Wow how the time flies by! This has been a VERY exciting week! Last Friday we ventured out to Versailles to see the palace where Marie Antoinette lived. It was a beautiful day to go explore the gardens and the palace itself. I loved Marie's room the most because the fabric that she used was absolutely gorgeous! After exploring the palace and the gardens we went to have lunch at a very sweet little cafe near the grounds. Then we went to see a fashion exhibit showing outfits from the 18th century as well as designs from famous designer such as Dior and Chanel that portrayed the 18th century looks. This exhibit was in the kings house so we also got to see that as well. After the exhibit we went to the Austrian Village. It was so cute and looked just like a story book movie! Versailles was so much fun and we got to see so much while we were there!
The next day we decided to wake up quite early to go read in Luxembourg Gardens. First we went and got Starbucks of course! That was a lovely way to start a beautiful Saturday morning. That afternoon we all ventured out to Giverny to see Monet's house and gardens. They were just as pretty as before. Being in Monet's Japanese inspired pond, and seeing all of the beautiful water lilies is probably the most peaceful place in the world! All of the flowers were still blooming beautifully and was just like a dream! We all got homemade ice cream before our trip back to Paris. I got peach and it was probably the best ice cream I have ever had! The next morning we woke up and went the American Church for Sunday service. It was so nice to go to church and hear English! Needless to say this was a wonderful weekend!
On Wednesday fashion week started! We got to go see the Gareth Pugh show that day and it was AMAZING!!! Yesterday (Thursday) we worked the Manish Arora and Rick Owens shows. The Manish Arora show was fantastic. All of the Bright colors and prints were perfect for the spring and summer seasons. The Rick Owens show was also wonderful. It was very different from my style but it was still very cool to see the designs of such a talented designer, and we even got paid! Today we are going to meet with Ana Burk, the lady in charge of everything Rick Owens, to talk about our internships starting this weekend! I am very excited to work in his fur showroom! I love fur! Tonight we get to work for another show the Amaya Arzuaga show! We have a lot of other exciting shows to dress and see this week! I will let you know how they go! But for now Au Revior!
