My day started super early. I was up at 6:30 am and out the door at 7 am to join the line for the ErdemxHM collection that launched today. I was actually really nervous about the queue for the launch. I once tried this in the US – you might remember the very popular BalmainxHm collection that sold out quickly –\u00a0<\/em>I was in the line from 5 am until 10 am only to find everything I wanted was sold out, so I was pretty nervous about what it would be like in Paris. I said a prayer, held my breath\u00a0and walked out to the HM store at Boulevard Haussmann. I was surprised to find a relatively short line when I arrived at 7:45 am! Although, I was still really nervous that everyone before me would want the same thing I want and in my size! Luckily, that was not the case,\u00a0 the store was fully stocked when I got inside at 9:25 (I was in the second batch of people to enter – So that means I was among the first 80 to arrive! Woohoo! So proud of myself!) I got everything I wanted and then some(mainly because we weren’t allowed to try them on)! Coming back home and trying on all the really beautiful pieces was definitely the highlight of my day!<\/p>\n

The rest of my evening was spent out back in Paris. This time casually strolling the streets of Avenue Montaigne.\"Plaza<\/p>\n

It was already getting close so to sunset and I wanted something quick to check off my to see list in Paris. Plaza Ath\u00e9n\u00e9e has been one of those Instagram worthy spots I’ve been meaning to visit, so I made that my quick visit of the day. I also remembered that someone had once told me to check out avenue Montaigne – a street lined with the biggest designer names in Paris!! I knew I was not going to buy anything (especially not after my Erdem splurge earlier today), but I thought it was still worth strolling by and drooling over!<\/p>\n

\"DesignerAh someday!<\/p>\n

\"Avenue<\/p>\n

\"Plaza<\/p>\n

Plaza Ath\u00e9n\u00e9e itself was exactly how I pictured it luxurious and dreamy!<\/p>\n

Since it wasn’t completely dark out yet, I walked over another new area! I noted that I had never seen the Eiffel Tower from that angle before. I’m usually on the other side of the river! Even though I have a thousand pictures of the Eiffel Tower already, I took some more for good measure.<\/p>\n

It was a pretty awesome day especially since I’m already home (7 pm) relaxing in my bed – I kinda need it after today’s early start.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
