Repetto, Paris

If you have never been to a Repetto store while in Paris, you are totally missing out. These stores, in Paris, are absolutely the cutest things in existence, with ballet slippers and tutus and decorating the store, which, in addition to selling those ballet things, also sells everyday shoes like ballet flats and booties, and handbags. They are a little pricey, but great quality, so it is worth it, in my opinion. Even if you don’t want a pair of shoes, this store is definitely worth a visit to.
Don’t you just want to twirl around in one of these a la Carrie Bradshaw?

Bastille Day, Paris

 I was lucky enough to spend Bastille Day in Paris, and wow, the French really know how to put on a fireworks show. The parade was so fun to watch, mostly because it was great to see how excited the crowds were-but the parades in Paris are nothing like the Parades in the U.S., there is no cheering or funny music or costumes or candy. It was very rigid, and all military, so although different, it was very cool to watch. We had to buy one of those silly periscope things in order to see the parade, and using that was almost more fun than the actual parade!
Later in the day, after we changed out of our patriotic attire, we went to the Hotel Invalides and saw all the military vehicles on display, which was awesome. It was so cool to see them all up close!
