Galentine's in Paris

At 4th& Reckless we are all about females celebrating females! To celebrate Galentine’s day we took two of our favourite bloggers, @emilycocklin & @georgiawhite to the city of love, Paris. What better way to spend Galentine’s than indulging on carbs and wine for three days! See what we got up to on our first influencer trip and some of my favourite places to go in Paris.

 

Day 1

The first day myself and Olivia spent the day exploring the best insta-worthy locations to shoot our latest collection. Every street you turn on is beautiful but some of my fave locations are, Palais Royal, Saint Germain, Le Marais and around the Eiffel Tower.

 

 

 

Walking around Paris can be exhausting so out first stop was back to our fave restaurant – Pink Mamma. Be prepared to queue for a spot in the famous greenhouse terrace. The restaurant opens at 12pm and by 11.50 the queue was already down the street. The truffle pasta is an absolute MUST.

 

Location: Pink Mamma 

 

We stayed in an air bnb which was literally a 10 second walk to the Champs-Élysées. Trying to live our best Parisian life, we picked up some roses, rose and of course a baguette.

 

 

Day 2

Our first stop with Emily and Georgia was straight to a Parisian café, Le Café Blanc. In a perfect location next to the Louvre, French onion soup and fries all round please!

 

 Location: Le Cafe Blanc

 

It was a rainy afternoon so we headed into the Louvre. We shot our new collection amongst French sculptures in the Richelieu Wing. Georgia is wearing our Tula Suit in Grey and Emily is wearing our Nolan Suit in Navy. 

 

 

At night we went to the lively Israeli restaurant – Balagan. We shared a few dishes off the menu because we wanted to try everything! The focaccia bread is a must, it was so good we would have been happy just eating bread and wine all night!  The night ended with their famous snickers desert, which was thrown on to the table (no plates!) and covered in caramel – definitely an instagramable moment.

 

Location: Balagan

Day 3

Who doesn’t love a bit of co-ordination? The girls looked a cream dream in our new collection. Georgia wore our Kennedy set and Emily our Milo suit.

 

 

For lunch we headed to the famous Ralphs, the restaurant is located inside the stunning Ralph Lauren building in the heart of picturesque Saint Germain. After a long morning of shooting we all treated ourselves to a burger, a definite 9/10 so good!!

 

Location: Ralphs

 

We spent the afternoon shooting our next looks, Emily is wearing our new collection camel Pascal blazer and short set. Georgia’s pinstripe blazer and skirt will be launching at the end of feb so keep your eyes peeled for it!

 

 

Getting glam for our last night in Paris! We shot our fave valentine’s day dresses. Emily is wearing our VICTORIA leather mini dress and Georgia our belted ESME mini dress.

 

 

For our last night we headed to Victoria. I absolutely love this place, it’s a restaurant and club all in one. Booking is essential and I would recommend going around 10pm, the atmosphere is amazing and the music is so good!

 

 

Location: Victoria Paris 

 

Day 4

We were nursing some sore wine heads on our last morning. Pizza and a full fat coke was the only cure! We went to a cute restaurant behind the Eiffel Tower before shooting our final looks of the trip.

 

 

The girls are wearing our new essential suits. Perfected to fit, our new Tula trousers are the perfect high waist slim leg trouser. The Tula blazer is an oversized double breasted blazer that you can pretty much wear with anything! Take it from day to night, our Tula suit will be your wardobe essential for life.

 

 

We ended the trip with a coffee and a Nutella crepe, what could be better! For more behind the scenes of the trip take a look at our Paris highlights on instagram xo
