Your Strictly Non-Tourist Guide To Paris!

Last weekend I took a little weekend trip to Paris. My Dutch friend moved there about 5 months ago for work and invited me over to experience ‘real Paris’. Intrigued, I fantasised about gorging on pastries and baguettes, refining my French and sunbathing in the last bits of summer’s hot weather. Before I knew it I was on the Eurostar bopping along to MC Solaar’s ‘La Belle Et Le Bad Boy’ and adjusting my iPhone weather location to Paris. Thinking about visiting the city sometime soon? If you’re looking for quality restaurants, hidden cocktail bars and trendy areas check out what I got up to on my mini-excursion.

Drinks with Nicki Minaj after partying with a Goldfish – Antics from last weekend!

Last weekend was stupidly busy, but I had crazy amounts of fun! I hate being bored and I’m also one of those people who can’t say no, so when I was asked out Friday night and all day Saturday I was naturally lured in to both invites, (even though I was planning on an all-dayer at Hackney Weekend on the Sunday too). After seeing YOLO plastered all over my Facebook and Twitter feed, I gave in to the fact that I could kiss my lie-in goodbye this weekend. Friday evening consisted of after work drinks on Brick Lane, Saturday I rocked out at We Love Bruch and then on Sunday I made my way to Hackney Marshes to see Rih Rih - and this is what happened…

Is digital the latest style from the fashion industry?

Last week, the opening of Burberry’s first flagship store in Taiwan went down a storm as guests were immersed in a multi-sensory experience. The British fashion line created interactive, digital weather that included rainstorms and lightning to champion their star product, the Burberry Trench. Dubbed Burberry World Live, the digital experience is scheduled to travel to London, Hong Kong and Chicago. Although the famous label offers a unique experience, a fashion brand embracing a digital experience is nothing new. However, the global brand is the latest luxury label to model digital solutions. Perhaps interactive digital experiences are becoming the new trend for spring/summer 2012?
