Lo and behold - I’m already back in Paris. And I do realise I move around faster than I write, which is really more a polite way of pointing out that you consume too much, and a lot more than you create, Penelope. Not that I deserve such niceties, though while I work on this I still thought i’d share my purchases as we are on un budget here this week.

Writing The Italian Intermission made me feel like I needed a break from writing about him. I’m no snowflake, I don’t think, and mind you it has been a few weeks since.. though it still does make me feel a little sad revisiting it.
I’m also inherently basic and simply wanted to tell you about what I bought, just like all the other girls do on my algorithm. Though with maybe what I thought I could have bought something nice with, all went to incidentals really. Wine, and “incidentals” as you’ll read. Including:
Aforementioned Corpus deoderant (fucking amazing) from Oh My Cream, and uniforme noir from Uniqlo Homme (sweater + demin) that I purchased upon landing, “after catching my reflection, cursing the trunk of checked luggage I was dragging.. full of what had suddenly translated to rags in Parisian.” You’ll recall from Everything is a Mission if you read it.
Phone screen. No link, obviously various locations. The second time in less that a year that this has happened to me in Paris. $200 down the drain.
A vintage Andy Johns bomber jacket, which some may have spotted in my stories if you follow me on Instagram that I found at a flea market, one Sunday hungover in the 10th that I was certain was going to financially ruin me after the previous unforeseen circumstance. Still I took it home and I have to say made my trip.
I also began flirting with an Alpha Industries bomber i’d wanted for ages shortly after Aurelien dumped me, which I found for almost next to nothing at Hippy Market, the one in Arts et Metiers.
And just a few bits and pieces from Citypharma, because we have cosmetics at home:
La Roche Posay Cicaplast Baume obviously.
Caudalie VinoClean Cleansing Foam
Marvis Toothpaste in Whitening Mint
Inava Toothbrush in the same colour as my Corpus deodorant because i’m a little bit OCD like that.
Innoxa Blue Formula Moisterising Eyedrops, and lastly
MycoHydralin Clotrimazole 1% + Econazole LP 150mg Sandoz Suppository combination. Because that’s what happens to my body when a boy starts to become bad for me. Even before I know it yet.
Plus a tonne of food and drink, cigarettes and gallery tickets etc and which I’ll put in another post about where I ate and what I did. X
