7 eiffel hotel paris


As I'm sure that most of you will have already seen on my blog, a month ago I stayed in Paris for a few days for my Birthday. As my blog is lifestyle related I'm going to be venturing into hotel reviewing and lovely places to stay so I thought there is no better way than to kick off with a review of a Parisienne hotel. The hotel is based in the centre of Paris but as it is down a quiet street with vintage shops and bakeries as neighbours you forgot the hustle and bustle of city life. It's also just a short ten minute walk from the Eiffel Tower and a few paces away from the nearest metro which made it absolutely ideal for me. The room that I stayed in had a perfect balance of comfort and style with features such as a rain shower and a flat screen tv. My favourite thing about the hotel most certainly was the beautiful terrace bar that served an array of cocktails late into the evening and was the perfect place to recline and have a rest after a long days shopping. 

Overall I can't recommend the hotel enough, personally I booked a package through Eurostar for a two night stay with train tickets to and from London St Pancras for two people for bang on £500, which I thought for mid July was a superb deal. If you want to find something similar then just select your dates on the Eurostar website and be sure to enter '7 Eiffel' into the search bar when entering more details. The hotel is also featured on the Guardian's 10 best boutique hotels on Paris's left bank, which I think is definitely a further seal of approval!

vivienne westwood purse


For my eighteenth birthday a few weeks ago I was lucky enough to receive this beautiful nude patent Vivienne Westwood purse as a gift from my mum. I'd actually been lusting after the purse for a few years and it was always really hard to get hold of, in and out of stock and off and on their website like nobodies business. I definitely couldn't of asked for a better present as it fits all of my cards and extra change but the colour also goes with everything I wear.

beaded collar silk dress


Yesterday I went raspberry picking and wore a lovely dress that the clothing company Glamourous were kind enough to send over (you may have already spotted among my photos from Paris) The dress has a chunky beaded statement collar and is made of a soft silk type material that hangs beautifully. Glamourous have some great pieces on their website that are definitely worth checking out both for their unique designs and great prices.
