At the moment, I am amused by...this shop's name...

Last week, I went to Paris to visit my friends. As it was the weekend and I arrived Paris around the evening, my time to do a lot of activities was limited. However, Jenny managed to take me out to another shopping area, Marais (pronounced as ma-ray according to Jenny) in the 3rd arrondissement) which was pleasant to walk rather than the busy streets of the 1st arrondissement!
Anyway, while walking along Rue de Sévigné, I couldn't help it but to take photos of this shop, mainly the name...I find it humourous though some may not find the same kind of humour as I do...

Monsieur Poulet (literal translation: Mr. Chicken)
Original Chicken Clothes
(It's a boutique selling printed T-shirts)

Photos: From my phone.
Website for 'Monsieur Poulet' (in French and English): http://www.monsieurpoulet.com/ (the t-shirt prints are quirky and colourful).

Paris So Far... Part One

I've place Paris as my main point to my destination for my whole Europe Trip and here's what I've seen so far...

My friend whom I'm bunking in with in Paris has a habit of doodling on scraps of paper and it often comes with great effect!

These patterns got 'projected' onto the ceiling while my friend was doing her embroidery work.

I had a few hours to myself and went around the highest peak of Montmarte.

Clutch around 600 euros plus from a vintage shop...made with two baby leopard's head...I feel really sorry for them... :(

Another great doodle from my friend while sipping our tea at Starbucks.

On the tiny ferry that took us across the river so that we could catch our movie...we watched 'Cheri' starring Michelle Pfeiffer and Rupert Friend (only liked the setting and costumes...)

Interior of 'Mama Shelter' where I had dinner...great gathering!

One of my course at 'Mama Shelter': Leeks with some kind of sauce...and yes, the television enclosed inside the glass table where we sat for dinner.

Well, as I've been to Paris, I did not visit the Eiffle Tower again! Ah yes, I did go to the vintage store, 'Free P'Star'. However, it was super cramped and probably did not go at the right time as it was super crowded! I guess I needed time and to be early to rummage through piles of clothing! I did go to two vintage stores and scored two things...which will be mentioned next time!

Trip to Europe, the few days before flying...

In two days time, I will be on the plane to my first destination, Paris!

I would not say it's my first trip.

This is one of the places I would like to go while I'm in Paris:

A vintage store called 'Free P'star' where you have to rummage through mountains of clothes (as described from others). I guess it will be the equivalent to 'Beyond Retro' in London.
