Hi guys!

What better way to start my Paris entries than an OOTD at one of the most iconic structures in the world, ze Eiffel Tower.

The 1,063 ft tall tower in Champ De Mars was our first destination in France (I mean, who wouldn't want to see this first, right?). It was named after Alexandre Gustav Eiffel, who designed and constructed this tower as an entry arch to the 1889 World's Fair.

The tower has 3 levels, with restaurants and gift shops on the first and second floor. The third level, which is the highest accessible floor to the public is 906 ft above the ground. Imagine the view up there! 

Stay tuned for my Paris Photo Diary for more photos!

Much love,
C

The Floating City


Venice, the Floating City, is one of the most romantic places I've ever been to. This city - made up of tiny islands (118 to be exact) has preserved its beauty as it was almost six hundred years ago. It has so much character, it feels surreal. No wonder it's listed as a World Heritage Site along with its lagoon.

St. Mark's Basilica


St. Mark's Square


St. Mark's Campanile



Doge's Palace


Bridge of Sighs


The architecture in this place is jaw dropping! Everywhere you turn is a kodak moment.










Of course, the gondola ride is a must!




Frida Kahlo entry way to a salon. So cute!




One of the things that stood out for me are the artworks. From paintings, to masks, I wanted to take them all home!






The Grand Canal


Rialto Bridge


Grazi, Italy! You're unbelievably stunning! I'll definitely come back.

Next stop, France.

Florence


Florence! Probably my favorite city in Italy. It is known as the "Cradle of Renaissance" and has been called "The Athens of the Middle Ages." Florence is also known as one of the Fashion Capitals of the world.

Piazza Del Duomo Cathedral



I love how you can visit almost all of the tourist spots here in just 15 minutes.
