like herds of dream elephants

i bought these shorts leggings(is that what they're called?) from The Pacific Mall in Ontario, CA. they're interesting. i have a pair of cropped leggings like that. i was afraid that they might look like underwear :x i convinced my sister to buy a pair too.

I went to The Pacific Mall where its apparently the biggest Asian mall in North America. The stores were so cute and colorful, very much like the ones in Hong Kong except less crowded.

POCKY!!

Canada was cool. i didn't really take any interesting pictures. i stayed there for a night and saw my cousins, aunt and uncle. i haven't seen them since i was 13. i don't really have family that are close enough to visit(pretty much all of them live abroad) but since i moved to school they're only an hour away and a half. song of the day is Island Ave by Jacuzzi Boys

slip on down from that sun

bou bou shirt, h&m skirt, vintage cardigan

this heat wave we're having here is unbearable. its about 100 degrees and the only way to escape the heat is by standing near an open fridge or go to the mall. i have no a.c. kill me. now.

a few more Paris pictures :)

croque madame & french coffee.

tea & tattered pages bookshop.

picnic under the Eiffel Tower!

sandwiches & wine.

song of the day is The Sun by Portugal. The Man

Slip on down from that sun

To climb down to earth

And down to things like time

Because we are all, we are all just lovers

Born of earth and light like all these other

you can't stop wishing if you don't let go

somewhere stripped shirt, vintage scarf, paris market purse

hotel room. i was lucky to get the heart in the picture. it just appeared on television while i was playing around with the camera.

check out my swirly designed bracelet. i bought it from a little shop in Paris.

along with the shorter necklace and the 2 rings.

it took me a while to get use to the metro. after i used it a few times it was easy and just like using the subways in new york. montparnasse was the stop where my hotel was.

all i wanted to do was ride around in a vespa. the city also had a bike system all over paris that you could rent off the street. the idea was that it didn't matter where you end up as long as there was the bike rack.

song of the day is Breakdown by Jack Johnson remixed by Handsome Boy Modeling School

I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaack :)

i'm back from my trip to Paris and to all Parisians out there i envy you so much. Paris was beautiful and i seriously couldn't get enough of it. the food was fresh and amazing. the architecture was stunning and the city itself was breathtaking.

zara shirt, h&m romper, vintage belt, target necklace

i went to most of the famous monuments in the city. i also went to Versailles(which, by the way was my favorite monument after the Eiffel Tower). i visited the Catacombs, Louvre, Napoleon's Tomb, Arc de Triomphe and so much more!

i'd like to live in one of these rooms.

Macarons were delicious. in order, rose, cafe, black current(not my favorite..too sweet), pistachio, raspberry, chocolate, vanilla and i have no idea what the last one is.

looking out to the garden at Versailles.

i was told to try a croque madame. so yummy!

Marie Antoinette's room.

seine river. took a boat ride on there too.

i took over 800 pictures but while uploading it on to my computer it froze and for some reason i lost half of them. and the better half of them all, too. i'm so mad at myself because towards the end of the trip i took really awesome pictures of the picnic underneath the Eiffel Tower. now i have to wait until my friends upload them on facebook so i can steal them. i'll post more in future.

XOXO,

yvonne renee

i saw you lingering still

went to the city for some shopping.

stopped by a bakery.

got a cup of coffee.

and some cupcakes.

continued shopping.

bought new pants.

this past week has been really nice weather, but today was cold. let's hope the next week brings sunshine. i'm on spring break.

i bought 2 new pants and a shirt. the bad thing about shopping in the city on a saturday afternoon are the long lines to the dressing rooms and registers.

I've got Paris in my room.

me in Lille, France One Silver Dollar by Gianni Ferrio.
