We actually visited the Eiffel Tower twice. Once, we were going to go up but there were way too many people in line and it was at the end of a long day — 8 hours walking around the city — so we felt like we were too tired to enjoy it. We decided to save it for another. So two visits = lots of photos.

Although, with the Eiffel Tower it’s hard to shoot. It’s so beautiful that it looks good from every angle, but that’s the thing — it’s already been shot from every angle. What can we do that hasn’t been done before?

Can you tell I tried to step up my tourist-fashion game for Paris? Walking around in tennis shoes and khaki shorts doesn’t really cut it for one of the fashion capitals of the world. Funny enough, I think most tourists had the same idea. Even though we saw WAY more tourists in France than we have in any other country, by far, we saw way less of them in the typical backpacking outfits. Lots of girls in skinny jeans and scarves. Granted, they still looked like tourists. If you’re not European, you never look European chic. End of story.

Parisian women, such as the likes of Le Blog de Betty, one of my favorite fashion blogs ever, simply cannot be imitated.
