Shopping in Paris: Bonpoint

When I was staying in Paris last week, my friend Kassy had a list of places and stores that we must visit, and Bonpoint was one of them.

Located at 6 Rue De Tournon in Paris, on the premises of the 17th century Hotel de Brancas, the flagship Bonpoint concept store includes eight imaginatively decorated rooms, as well as a gorgeous cafe which has a courtyard that opens on sunny days.

Even if you don't have children, this store is well worth a look, just for the interior itself. Stunning white washed floorboards, whimsical chandeliers and mind blowing displays that really do leave you breathless! If you do have children, or are expecting, the store sells beautiful clothing for newborn up to around 12 year old, accessories, shoes, blankets, teddies, and also beautiful perfumes.




We took a break from baby shopping and shared a chocolate brownie and a generous slice of cheesecake in the store's cafe.



Of course I walked out the door with some very special purchases for my baby girl, due in June. The kind of pieces you hand down through generations! If you find yourself in Paris, be sure to visit Bonpoint, and allow yourself enough time to take it all in, it really is a truly amazing and special store to visit. I hear that there are also stores in other parts of Europe, and in Asia and the US.

point + shoot: 24 weeks


A quick (and late.. again) point + shoot this week.. this is me on the weekend, ready to head around to my bestie's place for a good ol' girlie evening in.. which ended in a 1am bedtime for me which I am so not used to anymore! Felt like I'd been up drinking all night when I woke up the next day. Anyway, this is my 24 week bump, coming along quite nicely!
 
The bump and I are flying all the way to Paris tomorrow to visit a very special friend who is lucky enough to be living in my favourite city of all time for a couple of years. Crazy! I'm so SO excited! Having a little trouble packing winter gear. Not looking forward to the long flight. But it will be worth it, for sure!

let the sun shine through


These two are my favourites. I love it when that golden light shines through the photos. Oh and that is my 23 week bump!

point + shoot: beach shoot

Yesterday afternoon, we met my dear friend Emelie down at our fave beachy jaunt, Yelo Cafe, and had a little photo shoot on the beach. I've been thinking for a while it would be nice to get some photos of us as a family of three (well, 4 if you include Soo), before we become a family of four.. or five.. if you include the dog!

Anyway.. it was fun, a little windy, and challenging to get photos of myself and Harley as he is obsessed with his dad to the point of me not wanting to touch him! Doesn't he know who looks after him?? Here is a little sneak peak.


More to come later on.

point + shoot: 16 weeks

{sunday 15 january | 4.08pm | 16 weeks}
 
This was a fun little photo shoot we did on Sunday afternoon. I was disappointed that I didn't have many photos of my pregnancy with Harley, so this time I really want to make the effort to document it, so I have something to look back on! Not really high on the priority list when you are feeling like crap. Finally, I am starting to feel less sicky every day, but still waiting for that 'burst' of energy you are meant to get in your second trimester.
