Palais-Royal Stripes

Dress: Zara {identical} // Sandals: Iris // Hat: Nordstrom //

Bag: Purchased in Venice {similar} // Sunglasses {similar}

Would you believe me if I told you I started this post back on July 13th?! Well you probably would given my track record of blogging this year!
I thought I would finally get this post finished and press publish before 2019 and arrived haha!
You will have seen this dress on the blog already {here or in my June Faves}and that's because it was my favourite dress of the Summer so of course it was coming to Paris with me!
Although I have been to Paris a few times, this was my first trip to see the Palais-Royal and I know everyone loves the striped pillars but my favourite part was the gorgeous blue windows, dream houses goals anyone?!
Fun Fact for you all, if you follow me on Instagram you might remember in my old bedroom where I use to take pictures of my outfits there was always an Anna with Love print behind me? That is a snap from the Palais-Royal that Anna named Parisian Wonderland {you can purchase it here}. It certain is a dreamy little spot in Paris and one you should definitely stop by!

My thoughts have been with Paris all week. 

Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that. -MLK

A fun post coming next week with Tiny Prints.

Red Cup Season makes me smile! 

Obsessed with my newest TK Maxx finds. 

The perfect Christmas Card writing beverage.

I have been in full Christmas prep mode since last weekend, the countdown is on. The good thing about this time of year is I find a cup of Hot Chocolate pairs with just about any Christmas related activity perfectly, not that I really need an excuse haha! Happy Weekend! 

Macarons & Peonies Print Shop

In need of some new prints to brighten up your home? Then I suggest that you head on over to the newly launched Macarons & Peonies Print Shop! Roxy was super sweet and sent me over some of her beautiful new prints for my home! The collection has a lot of Parisian inspired prints along with some fashion girl essentials, like a pair of killer heels and a copy of Vogue! Every print in her store is super affordable so it makes sense to pick up a few! As a girl with a sweet tooth, it's no surprise that the macaron print is my favourite! You can shop the whole collection here and I hear that there are some new Kate Spade inspired prints due to hit the shop soon!

The Paris Collection

 You may have remembered me posting about my love for the talented lady behind annawithlove before! Or maybe you've seen this pretty peony print in my instagram posts over and over again?! How about this beautiful collaboration with the lovely Stephanie Sterjovski? No? Well then you need to head over to the Annawithlove Shop right now and discover the lady behind the lens, Anna Argiropoulos! Anna has just launched her new online store and The Paris Collection. If you haven't been to Paris you are going to want to hop a plane straight away, and for those of us who have discovered the city's magic before you will be mesmerised by the way Anna has captured the city's beauty. I want the whole collection, I cannot even begin to make a decision on which to choose! Anna's Shop is just filled with love and dreams, it shows in every snap! You cannot make a stop by Anna's Shop without leaving with a smile and a new appreciation for the beauty of Paris!

Happy Mail Day thanks to Cake for Breakfast!

Hello April, I can't believe you are here already! Sorry things have been a bit quiet on the blog this week, I have been busy with work. It's been nice to come home and find sweet little packages on my door step after work, so I plan on sending out some packages over the next couple of weeks to spread some love too! 

Spring Check

Old Navy Shirt, Vintage Dress from Paris, Aldo Boots, Bauble Bar Earrings,

J Crew Factory & Vintage Bracelets 

I have been dying to wear this vintage dress I found in Paris again, but the weather just hasn't been ready for it! I couldn't wait any longer so I decided to layering it up with a shirt and boots, maybe next time I wear it, I'll be able to get away with bare legs!

Spring Getaway

I'm constantly day dreaming of a Spring vacation at the moment. I have no idea where I'd go but just the thought of escaping the wind and rain for even a few days is bliss. Unfortunately a trip away isn't on the cards for me anytime soon so instead I will just look back on my photos from my Paris trip last year and maybe find a cute local cupcake place that reminds me of the one from Paris!

Do you have any trips planned soon? I'd love to hear where you all are headed!

I cannot believe Friday is rolling around again! It does not seem a week ago since I was at my sister's graduation. This week has been a busy one, including a training course for work so I plan to have a relaxing weekend involving some crafting, reading and treasure hunting! What is everyone else up to this weekend?

Stacey's Smiles

This month has been the quickest month by far this year! Maybe it's because been I've been so busy at work but it's gone by in a blur. I'm taking a couple of days off work to enjoy a 4 day weekend to finish off the month and celebrate my birthday! This year my Birthday has coincided with the British Grand Prix so I am spending the weekend there with my Dad

Stocking up on supplies for the weekend. 

A yummy treat fresh from Paris from my mum and sister! 

An even prettier macaron that will keep for ever!

I feel like I say this every month but I cannot believe it is June tomorrow. June is one of my favourite month's of the year, partly because it's my birthday month! I just hope the sun decides to start sticking around for longer than 2 days at a time!

Treats from Laduree I mainly purchased for the cute box! 

Enjoying some of the rare sunshine! 

I have a little bit of a J Crew stripe addiction!
