I spent Halloween in Paris with friends. As a lot of us had been before, we didn’t feel the need to re-visit all the monuments, which afforded us more time to explore side streets and neighborhoods. Our apartment was right next to Rue Mouffetard, in the Latin Quarter, where I ate the best meals of my life thus far… also where I blew all my hard-earned #cashdollars (oops #casheuros) because nothing in the city of lights is cheap. But it was worth every cent.
Despite crying every time I saw something cool I wanted to purchase but couldn’t afford, which was all the time as cute boutiques and concept stores are everywhere, and having the worst blisters of my life because I chose to be fashionable* instead of comfortable, I love you, Paris… so much.
*I will never compare to the models casually strutting out of a Paris Fashion Week show… but whatever, WE ALL HAVE DREAMS.

Always carrying around a camera, I'm one to believe that even the smallest moments are ones we should preserve. I've been to France before, but I was unfortunately too naïve and young to appreciate it. I'm hoping this time I'll be able to thoroughly experience the Nantais way of life, and have the musings and photos to share with you all along the way.</span></p>
