It’s turning into quite the travel Thursday but do not fear this is actually a (shhhh!) Fashion post. Read on for the full explanation!
This afternoon I’m hoping you can all help me to help a friend of Florence Finds out, Michelle from Pocketful of Dreams. Michelle is heading off to Paris very soon and recently asked the readers of her blog for tips on where to go, or what to see and do. Like all of us, she’s looking for those little known hideaways, cute shops, pretty patisseries and knock-out cool bars to sample a cocktail.

Of course, that’s exactly what we’re about here at Florence Finds so I said I’d help her out by posting her shout out and Michelle is going to return the favour by covering her fabulous travails on her return. I can’t wait to hear all about it.
In the meantime, I was inspired to help Michelle with her packing and (after you have left your comments!) please head on over to Pocketful of Dreams and have a look at the Parisian city break solutions I dreamed up for her…
Au revoir!

This is super-timely for me too, as I am being whisked off to Paris for my birthday in a fortnight’s time!
Tres bien Gemma, you lucky thing. I shall try and give you the lowdown on my finds then before you head off. x
I am off to Paris tomorrow! Thanks for sharing an amazing post – will have it by my side while packing tonight and following your tips 🙂 xo
OOh have a wonderful time Louise, I cant wait to hear all about it and see the results of your photo shoot. x
I spend my life aiming to look as nonchalantly stylish as the girl in the pic! It will never happen…
Hehe me too Sarah, she is my Paris muse….and with Rebecca’s fab packing tips I may just reach her stylish status….a girl can dream anyways. xx
I love the ‘muse outfit’ on the mood board Michelle (as well as the ones Rebecca chose ,of course), but I just don’t think I could rock that look in ‘Le Cardiff’!! Sigh.
Well jel of all these Parisian jaunts ladies – have a fab time!
Oh, how I love Paris! We go twice a year and I never, ever, tire of it. You’ll have such a fabulous time, Michelle. And I’m sure you don’t need any more food and drink tips, but just in case you do, here’s a few of my favourite places: http://www.thehoneymoonproject.com/2010/10/15/paris-where-to-eat/
Can never have too many food and drink options, I intend on stuffing myself stupid and fitting in as many of these as possible in the 4 days I am there. Thanks so much x
I went to Paris a few years back on a small classy hen weekend. We ate at one of the oldest restaurants in the st Germain area, called Procope http://www.procope.com/. The food was fantastic and the atmosphere was very Parisian.
We also had a fantasic evening at the Lido http://www.lido.fr/ (cabaret), which is where the Bluebells dance. I have heard that it is better than Moulin Rouge, although I can’t clarify being that I have never been to Moulin Rouge.
Have a fab time, it is a beautiful city
Alas, I have no Paris tips BUT I just wanted to say that I love these what to pack/capsule wardrobe features (yes, been over to Pocketful of Dreams espesh). Love the Dune shoes – even if I couldn’t actually walk in them!
