Bloggers go mad in Paris
After a 4am wake-up call, I found myself aboard the Paris-bound Eurostar on Saturday morning to sample their Big Break Little Difference fashion bloggers day trip. It was a long, action-packed day, so here are my highlights although not many photos (guess who forgot to charge her camera?):
*The business class treatment on the Eurostar – smoked salmon brekkie, hot towels and leather head-cushions, yes please!
*A lunchtime talk with Concours de Style award-winner, designer Marion Cointot and a chance to study her collection. Finely-detailed trend-free dresses with a typically girlish French aesthetic. Impressed.
*Keeping a lid on my spending. Didn’t I do well, I didn’t even spend £100! Other than my fragrance and some museum postcards, I bought German magazine I Love You for a mere five euros at Colette. Cheap n chic, just like me…
Although our bloggers trip was all-expenses paid, Eurostar have some good deals at the moment, including London-Paris return journeys for only £59. Get more info here.

Aaaah, lucky you! Why is it the PR approaches I get for my blog never amount to anything more than a few trial bottles of budget shampoo?!
I love Eurostar First Class too, with its free copies of Vogue Paris and Numero – if you're booking yourself if you go for Leisure Select instead of Business Premier you get exactly the same onboard service, at a much lower price – all you miss out on is special check in area and lounge access.

I was very excited to go on the double decker train, I agree it was quite spooky….a ghost train perhaps?
I've posted about the trip on my other blog: http://www.thefashionassistant.com

Seems like you checked out some really cool shops! Sadly I didn't buy anything no, although this can only be a good thing (I've just started my new job, and don't get paid until the end of August).
Can't wait until the reunion drinkies to have a catch up. Take care my dear Cx
