spots in the USA. I’m thinking about exploring more of our own country for once since you know, it’s big. So give me your favorite most gorgeous places in the US! :: BUT...but but but...no super outdoorsy places. Hiking is the worst and I do not camp. I like the IDEA of being in the mountains a lot, but like, give me a place with rustic cabins. GOOOO!! . . . . . . . . . . . #parisbalcony #parisviews #parisfrance #parisobviously #itssoparis #parislovers #francefr #france_holidays #montmartre #airbnbparis #europetravel
