Paris Day One and Two~

Hm... *yawn* I'm tired :3 It's my.... second day in Paris? Yes, that sounds about right. I tend to lose track of time when I'm here. Anyway, I've been here for two days. The first day was a very lazy day~ I spent most of it just walking around, eating good food and staring at the huge snowflakes that suddenly started falling! I have never seen snow in Paris before ^^;

I am quite amused by how people here react to snowfall. At home, people seem equally surprised every winter when it starts snowing and SL fails sooo badly at keeping the public transport system going. Here, however, they start counteracting the snow right away! Five minutes of snowfall and I was seeing shopkeepers covering the sidewalk outside of their shops with a thick layer of salt! Really.... do you seriously think that was neccessary? ^^;

Anyway... on to day two! The shopping day! My dad and I went on a nice little trip to Boddywood, Angelic Pretty, Baby and then to EuroModel~ The last one was for my dad, obviously. Although I do like pretty models too, I am horrible at controlling the ones that actually move.

I looked at a very pretty dress at Angelic Pretty. White with gold print... om nom. But I decided I needed some time to think about it. And then when we got to Baby, I ended up finding a dress I have been wanting for some time so I ended up getting that one instead. As well as some other things, of course.

Everything I got~

New offwhite socks~

New White socks~

Aaaand new black socks~

I needed new socks, so what?

A brown knit bolero~

I have been searching like a maniac for a brown sweater or bolero or something in Sweden and I have not been able to find a single one. Fortunately, Baby had several different brown things in stock so I got to pick and choose as I wished.

From the moment I first saw this dress I have been in love with it! It is just sooo pretty! Not to mention, it is much more my style than the other one I looked at from Angelic Pretty.

I got this one as a gift~ It's a hand puppet! Although I have no idea what I should do with it... Might end up selling it, to be honest.

Oh and I got the Winter collection catalogue thing too! Here are some of my favorite pictures from it~

I want that white coat!

Those brown shoes are so tempting....

And we all know I'm a sucker for pearl necklaces!

Pretty outfit pictures are hard to get when you're on a trip with your father... He just doesn't seem to get the idea of taking a picture just for the sake of showing what I'm wearing :3 Well, this was the best I could do anyway~

We went to look at all the pretty lights at Champs Elysées. I was a bit disappointed, to be honest. The christmas lights in Stockholm are a lot nicer~

They had some sort of Christmas fair going too~

Kaoru got to be in one of the pictures. She wanted proof that she had been in Paris~

And that is all for today~

Snow

It snowed last night. The first time I saw it was during the early hours of the morning. It was very pretty. Snow always manages to make me happy, no matter what. I should have taken a picture of it. It was so perfect. And when I woke up today... It was gone.

Konayuki~

I took Yuki outside today to take some pictures before all the snow had melted. I rather like how they turned out :D

Stockholm Storm

The snow was coming down hard today. The wind was blowing and the air was filled with big snowflakes. There was so much of it that it even made me late for school, but i do not blame it. Even though we have the same kind of snowfall at least a couple of days a year, Stockholm Stad never seems to grasp it and year after year we are buried in snow and most subway trains stand still, or move very slowly. Total chaos ensues and yet they never seem to learn. Funny, is it not?

This morning when I sat in class I looked out the window and could barely see a thing, there was just so much snow. And yet, I could not keep my eyes from it as it fell from the sky to settle in a thick layer on the street. Then, later in the day, the clouds cleared away for a moment and the sun shone down on the freshly fallen snow. I do not think I have ever seen anything so beautiful as when the sun set over the glistening white ground.
