Can you guess where we went today?
It was dry out and so sunny and clear—the perfect day to visit the Eiffel Tower—but we were disappointed to learn that we couldn’t go to the top level, it was closed because of wind. We also visited Notre Dame today and walked around the city for hours…and ate crepes!
As you can see, I wore the cognac boots today. BIG thank you to everyone who told me to bring them—I am so glad I did because I started to get some serious knee paint after dinner last night. It makes it really difficult for me to go down stairs. Like super painful—I’ve never had knee pain before, ever. The Hunters are very comfy but they are a heavier less flexible style boot so I opted for my lighter Nine West boots. I still get the pain after about 5-7 hours of walking, but I’m just trying to elevate my knees at night and take some painkillers.
I saw another girl wearing the exact same Hunters I wore the other day and I wanted to yell to her “don’t wear those all day—your feet will feel fine but your knees will feel brutal!”
I’m also seeing A LOT of UGGS here. Everyone is dressing for comfort because it’s freezing—I haven’t seen anyone really dressed up anywhere. I’ve been loving my Lulu Lemon leggings—I layer 2 other pairs under them and can’t imagine a comfier way to walk around all day.
I also wanted to thank the person who told me about La Roche Posay being sold here—I went to a pharmacy today and sure enough they had the entire line of products and they were way cheaper here, even with the exchange.
We are having a blast here—tomorrow we head o Versailles! Can’t wait 🙂
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!
xoxo,
Veronika.

Merry Christmas! What a beautiful way to spend the day. I'm so excited you're going to Versailles. You're lucky to get La Roche Posay for cheap, too.

I love leggings for winter in general. I need some additional pairs and spotted the HUE brand at Macy's yesterday. Very cute! Love the Eiffel Tower picture.

Versailles? I'm so jealous! I adore Marie Antionette 🙂

So glad Christmas was a sunny day for you two! You look so cold though, although I guess cold and Christmas seem to go together :D. Have fun at Versaille today!
Also- where are you taking your outfit snapshots? Is that you hotel room? It looks super duper modern! And the flooring looks like a street map?

I absolutely love your boots! I'm new to your blog so if you already posted, I apologize, but was wondering if you could share where you got them?
Thanks so much,
