Top Secret

The next couple of posts come all the way from Paris. No, not the hotel in Vegas, but my favourite city in the world. Rewind a month or so: I was in the French capital for the day for a top-secret collaboration with Yves Saint Laurent (yes, I was pinching myself the entire Eurostar journey!), of which I’ll reveal all the next post. However, I can tell you that it involved talking on camera about a super special beauty product they are about to launch…any guesses?!

I had a bit of free time, so my poor feet carried me to the Arc de Triomphe, the Eiffel Tower and finally Jardin des Tuileries, where I popped them up on a seat and watched a french family drive a remote control boat around the pond. It couldn’t have been more idyllic. I think I view Paris through the same rose-tinted glasses that I once wore in London, every time I’m enchanted by the architecture, the accents and the well-dressed elderly couples that sit outside the many cafés. I could happily explore the city alone for hours on end!

It would have been all the more idyllic had my camera lens decide not to die on me as I arrived in the city. Of course, I wasn’t going to give up that easily and decided to be a bit experimental, and took all the pictures you see here with the lens detached from the camera (bloomin’ awkward!).

In the next post we’ll talk about exactly what I was up to, coupled with a video or two! *gulp* x
