Exploring Lille

8/31/2013

Here are a few more pictures from Lille, taken while I was exploring the city (and discovering some nice spots!). Big ups to my mom for the photography, it was her first time doing this for the blog!

I wanted to tell you guys a huge Thank You for giving me your opinion about my little dilemma (here) and offering me some precious advice! I loved reading your comments and you've helped me a lot trough making a decision! It turns out that the trip I was telling you about might end up being in France instead of Italy, but I think it might be a good idea not to miss it anyway...

On other news, I am very excited to introduce you the new Serial Shopper very soon!! After MONTHS working on the new design, I can finally reveal it to you in the upcoming days!! There is still a lot to be done but the general look of the new blog is almost ready, so I'm gonna show it to you and keep working on the rest of the design as we go along. I really hope you will like it!

The sixties dress

Hi guys!
Here is another outfit from back when I was in Lille, France. I had a busy day so I opted for something simple and confortable: flats and a turquoise sixties-like dress. Once again, I added some food pictures to this post since you guys seem to like them!

On another note, I made a HUGE mistake two days ago which I think some of you have noticed (those of you who stay up very late at night. Or... who live on another timezone). If you guys remember what I told you in this post then you know that I'm currently working on a new design for the blog. Well, that night while I was working on that said design, I made a huge blunder and the blog turned into a total mess and was even inactive for a moment! I eventually managed to get everything back to normal whithin just a couple of hours and I hope I haven't forgotten anything.

Do you guys notice anything different or does it look alright to you?

A view of the Place du Théâtre in the Vieux Lille. Love the architecture around there.

At the restaurant: we were served this little mousse before our orders (if I remember well it contained beet).

And here is my salad. Salmon, shrimps and foie gras: all I need!

Loved the decoration at the restaurant (too bad I can't remember the name of the place). It was a mix of classic designs (for the chairs for example) and modern manufacture-inspired details (like the chandelier in the above picture).

In Lille, France: the hotel room

theserialshopper in the streets of lille france

I arrived to Lille last Sunday and I'm leaving it tomorrow. This was my first time in this city and I have to say that I love it here! Especially the Vieux Lille (old city center) which architecture is so stunning and luxurious.

When I see beautiful old buildings, I can't help imagining how it must have been back in the days, how people used to dress and what their lifestyle was like... And I basically start daydreaming about a life that I would have loved to have. The best part about Lille - the current Lille - is its people. They are all so nice and welcoming, more than in any other french city that I have been to so far!

Lille is so charming...
