Salut! I've just got back from a magical trip to Paris and have 3 blog posts to share with you :D
I took my boyfriend for his 24th birthday and we stayed in an air b&b apartment in the lovely Le Marais. It was our first experience with Paris and Air b&b and I would definitely recommend both, air b&b is so much cheaper than most parisian hotels! Our apartment couldn't have been better and the whole experience ran really smoothly.

I didn't take very good outfit photos this day as it was Perry's birthday and we were excited to go out and about and explore (and stuff our face with birthday crepes) but I've included some Instax photos to make the post a little more interesting. You can also see more photos from our trip on my instagram @helibells


This was the gorgeous view of the courtyard from our balcony. The apartment we stayed in was really central in Le Marais and a 10/15 minute taxi ride away from all the other main attractions so it was perfect.
We spent the Sunday exploring the local vintage shops such as Free 'P' Star and the Kilo shop. I was recommended the Free 'P' Star several times but to be honest, it didn't do much for me. It was really overcrowded and most of it wasn't that great vintage. Apparently you can find some gems fighting your way through the euro bins but it was so much effort and I just couldn't be bothered. I did however find a vintage versace crop top for €10 but later discovered there were tiny rust marks all over it :( The Kilo Shop is a lot better and more organised so would recommend that one more but if you have the patience then it's worth checking out the 3 Free P shops in Marais just for the hope of finding something cool. I went back to the shops 3 times during my stay and only managed to find 2 things in total (but I am majorly fussy).

This was my outfit for Perry's birthday evening. I'm wearing all vintage everything and Topshop heels! We went to Le Crazy Horse show so had to be a bit dressy (read below for more about the show)/
