Still reflecting on the amazing week I spent in Paris last month. I've only been home just over a week, but it feels like forever ago. Why is that always the way with holidays?

 

More Paris posts to come. There is just far too much to share!

 

 

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: to paris and back

{friday 23 march | 7.06am | leaving paris}

 

My weekend was spent mainly at airports and on planes, heading home to Perth after an amazing week in Paris. I arrived home on Saturday afternoon to a quiet, empty house, and then proceeded to sleep for sixteen hours straight!! Sunday I did a few loads of washing and hung around eagerly awaiting the arrival of my boys, the house was way too quiet without them.

 

I'm finally feeling kind of back to normal and on top of things. Lots of blog posts to come on what I got up to while staying in my all time favourite city.

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!

point + shoot: better late than never

Its been a crazy week, hence why I am only doing this now, on Thursday night! We spent our long weekend down south at the beach house. These photos were taken when we went over to my parent's place for a bbq on the Sunday evening, Harley got to hang out with his great grandparents there too. After dinner we wandered down to the beach for a play, dogs included!

a new season: baobab

We are super excited about all of the new winter stock that will be arriving in the next few weeks! At the moment, I'm finding it hard to even remember what winter feels like.. although I am sure to be reminded next week when I land in Paris!!! More to come on that later. Here is a little sneak preview of the super funky Aussie brand, Baobab, winter collection, which will be landing at Harley and Soo very soon.

 

 

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!
