Yesterday I experienced what I came to Paris for! The day started off amazing, I got to sleep in and go for a jog on this gorgeous running path. Then I went with some friends to the bakery and had my first ever pan chocolate! It was amazing! After that I had some time to get homework and research done and even take a nap. But then I got tired of being in my room and I decided to look at the list of weekend activites that my tour guide gave me and I jumped on a metro and headed to Champs Elysees! It was so fun to walk down the streets lined with shops and tourists. I also got to see the Arc de Triunphe! I watched the traffic for a little while too and I am so surprised that I didnt see an acident because that round a bout is insane! Then I walked down the other side of the street and even went into the car galleries they had there. When I reached the end I thought I was done until I realized that right off the main street in a street called Montaigne and that is actually the reason this was on the weekend list. I walked down this street and was amazed at what I almost missed. It was a full line of the highest couture shops! I had never seen so many designer stores all in one place! I walked down the street taking pictures of the window displays and taking notes on the fashions I was seeing. Then I got to Versace my favorite designer and I couldn't help but go in! I tried to act very interested in buying something haha, the door man opened the door for me and greeted me with a Bonsoir, and then I had my own personal assistant follow me around the store. It was so luxerious and incredible. I also went into Valentino where I found a dress that I couldnt stop staring at and when I moved it to see how much it was I almost audibly gasped. It was a 9,000 Euro dress which is pretty much $18,000 US. I felt like I owed them hundreds just for touching it! then I contunued down the street into Prada, and Dior. I spoke to a sale woman in Dior about why I was in Paris and I told her I was studying fashion and wanted to be a designer and stylist. Then she promptly asked me how many lines I had designed back in the states, like it was a requirement. I was so happy that I had an answer for her, she seemed to take me more seriously when I told her that I had debuted two of my own lines in the past two years. She told me that I was in the right place to accomplish my goals and that I need to visit Madrid. I really hope to see my own name on this street in the future. After a flawless visit to Champs Elysees and Montaigne St. I got back on the metro and headed home :)
The Louis Vuitton On the Champs Elysees. It was so crowded there was a line around the block. The thing that these tourists didn't know was that there was another one just around the corner without a line :)
Me at the Arc de Triumphe!!!
