24 HOUR PARIS

My 24 hour Paris trip with Farfetch was filled with excitement – we’d gone for The Playlist event in the evening which left us a day to explore the city. After we’d checked in to our hotel, Le General, we headed out in our car for the day (now I know how good those fashion editors have it); first we stopped of at L’eclaireur for some fantasy shopping and then afternoon tea at the Ritz! Unfortunately no photos were aloud inside except for some sneaky Instagrams, which was a shame but I get that it’s probably better for everyone else not to have my fat DSLR sticking in their face. The rain was pretty terrible whilst we were there, we sat eating our afternoon tea and the buckets of water being thrown off the Ritz canopy was quite mesmerising to watch! After this it was time to get back in the car and head back to the hotel for Ladurée macaroon time. The next day we had time for breakfast and then it was back to Gare du Nord where I was headed back to London and straight to the Sanderson for an Alice in Wonderland themed afternoon tea, where I was more than welcome to take pictures. What a perfect end to the perfect trip!

Thank you to the Farfetch team for such a wonderfully organised adventure and to Alex and Karen for the fun company!

P.S. – Can we please talk about the pills for breakfast at the hotel? I can’t think of anything more ‘fashion’; there we have a perfectly normal breakfast buffet and then on the end little jars and spoons of pills to make you happy, younger, more beautiful. I wonder if this is the future?

THE PLAYLIST

Last week I headed off to Paris, with the Farfetch team and fellow bloggers Alex and Karen for the launch of The Playlist; a project that partners Farfetch with six of the worlds best independent music stores and two up and coming bands; Singtank and S.C.U.M, to fuse music and fashion together.

The event was held at RA where we saw Singtank perform a live set as well as see the premier of the short fashion film with Farfetch and Singtank. As Alex said on her blog, that photo of all of us looks like we’ve been hitting that Absinthe hard! The bartenders did get a little happy on the punch towards the end but we weren’t that drunk, I swear!
Before the show we got to sit down with Joséphine and Alexandre who hadn’t yet seen the final cut of the film. I’d never interviewed anyone before and so my first enthusiastic question – ‘Where did you guys meet?’ was followed with a they’re brother and sister Doh! That’s what happens when you don’t do your research!

I’ve attached the short fashion film below for you guys to check out, I feel like it has a serious 70’s vibe! All the clothes are available to buy on Farfetch, I’m really craving that brown Acne jacket Joséphine’s wearing. I think Singtank are even better live and you should definitely check them out if you haven’t already!

A huge thanks to Farfetch and the RA for such an entertaining evening!
