[5.] "Foreign" lolitas, part 3...

Good afternoon readers ^-^!

 Part 3 of my "foreign lolita friends" is all about France.

I've been to Paris 3 times now!

~* Trip 1 *~

The first time I went was quite a hilarious 1 day trip.

I was still living in The Netherlands at that time.

The schedule was crazy!

I left The Netherlands at 23:30 at night.

Arrived in Paris at 08:00 in the morning.

Got back on the bus at 20:00 in the evening.

And was back in The Netherlands at 01:30 at night!

It was a fun trip I took with 3 of my friends.

And as poor students at the time, 

we were so happy it was only €26 per person!

If you're Dutch and you want a bargain like that,
look on: http://www.oad.nl

Got a little bit side tracked there, sorry!

On to lolita goodness :3

~* Trip 2 *~

 The second time I went to Paris, was business related.

In my spare time, I wanted to meet up with the local lolis!

Fortunately I was already friends with Pauline through the internet.

Though not from Paris, Pauline came to visit me <3

We had such a lovely day!

It was the 1st of February 2011.

A bit of sightseeing - it was cold & wet, but I love this photo of the Eiffel Tower I took!

 Of course, the first thing we did was visit the lolita shops Paris has!

Baby, the Stars Shine Bright

After visiting them, we got kinda hungry!

So went to a place called "Princess Crêpe".

How the shop looks from the outside! The crêpes were so yummy!

My outfit that day, it was sooooo cold and the lighting was sooooo bad - sorry!
