Pigalle



Paris with a heat index of 102 is a Paris I don't want to experience too many times in my lifetime. It's not that I can't handle a little heat, but when it does get that bad, my body just wants to slump down over an ice cube, and I operate at 30% capacity because I'm drained so easily. Also, 95% of Paris does not have AC, so when you've finally made it to your destination after a sweltering walk, there is no relief. In fact, it was often hotter indoors than out. The AC was also broken in our hotel room the first night, but that's a whole can of worms I won't get into.

Anyway, the fiery heat meant getting out as early as possible before temperatures properly rose. I took these shots over a leisurely breakfast at Le Pigalle (which was around the corner from where we stayed at Le Grand Pigalle) and in the surrounding streets.

// Lo & Sons bag
// Celine sunglasses *side note, Matches has by far the lowest priced Celine eyewear I have seen anywhere. This pair, for example, retails for $450 in the US, 320 Euros in Europe (which is what I paid and thought was a "deal"), and somehow is only $285 on the site. Snag it up before they realize! I also have my eyes on these orange-pink babies.

  2. Wow, the architecture of that first building (the hotel?) is beautiful. While I also hope to avoid such sweltering weather, I would love to see all that in person. Thanks for sharing!

  3. I completely wilt in the heat. It's about 104 where I live too and I am just dying. Luckily we have a beautiful river nearby, but still. I don't know how you can stand to wear jeans in that heat, but you look gorgeous! So chic.

    1. This is life or I was born so I can talk about Paris, Paris changes like any big cities, I prefer before in the year 60/70 or everything was romantic less pollution now the apartments too expensive so the Parisian go to suburbia
