With such limited time in Paris I knew I wouldn't get a chance to see everyone I would have liked to, plus being able to have time to wander the streets to shoot photos as well. But before coming to Paris I knew I had to meet the lovely Carin from Paris in Four Months as I've been obsessed with her beautiful blog ever since I stumbled across it on Instagram (Yes I read every comment on my IG and often click through to peoples accounts just to get creepy).

I think for any girl who is obsessed with the idea of packing their bags and moving to Paris (myself included) would love how Carin has made her move from Sweden to Paris look so easy. I've loved watching her creative eye capture parts of Paris that most tourists never get a chance to see with their limited time here. We can never fully immerse ourselves in this city like the locals do unless we lived here ourselves, which is why Carin's little visual guide of Paris is so perfect for inspiring my day dreams about this place. I think two weeks in Paris is the perfect amount of time to get a taste of what this ridiculously romantic city has to offer, but I honestly wouldn't mind having four months as well!

We got along so well that we even shot some photos together and I love how they turned out. I've wanted to shoot at this black and white pillared courtyard for so long now but never knew where it was. Funnily enough, apparently it's been just around the corner from my apartment this whole time! Perfect place to dress like a matching humbug with my freshly cut hair slash short bob and my new purchase from Maje. I tucked the second layer of this top up to make it into a crop top which I'm kind of obsessed with. Midriff in Paris is probably going against all of their dress codes but definitely not mine.

It seems even in Paris a thunderstorm can become magical. After hearing Zanita hadn't really seen Paris before, I felt compelled to drag her to the most cliches of all cliches - The Eiffel Tower.

When we arrived we were greeted by an evening thunderstorm and gusts of wind strong enough to make a mess of whatever hairstyle I was attempting to maintain for some photos, which kind of came in handy later on when things got a little more seductive than usual.

A nutella and banana crepe later, we were nestled in some rose bushes, rolling around on the grass and laughing about how we couldn't believe the weather had turned so morbid for us. And yet we could feel some sort of electricity in the air, and it wasn't the bright lightening flashing along the horizon either. I think it was the panic of a dark storm approaching and being able to see a curtain of thick grey rain moving towards you as every second passed. People were worried, rushing around like tiny ants and seemed stressed about trying to find shelter. It kind of felt like the world was going to end. Was it? Zanita and I on the other hand were in our absolute element and were mutually filled with excitement after we took the first photo. We had only about 10 minutes of light so this short amount of time mixed with the feeling of fear from a being caught in a dangerous harmelss storm was quite exhilarating.

The moody lighting and dark storm clouds was such a contrast to what I usually envision of Paris and yet I was completely mesmerized by it. Like a moth to a flame, it was hypnotic, and it resulted in some of my favourite photos I've taken with Zanita, ever. Nothing like two crazy girls with a camera and the perfect little red dress in Paris. Special thanks to my girl Zanita for bringing out the vixen in me.
