We're back! Eating asian food, taking photographs, drinking bubble tea, watching cute little indie flicks at Paradiso, walking around the streets of Perth doing nothing all day.

Jusqu'à Toi

(screencaps via Mélanie Laurent)


You know i'm a sucker for indie romance flicks. Put them in French and you pretty much have me before the previews even start rolling. So Jusqu'à Toi (English title; Every Jack has a Jill) practically had me in love before I even rocked up to Luna Paradiso today. Then the opening song by Kate Nash came on, coupled with the knowledge that one of my favourite French actress' Mélanie Laurent would be coming on screen very soon and after that it wasn't just love- i'm not exactly sure if there is a word to describe it, but it was some sort of deep love. Mélanie Laurent's character Chloé was absolutely adorable- a good mix of innocent dreamer however cynical about reality. The story follows an American man who looses his suitcase whilst on a trip that he won to Paris. Chloé, a French girl on a business trip from Brussels, ends up with the bag, goes through his things and slowly imagines the man of her dreams based on his possesions. And then they happen to fall in love. Deluded? Probably. Unrealistic? Yes. But that's the story. And it is completely adorable. Oh and they just happen to meetup in my favourite place in the entire world- the steps of Sacré Cœur.

Every Jack has a Jill

seeing this film tomorrow, so excited!

So, that's that! 6 months worth of European adventures are now finished, and remain a very very sweet memory. Now it's time for Perth life, university and growing up. I have a to do list as long as the bible right about now, the first thing on that list is to get my job at Tiffany & Co. back. Hopefully they're in need of people, if not i'll be on the search for a part-time retail position in the city! I have about 6 months to figure out everything now, my head is a little bit straighter after being away for so long. I miss France more than anything, however I know that a return is not that far in the future.

Paris; YSL

Last full day in Paris was the 20th of July, in where my sister and I headed to the Yves Saint Laurent exhibition at the Petit Palais. It displayed the history of all of YSL's work, he's initial work under Christian Dior and then his solo work. It was here that I ran into a friend of mine from Bordeaux, a lovely surprise! For the rest of the afternoon we chilled around Paris, and I walked around the Latin Quarter for about 3 hours just taking in my final few moments of France before the return...

Paris; Monematre (encore)

The next day was shopping day! I bought a pair of gorgeous Stuart Weitzman heels aswell as some American Apparell stuff. We visited the infamous Galeries Lafayette and then headed to my favourite place in the entire world for dinner; Montmartre (which I did mention a few blog posts ago when I was there with my EuroTour group).
