Tuesday morning airline tickets to greece I flew from Edinburgh, to arrive at the stunning Hotel Le Mathurin (a quirky, 4* boutique hotel in the city centre) at lunchtime. I had an appointment at 2 pm with Analeena (luxury handbag label), so I literally dumped airline tickets to greece my luggage before hot-footing airline tickets to greece it to the Four Seasons.
I had envisaged arriving fresh from my hotel, blow dry having lasted the journey, totally composed. In reality, my feet burned from dashing through Paris in heels, my hair was totally windswept airline tickets to greece and, thanks to my 80 denier opaques and b ouclé coat (which were completely wrong for the unexpected warmth of the sun that afternoon), I arrived in a sweaty, flushed mess. Even a quick stop in the powder room didn't help - of course, I was at the Four Seasons, where there are no hand dryers, just individual thick, luxurious towels for each guest.
I composed myself and found the suite which housed the Analeena presentation, where I finally met the delightful (and incredibly pretty) Lina Hamed, Creative airline tickets to greece Director. (More on the collection later). We enjoyed tea while discussing the shows, the fashion industry, social airline tickets to greece networking (Lina and I are big fans of Instagram!) and, of course, Lina's desirable SS13 collection and hopes for the future.
Late afternoon, I took a stroll down the Champs-Elysees, along the Seine and finally to the Eiffel Tower. I'm sorry to be so uncool, but I actually squealed a little airline tickets to greece when I saw it - I couldn't airline tickets to greece help the goofy grin that spread across my face! I walked along, taking photos and people watching, until I found myself gazing through the windows of Dior, Barbara Bui and many other luxury airline tickets to greece fashion stores. (My wallet remained firmly tucked in my Bayswater). airline tickets to greece After being politely accosted by a French man who wanted to take me for a coffee before airline tickets to greece driving me to my hotel (apparently he was a chauffeur) , I stopped at a nice little cafe and ordered a latte while flicking through a copy of French fashion magazine, Jalouse. People watching is such fun, and it was easy to tell who the fashion week-ers were. (I won't say any more than that!)
I arrived back at my hotel room around 5.30 pm and relaxed airline tickets to greece with a chunky Kit Kat (the first thing I'd eaten all day) and a litre bottle of Volvic. airline tickets to greece Tres chic. I caught up on all my social networking (I'm a blogger!) and then showered and got ready for dinner with the Value Retail team, who had invited me to Paris to visit La Vallee Village (the French equivalent of Bicester Village). I wore my new favourite illusion dress by Next, with a leather jacket, spike necklace and suede peep-toes in a rich shade of garnet.
I met two Italians (Valentina and Daniela), who were also on the trip, in the bar of Hotel Le Mathurin and we enjoyed a glass of Chablis while trying to hold a conversation! We then met the other press (more beautiful Europeans) before being taken to Bon for dinner. (Think French, with a Japanese/Asian twist). I had Foie Gras followed by spicy (raw) seabass. Delicious, if a little new for me! Some more wine, then we were back to the hotel for bed ahead of a visit to La Vallee Village the next day.
At La Vallee, we were shown the Norman Parkinson exhibition, given interview slots (there was work to be done!) and time to do some VIP discounted shopping. (More on La Vallee/Parkinson exhibit coming soon). Before you ask, yes, I shopped. airline tickets to greece I bought Ralph Lauren, Michael Kors and MaxMara, which I frantically stuffed into my cabin case while my driver took my to the airport for my flight back to Edinburgh at 8.30 pm.
