London

London is a pretty cool place except the weather totally sucks.  It rained way too much when we were there.  And it was cold.  Come on, I thought it was summer?!?  July, help me out here!  I've been once before when I was 12, what I remember most is how easy the subway system is to understand and it still holds true.  Out of all the cities we were in, London has the most straight forward and intuitive transit system.  London wins!!  It was also fun to see London getting ready for the Olympics.


Sweet building facade


Adorable little truck


Color changing store!


Harry Potter (of course)


London Bridge is not falling down + has a sweet color scheme, BONUS!!


Probably the coolest boat ever.


Lots of Olympic themed ads, obvi.


Amy wore her Circus dress in honor of my visit!! Wheee!! (I made it for her)


Sian and Amy, our lovely hosts (outside) and me and Dustin (inside) last day of trip!!

Back to work in nyc!!

Paris

Paris, France!  Honestly Paris is like a smelly New York City (that's just as dirty) except there are more people with body odor.  But on the plus side I found more visually interesting things to look at in Paris than anywhere we went.  They have the good stuff you just have to know where to go.


Sweet subway mosaic art


Pastries!! Paris has the most delicious and decadent tiny cakes and pastries anywhere.  And crepes, yum!  They definitely have the dessert down.  The rest of it, not so much.  Stale baguettes?  Come on guys.


Colorful bead shop


Teal and white subway cars


Just this little tower thing, you might have heard of it.


Popcorn machine in a vintage clothing store


Maryan painting at my new fave museum, The National Modern Art Museum in Centre Pompidou.  I don't even like museums.  This is serious.


Awesome installation


Circular painting


Some art is just the best


My next couch, Teeny would love this!


Colorful restaurant stools


Super cliché and tasty french macaroons


Fancy blanket store


Patterned straw mats


Finger puppet store!!


Some interesting figurines


Fancy man things!


Serious candy business


Supercool giant textile art installation at Versailles!  Not gonna lie Versailles is cool because it's ridiculous how extravagantly they lived and how GIANT the grounds are.  But let's be honest, this fabric sculpture was totally the best part.

Last stop: London, England here we come!!
