Avenue Montaigne

Okay now girls you have not been to Paris if you have never walked down this street. If you watched Sex and the city (Paris episode) you will know what i mean, I was in shopping heaven. Thankfully that day I dressed up in heels (killed me though, how do those Parisians walk on those cobblestones without twisting there ankles) and spoiled myself to a day of shopping in this glorious street, now i'm not normally this exstravagant but after 3 hard years of setting up my business I was going to do some damage, kind of a reward! Every designer shop is on this avenue but my favourite store had to be Dior inside was so beautiful, the mirrored walls, the antiques it really felt like the most beautiful girls bouidior a must visit truely breath taking. My first stop was Prada shoes, then my favourite store Hermes were I bought a scarf and just a few enamel bracelets (still saving for a Kelly bag) Then moving on to Louis Vuitton a new bag and a diary which Paul had my initials embossed in gold (present from my hubby) you know you have done serious damage when you get offered a coffee and a petite yum at LV. Now for my story, my girlfriend is staying the following week at Plaza Athenee so at $1400 a night I decided I had to check out this hotel, so we decided coffee in the cafe would get me in the door for a sneak peek, well if your not staying there you are really looked down on, I have never felt so uncomfortable in my life, they asked us 10 times our room number which of course we didn't have, $30 and two coffee's later we couldn't get out of there fast enough, I was only really annoyed that I didn't do my shopping first and then walk in with all my designer bags, anyway I was happy to go back to my apartment, put on my flat shoes and head for coffee in our patisserie for $5 and felt completely at home while I pondered over how many years it will take me to pay off my credit card xx
