30 in Paris

Yesterday was my 30th birthday....what a day!!

I felt as though I was dreaming,  everything went flawlessly,  even my favorite songs played on the radio while I was getting ready!

Unfortunately I didn't get a single good picture of a full outfit on my phone yesterday!  I was too distracted by the many things going on.

We started the day off with room service overlooking the Eiffel Tower.  Then we went shopping,  directly across the street from our hotel (The Plaza Athenée) the street is lined with high end fashion, Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Valentino...the list goes on!  Then we wandered over to Champs-Élysées,  this is the road with the Arc de Triumph.  On this road is one of my favorite sweet stops...Ladurée!  It was a destination on our list for sure! OMG,  so delicious and beautiful.

Then we walked over to find my Aunts old apartment, which is right across from the Arc, she lived here about 10 years ago. 

There's Chris posing in a picture for her.  From here we walked over to Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré.  This street is known as being one of the most fashionable streets in the world.  It has the top designers of the world: Christian Louboutin, Dior, Lanvin, Chanel...the list goes on! 

After that we worked up a hefty appetite and had lunch at a chic Parisian spot called L'Avenue right by our hotel!  Holy poached Salmon,  that place was delicious.

Then we came back to the room and took an afternoon nap.  It was much needed after all of the walking and staying up late the night before :)! 

Then I woke up and got ready for my birthday dinner.  Luckily it was a good hair and makeup day,  I needed it to be for my birthday ensemble!

Again,  I didn't get a full body shot on my phone, but you can get the idea:

Earrings: Chanel

Necklace: J Crew

Dress: Ted Baker

Shoes: Christian Louboutin

Clutch: Christian Louboutin

I'll post a better picture once I arrive back in the states.  

We hoped into a car and it took us right over to the Eiffel Tower where we were met by an employee of the restaurant.  We were then escorted to a private elevator and taken up to the top to enjoy our dinner at Le Jules Verne. It was the BEST meal of my life.  It even tops French Laundry in my book!  The view was breathtaking and every thing from the wine, to the service to the food was perfection!  We took this picture when we were leaving the restaraunt...

After dinner we came back to the hotel and had another glass of wine in the hotels ultra chic corridor.  

We retired to our room and enjoyed a few laughs and more wine!  The wine here is so good but I never seem to get typsy, it's the strangest thing!  So that was my perfect 30th birthday.  It was such a milestone birthday that could not have been celebrated in any better way for me! 

We're off to explore the city! Bonjour!
