Book:
I Heart Paris by Lindsey Kelk is funny, exciting and a follow-up to I Heart New York which I recommended in my New York Blogs. It follows fictional character Angela Clark's journey around Paris and is like a French Sex in the City.Lovely and I'm half way through it just now :)
Music for your ipod:
U2 - City of Blinding Lights: The lyrics beautifully sum up the city at night and I think of Paris everytime I hear it (they also used it in the Paris arrival scene in the Devil Wears Prada :p).
Edith Piaf- Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien:Lovely, french, dramatic, unspoiled and timeless.Just like Paris.
Ladyhawke- Paris is Burning: Just heard this song and I think it really gives you an insight into the hip,bohemian feel of the Latin Quarter.
Must have's on flight:
In your make up bag:
Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat
A mini tub of Nivea Soft (hands face and body one)
Carmex Lip Balm
Benefit Bad Gal Lash Mascara
Barry M Eyeliner (any,they are all great)
Barry M Dazzle Dust (any colour but you only need a tiny amount)
Maybelline Dream Matte Mouse (foundation and blusher)
A small perfume atomizer- fill it with something light and lovely Anna Sui Secret Wish or Dolce and Gabanna Light blue so it's not too overpowering for whoever is around you though :)
Baby wipes-travel pack
Other necessities:
Undies (incase your hold luggage case goes missing)
Map of paris, metro map print out and hotel details so you can plan your arrival and journey from airport
Alcohol gel for hands-if you plan on using the metro and also because I have yet to find a flight toilet with soap that doesnt smell disgusting.
A hairband/bobble and bursh (again incase your cases go missing)
Pen, ipod, scrap paper,phone and camera (as above :p)
