It's time to say goodbye...

Once again I am packing my suitcase and saying my goodbyes to friends and family before returning to Edinburgh. It is always hard to say goodbye to all the shoes and purses I leave behind and I cannot take with me apart from the all the people... All the time that I am away the poor shoes and purses are stored, not serving their purpose, just patiently waiting for me to come back. What is comforting me in a way is that the climate of Edinburgh would not allow me to use most of them and they would be there sitting in the closet anyway. But I am very happy that I have managed to take with me 2 purses and 3 pairs of shoes that will be going to Edinburgh for the first time!!! So goodbye rest of the shoes, goodbye rest of the purses, goodbye sunshine, goodbye beach, goodbye friends and family....

Paris, Louis, Marc je vous aime!!!

When in Paris, life is surrounded by fashion. Walking down Champs-Elysees feels like you are in shopping paradise. I was in Paris last week and of course I visited the Louis Vuitton - Marc Jacobs exhibition in Les Arts Decoratifs. The museum is just next to the Louvre museum and it is very easy to reach by metro. The exhibition expands in two floors. On the first floor the work of Louis Vuitton is presented, the way he started, his trunks, his innovations, the fashion styles during his time. On the second floor the works and inspirations of Marc Jacobs as a creative director are presented, many handbags and also many catwalk looks, the collaborations with important artists. In Paris it doesn't matter if you are student when you are older than 25 so if you are older than that there is no discount. Also, there is no hologram like in the Louboutin exhibition to keep the boys occupied. However, my boy was not bored so I take that as a good sign. If you happen to be in Paris by mid September and you love fashion you definitely have to visit the exhibition!!! No photos allowed here as well and no guideline on the sketchbooks but I believe they are allowed.

Louboutin @London

Yesterday I was lucky enough to visit the Christian Louboutin exhibition at the Design Museum of London. If you are a shoe lover and you happen to be in London by the beginning of July I highly recommend it. Many of his designs, his influences and thoughts are present in this exhibition that celebrates the 20 years of the brand. If you are a student you get a discount ticket and the location of the museum is enough to convince you, next to Thames with a view of Tower Bridge. It is not allowed to take pictures inside the exhibition but sketchbooks are encouraged for the creative ones. Oh and it is not boring for the boys either, a hologram of Dita von Teese will keep them occupied ;)
