turned 24 in Paris 🤍 here’s a few snippets from my first ever solo trip!

my friends secretly coordinated with my hotel and surprised me with flowers and balloons. i love them so much 🥹

saw this guy outside my hotel when I first got there. it such a wholesome welcome to this iconic city. ugh 🥹

woke up on my birthday to room service and even more surprise flowers 😭 felt like a dream. gorgeous!!

breathtaking...

bought the most beautiful custom full grain leather bag from @elisa_sacs_paris. Elisa was so patient with me and let me take my time to pick out the exact leather and silhouette I wanted for my bag. She also expedited sewing it so I could pick it up before I left Paris. 10/10 reccomend!!

needed to decompress 🧖🏾‍♀️

loved the ice detailing in this cocktail

I used to bake all the time before moving to nyc (iykyk). It felt so good to get back into the groove and learn how to bake authentic croissants from scratch. it’s lowkey tedious af but so worth it 😭

and when I say they were delicious… yall. now im craving a chocolate croissant ugh

no tea no shade a lot of the restaurant food in Paris was mid BUT this was easily the best expresso martini I’ve ever had

hotel gifted me with a little box of fresh macrons 🥲

it was only right to fly back to NYC whilst watching the devils wear Prada and being served a 5 course meal. my wallet is empty but my heart is full 🌚

felt like a princess in my lil bed in the sky. seriously one of the best birthdays I’ve ever had 🥺 I met so many amazing people in Paris and felt so liberated. I can’t wait to go again.
