Spring '13

MAJOR NEWS

I flew back to Rome last weekend, was home for a couple of days and yesterday I took the 4am flight to Paris, spent the day there and flew back at night.

Long story short: I NOW HAVE A BEAUTIFUL HOUSE IN PARIS!!!

The whole story: We arrived so early and went straight to see the house, my stop is Trocadéro, so I get to walk straight up to the Eiffel tower to get to and from there, to uni everyday. I can’t believe I found my house in the XVIth arrondissement, I’ve heard people compare it to NYC’s Upper East Side and it definitely looks like it. I basically have a Pierre Hermé right beneath my house! 

The house is so so so so perfect I cried when I walked in. It’s a mini loft with a mezzanine floor for my bedroom/wardrobe area, I’m on the 7th and last floor and have a big balcony where I can eat with a view of Parisian roofs, a huge area of Paris and the Eiffel tower, I can actually see it from a window right above my stove, my bed, and from my shower!!!

We then went to the notary to sign the house papers. By then it was beautiful weather, and we went and had lunch at Cafe de Flore (!!!!!!!!!!!!) with my mum, strolled through St Germain de Pres, the Seine and the Louvre, and stopped by La Durée before returning to the airport.

All of this feels so surreal. The house is too perfect for me to believe it, I think I’m going to have the best year of my life in Paris.

Here's a few pics from Paris, and from the Easter week with my family in southern Italy.
