Katherine and I spent a lovely day yesterday in the Tuillerie Gardens watching Paris Fashion Week! Combined with my morning class at the Sorbonne it really turned out to be a very quintessential Parisian day. Though you have to have an invitation to see the actual shows we managed to do some celebrity stalking and see some crazy fashions. Every one shows up wearing their finest, I'm assuming in the hopes of being photographed.
Shoes.
The Tuileries are the perfect backdrop for such an occasion.
Turbans appear to be on the cutting edge.
As are feathered headbands.
And being orange.
The paparazzi freaking out over someone. Turned out to be Chinese pop star Fan Bingbing (no joke!)
All of that was a wonderful recovery from my last weekend in Amsterdam:
It was a weekend of firsts.
First heavy metal screamo show.
Amsterdam is a beautiful town full of great food and some really nice people. It was a truly refreshing break from Paris.
Beyond that, my time in Paris has been filled with school, guacamole making competitions with my friends, eating a lot of delicious food, and walking around in the finally beautiful weather [it's been in the 50's this week!]
Here is a picture of the Luxembourg Gardens - right by my school:
I've also been spending plenty of time interning at Galerie Alberta Pane. We had a vernissage just a few weeks ago - a huge success. It's been a unique experience working in a professional environment in a foreign language.
Well until next time. I'm really going to try to post more often, so bug me about it.
À toute suite!
Clara
