one more time um hello from Harry if you don't recognize this apartment you've probably been living under Rock because I am in the icons apartment David Dominique so hello from Paris I wasn't really supposed to come here but I'm here and I'm so happy that I'm here it's so exciting I went on like a friend trip to Sicily the most special summer I've ever had by a long shot like I've always dreamed of having a summer like this so I'm just like pinching myself and then I got an opportunity to work with a brand for a few days in the south of France but the dates were a little bit later anyway I decided to kill time in between in Paris and I hit up my guy Damon I was like I know you're out of town any chance I could like rent your apartment this is like the most beautiful apartment so I'm so excited to be here I'm spending a good chunk of this week alone Ashley will be here a little bit as well I'm in Paris y'all and here are a couple days in my life got my little journey my silly little Kindle hi I'm gonna go for a little walk away to the Eiffel Tower and have a little evening so let's go wait for it I just had the dreamiest walk along the sun it was packed it was like body to body along the water but like in the most endearing way like so many cute little friend groups chatting over wine and bread and couples there's something about it I say this in every Euro video which just feels so unoriginal but just like the European way of life like I really want to take a little dose of that back to New York just like the sweet simple moments and people like connecting and just enjoying a chat and wine and the whole deal got myself some Perrier and some gummies by ideals happy hour snacks but now I'm gonna go sit along and send myself Vision all day I'll let you keep it I got my iced coffee at home I'm feeling very good this morning we're gonna go ahead to a little local park do a little Journal moment and then go to museum which I'm so excited about so we're currently headed to our basic wreck Cafe we love her it's literally a chain they have it in New York it's not a good wreck it's a good wreck if you want a nice coffee oh yes tell me foreign we're not making new friends which is so fun I feel like that never really happens in New York like I don't know maybe it's I'm just going to the wrong places but I feel like people are less friendly and then this morning I had to work quite a bit I worked for most of the day so now it's like the early afternoon and I've been wanting to go thrifting in Paris so bad I'm at the last leg of my trip I'm ready for some new pieces I'm ready to shoot my wardrobe for fall I think too I'm gonna see Nathaniel Drew later for dinner which is so exciting I've watched his videos for years and I've been wanting to meet him I feel like we excited to be in person oh it was made for you wait the jacket so isn't it oh wait I'm getting the details give me a turn can you move your arms though not super well Bobby was um successful I have to figure out how to bring this back I'll show you all later we checked out a couple stores um I think Bobby and kilo watch we really wanted to go to things God I'm VIP super vintage Relic but a lot of places are close on got this cute little black like button-up number she's semi-sheer love the little detailing and it ties in the front I've just been needing some pops just to wear out and about in New York so very excited about her I got this fun little slip I'm like you gotta get a little sexy slip one in Paris but the two things I'm most excited about are like jackets first is this green oversized big kind of like cottony button down I'm obsessed with the colorful one I love the little orange embroidery and it's just this like fun baggy kind of boyfriend fit and then drum roll please I kind of splurged on this one but literally moto jacket of my dreams secondhand leather so you know more sustainable are you kidding me I've been wanting a fitted leather jacket just feels like sexy little Moto moment just limbed our little hearts out our review of line bikes no 10 out of 10.
