hi hello how's it going it's Lena welcome back to my channel hello from P I hope you're doing well if you've seen some my other content I've been to Paris a good amount of times and I feel like I've covered a lot of the touristy ground so I wanted to make a video today that has like a little bit more of a theme to it and I was like it would be really cool if I made a video that was experiencing Paris like a local so I texted several of my Parisian friends like French friends that either were born here or have lived here their whole adult life and kind of asked them like what they would do on their ideal Weekend in Paris and took some suggestions and made a little itinerary obviously this really depends on who you're asking there's a million ways you can do Paris I'm obviously primarily asking people who are in their like 20s and 30s and bit artsier creative but I feel like a lot of the suggestions I got are like in the 3rd in the fourth the 10th 11th are deal wise it is rainy and gloomy as hell because it's fall in Paris so obviously no surprise there so I'm excited to check out some stores and restaurants and cafes and bars it's perfect timing because two friends are visiting from New York just one right after each other Ashley and Gabby so they will be coming with me which is perfect because I get to do this with them and explore a little bit more Paris you know see some spots that I've loved in the past as well as just take some racks from some friends who actually are from here I'm excited to go on a little Parian adventure and I wanted to show you guys the jewelry I'm wearing I'm wearing all of Monica Vater and I'm obsessed with these pieces they're so beautiful and it's this incredible sustainable brand I truly have loved this jewelry for years and I got some new pieces that I want to show you guys all pieces are made with 100% recycled 18 karat gold or sterling silver silver and they often feature different ethically sourced gemstones pearls and diamonds they also have a really cool repair and rewear program to prolong the life of your pieces so you can wear them more and buy less and the packaging it came from is made of recycled materials and also is recyclable which we love so today I'm wearing several pieces from them for one this Wishbone bangal is one of my absolute favorite pieces I wear this almost daily like how damn cool is that and then I have the signature link Bingle on as well the de a do Rings which I stacked I think they're super fun the Lagoon open ring again very cool I love the texture it has and the kind of curved lines to the design and then I'm wearing the Kate Young large hoops as well which are my favorite statement piece at the moment like I feel like it just makes a fit just with a simple pair of earrings I'm like how cool are these so if you want to check these individual pieces out they will of course be linked down below as well as a link to Monica vator if you want to check out their other jewelry and I have a little discount for you guys if you use Alena 20 you get 20% off your order which is amazing especially with the holidays around the corner so definitely check them out down below and on that note I think I need to put on a warmer sweater cuz like I said it's it's quite chilly out there and let's go explore a little bit of Paris shall we from PA I have Ashley with me today visiting I just popped over from London you want to pop up some do eat some good food do some exploring it's a bit rainy so it's not ideal weather we're making the most of it and so let's see Paris like a local w Wait that's so good what you say it's one of the best yeah it's incredible not to be dramatic or anything but that might be one of the best kind of shots we' ever had in Paris I mean if a bakery has been opened since 1875 they've got to be doing something right and next up of course is coffee there's this really cool concept Cafe called Bono Jacob which is just right around the corner it has this great selection of books and magazines and of course incredible coffee what you looking at you know John LCA tamori of course really beautiful black and white prints I'm like okay now I need an apartment of my own like having one of these is so cool like wow oh great art to frame my favorite activity in Paris biking around and I love the lime bikes cuz she's electric not sponsored okay but for real biking around the city is one of my favorite pastimes personally it's really the only way I get around I love the line bikes cuz they're electric so they are so much fun to ride and it's just a great way to save Paris we are now headed to what's it called the room it's an amazing vintage store super cool like vintage kind of higher end vintage yeah I stumbled upon it over the summer and one of our friends got an incredible bag for like 1/8 the price that it normally would sell for so we're going to check it out we'll see what happens we'll see what happens dangerous maybe not gorgeous okay a moment ready to fight some crime I feel like a Power Ranger that's that's what it is yeah giv a very sexy Power Ranger I got a little SP I was feeling crazy cheers wow we have our the iconic iconic I dream about this it's so I dream about it I don't know what they do to their Ione it's definitely not like a hidden spot by any means it's very popular but it's popular for reason especially if you want a cheaper meal and it was right next to the Vintage stories we were popping into like literally a 2minute walk we're just trying to escape from the rain of course it's rain very rainy day good representation of real life fall cheers to lunch like there has to be another way there has to be another way there's no need to go down there this is what everyone's doing are you

shut down and they basically had to crawl out onto the track to leave which I've never had to do before hopefully everyone is okay and safe so now we are walking like 25 minutes home because also the streets are shut down anyways so we spent the day in L in the 18th which are some of my favorite neighborhoods to hang out in and so lovely it was so lovely right now we're headed back we're going to
