My number one destination for self-indulgent treat was La Duree (pictured below) I wish I was able to take photos from the inside. La Duree is famous for it's wide variety of flavoured Macaroons in different shapes and sizes. I ordered my fave macaroon which is Vanilla Flavoured (YUM!). I can easily eat half a dozen of those in less than an hour!
Of course, a trip to Paris wouldn't be complete without visiting Collette. I managed to get a photo of the side of the store as shown above. I never understood the hype about this store. Yes it's fun to see the funkiest latest gadgets, books, CDs, and some accessories. But it's definitely not a shopping destination for those who want to buy clothes. Their clothes selection is very limited and "very" small in sizes!
My window shopping started at Avenue George V and ended at Avenue Montaigne (and some Avenue Saint Honore). Here are some of the interesting window displays I've seen. And silly me, I forgot to take a photo of the 2 most important stores in Paris: Chanel and Hermes. I was probably too mesmerised by their beautiful window display.
The above photo is Kenzo's window display which looked very 70's chic
Sonia Rykiel had one of the cutest cocktail dresses I have ever seen on their window display. Too bad it was in white..Stay Tuned, more info on Paris in my future posts..

I'm going on a European Business trip London, Milan, Rome, and Paris. I would love if you could give me any advice about were to eat and shop in those countries especially Paris ( went there once and totally didn't like the shopping or food..all those designer stores were sold out of "nice or it bags" and were totally rude! please help any advice would be greatly appreciated.
In my case? I worry about VPLs and the fact that it might make me look fat ;P

Thank u :* I just wish I took more photos!
I mean the service was really rude and slow. I know this is France and waiters have to be slow and rude or they'll probably get fired but still they took it a step too far plus the macarons that I had were stale!
keep up the great job of sharing with us all this information yizach allah 5air :D
