On the eve of a royal wedding, we decided to take a trip to London to see Harry…   Potter. Obviously. Yer a Wizard Warner Brothers Studio Tour: The Making of Harry Potter  So, this was admittedly the main reason for our trip to London. Me and Mollie are both HUGE Harry Potter fans and they just so happened to be doing an exhibition on the Goblet of Fire, which is personally my favourite film in the series. Guys, I cannot stress how incredibly MAGICAL this experience was. As this was the location where most of the series was filmed, they still had all of the main sets still made, explanations on how they made the wizarding world a reality, and interactive experiences with all of it along the way.

Girl trips with Mama Tolle are my favourite thing in the entire world. All of our adventures have been magical, but this one will be hard to top… Here’s a quick recap of our week in Paris!

I made Mom watch the sparkles 8 times in the week we were in Paris.  Champs-Elysées &  Shopping  Shoppers dream! This beautiful street is overflowing in some of the top brand names in the world: Louis Vuitton, Cartier, Nike, just to name a few.  Fashion is HUGE in Paris, so obviously so is shopping, and the shopping centres / malls keep up with the larger than life mentality. The Galleries Lafayette and BHV in the Marais were our favourites. Ladurée Ladurée is decidedly home to the greatest Macarons in Paris… trust us, we tried probably all of them ;) Arc de Triomphe I
