The Fashionista’s Guide to Paris and London
Where to go shopping in Europe’s fashionista mecca’s.
The Champs Elysée and Arc du Triomph
Feeling more fashionable than ever, it was time for an evening stroll along the Champs Elysée. With its notable Arc du Triomph lit up at the end of the street, the shopping area is another example of how Parisian history meets popular culture. Stores like H&M, Gap and Sephora stand nearby massive multi-story flagship stores for Louis Vuitton, Guerlain, Fendi and Chanel.

Laudrée’s famous macaroons
Make sure to stop and have tea at the decadent and ever-fashionable landmark tea house Laudrée, to rest and refuel with some pastries before more shopping. The world owes Ladurée for the invention of the macaron, which sandwiches a ganache filling between two airy, meringue-like cookies, usually presented in a rainbow of pastel colors and flavors.

Almost all the stores are open well into the night, until 9 or 10 p.m., but you’ll never be able to see the entire selection of goods – the Louis Vuitton House, as it is known, is almost 20,000 square feet on its own! It’s better to join the locals for a stroll down the street with an ice cream or latté in hand. It’ll be some of the best window shopping you’ll ever do.
Ledoyen restaurant is the most fashionable in Paris
For dinner, head over to Ledoyen restaurant, in Champs Elysees Gardens. It got three Michelin stars in 2015 and is the most fashionable restaurant in Paris, attracting A-list celebrities on a regular basis.

This is a very good overview of shopping area’s in Paris.
Myself, I would like to recommend “Le Bon Marché” which is a luxury department store. Also the pedestrian area near “Les Halles” is absolutely worth visiting.
Perhaps our navigation system for the Paris metro could be useful as well. It will also guide you some other shopping areas in Paris.

If you’re not a fan of strolling in high heels, boots are a must here. It’s a lot more comfy but gives a fashionable vibe in every article of clothing.
Melody Phelps
It’s a good thing that flats are fashionable now too. You can always sport them with different clothes without looking lazy.
Stacy Maldonado
The Galeries Lafayette is a nice place to shop. It has pretty much everything you need to get your fashion to the next level.

Walking in Paris makes you appreciate the place more. Of course in places that are further from the other, you can always use the subways.
Ellen Padilla
The Ladurée tea house has a very vintage yet fresh interior that makes you feel luxurious!
Myra Sullivan
I love those kinds of interiors too. They look so good in pictures as well!

It’s true that I see a lot of people living off their coffee as they walk the streets of Paris.

I love Ladurée. Their macarons are heaven-sent! One of the best I’ve tried.
Jodi Thornton
Not a fan of sweet things like these but I must agree with you. It’s a nice dessert!

Paris sounds more appealing to me than London. Although both are amazing places, it just really depends on your preference.
