I’m finally stateside and loving it! I’m going to miss Paris soon but right now I’m loving sitting around in my pajamas all day and not feeling obligated to do anything. I can have coffee, cookies, diet coke, and access to a whole kitchen whenever I want! And I can also take a shower at any time of the day! It’s amazing.

4 scarves: 28 euro
1 shotglass: 3 euro
5 postcards: 7.60 euro
1 fancy rasberry Laduree pastry: 6.10 euro
2 magnets: 6 euro
1 keychain: 3.50 euro
3 posters: 5 euro
