Griff and I Quit the Metro

this week i realized something.

it totally stresses me out

getting on the metro with griffy/stroller.

well..someone else helped me realize it actually.

my french friend beatrice..

now she's my friend,

however, she started out as kind of our liason.

she has helped us transition here in paris..

with things like..

schools, the flat, finding a dance school,

helping us rent a piano..etc. 

now i consider her my friend.

she was here the other night 

and told me to stop 

riding the metro with griff 

and the stroller.

i told her that i feel guilty

if i don't "get out there"

every day and see paris.

she got me over that quick.

we are so lucky to live

in a really great part of paris.

i have everything i need 

all within walking distance.

parks, playgrounds, museums,

shopping, cafe's.

beatrice recommended i make life

easier on myself and stay off the metro

with the stroller.

i agreed.

i'll save the metro for the weekends.

so today..

we walked and walked all

around our own arrondissment.

it was so lovely

and relaxing.

i didn't get the stroller caught

(like i do every.single.time)

in the turnstyle.

i didn't worry about getting on 

the right train.

i didn't have to carry the stroller

up and down those damn steps.

here are some scenes from 

todays walk..

 loving the oxford shoes 

i'm seeing everywhere.

wish i got a pic of a cute girl

wearing rolled boyfriend jeans

black patent leather oxfords

with purple laces

and a pair of leopard socks.

speaking of leopard

and my obsession with it...

look what i bought myself today!

from zara..

so it didn't break the bank.

window displays at lancel.

what paris girls are wearing.

pretty building

corner boulangerie

bon weekend!!
