Whilst I was in Paris I was at the Porte de Clignancourt market. Officially it is called Les Puces de Saint-Ouen, but known to everyone as Les Puces (The Fleas). I spotted these amazing old necklaces, which would look good in my collection.

Here are some of the vintage stores that I found in the Le Marais area in Paris. I found two cool jackets in Freep\’star - one of them I showed earlier. The King of Frip didn’t have much to offer the day I was there, however Coiffeur Vintage had lots of pretty cheap clothes and I enjoyed a good chat with the owner.

Paris is wonderful. Yesterday when I arrived Julie came to pick me up at Gare Du Nord station. In the evening we went to see Sacré Cæur and Moulin Rouge by night, which was very beautiful. A nice little walk through Montmartre was a good start on my little holiday away from London. Now I will walk through the city dicovering it again. xxx

I am going to Paris today to visit my friend Julie and to take some pictures for the blog. I am taking the Eurostar train from Kings Cross station arriving at Gare Du Nord this evening. I can’t wait to experience the city again. Last time I was in Paris was in 2006, where I lived there for two months working as a model. I kind of know the city, but would still love to have some tips of what is a MUST see right now? I look forward to hearing from you!
Listen to the journalists’ expectations of the event.
