Restaurant review: La Marine

Paris restaurant La Marine
La Marine - 55 Bis Quai de Valmy, 75010 Paris
Paris restaurant La Marine inside

La Marine, situated on the buzzy Canal Saint Martin, is without doubt one of my favourite restaurants in Paris. It's one of the places I like to take people who are visiting me but also I love going there with friends. I went with former Paris dweller Gina while she was here for Paris Fashion Week, and some other friends.

Food at La Marine Paris

I must admit that I order the same dish every time that I go because it is just so damn good! Filets of sea bass on a bed of grilled vegetables topped with green salsa - really healthy, refreshing and delicious! I have been assured that all the food is good from steak tartare to lamb tagine, this is good French cuisine with other interesting influences. There are two or three tasty vegetarian options too, which is always a winner in my eyes!

Drink at La Marine Paris
Inside La Marine

The atmosphere is great. It's pretty much always full in the evenings so book in advance and you will not regret it!

---

La Marine, qui se situe au Canal Saint Martin animé, est sans doute un de mes restaurants préférés dans Paris. Il est un des endroits où j'aime bien amener des gens qui me rendent visite mais aussi pour dîner avec des potes de Paris. La dernière fois que j'y suis allée était quand Gina, ma copine anglaise et ex-habitant de Paris, était à Paris pour Fashion Week. 

Je vous avoue que je commande le même plat chaque fois parce qu'il est tellement bon! Des filets de dorade sur une confiture de légumes grillés avec un salsa vert - très sain, frais et délicieux! On m'a dit que toute la bouffe est bonne (pas seulement la dorade!) et il y a plein de choix comme du tartare de boeuf et une tagine d'agneau - c'est la bonne cuisine française avec des influences intéressantes. Il y a aussi deux ou trois options végétariennes qui est super dans mes yeux!

L'ambiance est geniale. Le restaurant est presque toujours complet le soir alors réservez une table en avance - vous ne regretteriez pas!

Cafe Review: Anti-Café

Yesterday afternoon, I met my best babe Anna for a tea and cake at a cute little place tucked away in the middle of Paris. This is Anti Café, a space for working, studying, sharing, playing and creating where you pay for the time that you spend there, not what you consume. 
You can just help yourself to as many hot and cold drinks, snacks and cakes to your heart's desire. There's wifi, board games and books as well as printers and scanners that you can use too. It costs just 4€ for an hour in the space, 16€ for the day. This gem is very popular and we were lucky to get a seat among the young crowd tapping away on their computers and scribbling ideas into notebooks. 
A great concept and collective space that is worth checking out if you're ever near the Centre Pompidou or the Louvre, check out their website here

---

Hier après-midi, j'ai pris un thé avec ma copine Anna dans un lieu très mignon, caché dans le centre de Paris. C'est Anti Café, une espace pour travailler, étudier, partager, jouer et créer où vous payez pour le montant de temps que vous y passez, pas ce que vous consumez. 

Il y a des boissons chaudes et froides, des snacks et des gateaux qui sont illimités ainsi que du wifi, des jeux de société, des livres et des imprimantes. Il coût juste 4€ pour une heure, 16€ pour un jour. Cette perle caché est tellement populaire et on a eu de la chance de trouver deux chaises parmi des jeunes qui tapent sur leurs ordinateurs et gribouillent dans des cahiers. 

C'est un concept et espace collective géniaux qu'il faut y aller si vous êtes près du Centre Pompidou ou le Louvre, découvrez leur site ici.

The Fifties

Glamour is what makes a man ask for a woman's phone number…it is also what makes a woman ask another woman for the number of their designer!
Lilly Daché (French Fashion designer)


Chanel / Dior / Chanel

At the weekend I went to a great exhibition at Palais Galliera, as known as the fashion museum. The exhibition was called "Les Années 50" and looked at French fashion between 1947 and 1957. After World War Two there was a scandalous change to French couture which would change fashion forever. Tight bodices, clinched waistlines, flattering necklines and flowing full skirts set the style for a new femininity and was miles away from the straight and restricted dress of the Second World War. This was dubbed the 'New Look' and designers such as Christian Dior, followed by Yves Saint-Laurent, Cristóbal Balenciaga and, later, Hubert de Givenchy dominated the fashion scene of Paris in the 1950s.

Dior / Jacques Fath

Fashion designers in the 1950s just loved creating evening dresses, putting all their fantasy and imagination into them. Think lots of velvet, lace, satin and jewels with bustier necklines and long gloves, it was the most elegant part of a designers' collection. This Jacques Fath dress above has actual seeds of corn sewn onto the bustier, which is just enchanting. 


It was in the 1950s that the classic summer dress, that we all know and love, was born. The young wanted a free and liberating wardrobe for summer, whether it was spent in the city or by the beach. Colourful afternoon dresses, flowing skirts and beach outfits were worn next to the skin for ease and comfort. This was just the start of the ready-to-wear trend that established itself for good in the 1960s.

Lingerie also makes a comeback in the 1950s with push up bras and petticoats being the essentials for any wardrobe. Plain stockings are replaced with embroidered or printed tights that went with the outfit. The previously worn corset is remembered in the girdle, which would soon be banished during the 1960s, not re-appearing again until the 1980s. 

So just a little fashion history for you there. Get yourself to Palais Galliera if you can, this exhibition is running until 2nd November 2014.

Spring Sunday

eBay top / Vintage trousers / Vintage coat / Converse boots / Rayban sunglasses

Yesterday, Lewis and I thought we would make the most of the free public transport this weekend, due to the extremely high pollution levels in Paris, and make a trip out of the city. In 45 minutes we were in the beautiful town of Fontainebleau where we relaxed in the gardens of the Castle, having a picnic, feeding the ducks and going for stroll. It was really picturesque. 

This casual outfit is perfect for a relaxing Sunday like this. The trousers are so comfortable and loose that they are great for this transitional weather. Of course I love the fact that they are floral too, which is going to be huge this Spring/Summer. 

What do you think of this outfit?

Izzie x


Hier, Lewis et moi avons pensé qu’il faut profiter du transport en commun gratuit ce week-end, dû aux niveaux très élevés de pollution dans Paris, et nous avons voyagé en campagne. En 45 minutes, nous étions dans la belle ville de Fontainebleau où nous nous sommes relaxés dans les jardins du Château. Nous avons fait un pique-nique, nourrit les canards et se baladé. C’était vachement pittoresque.

Ce look décontracté est parfait pour un dimanche reposant comme cela. Le pantalon est si confortable et ample qu’il est génial pour ce temps de transition. Bien sûr, je kif le fait qu’il est fleuri aussi, une tendance qui sera très grande ce printemps/été.

Qu’est-ce que vous en pensez de ce look ?

Bisous, Izzie

Walk in the Woods

Vintage polo neck / Topshop jeans / Topshop belt (similar here) / Vintage fedora / Vintage coat / Asos shoes / Longchamp bag

Today we went for a walk in the Bois de Boulogne in the sun. It is rare to see me in jeans even though each winter I promise myself I will wear them more. I really like this outfit, which includes a rather French looking top from my most recent daily haul from my shop. I really need to stop shopping whilst I work. 

Izzie x

Aujourd’hui on a baladé dans le Bois de Boulogne en plein soleil. Il est rare que je porte des jeans, même si je me promets chaque hiver que je les porterai plus. J’aime bien ce look, qui inclut un haut du style français que j’ai acheté dans ma prise quotidienne le plus récente de mon magasin. Il faut que j’arrête de faire du shopping pendant que je travaille. 

Bisous, Izzie

What to Do in Paris on Sundays


The sun finally came out in Paris on Sunday, which was perfect because my mum was visiting. We had a lovely day so I thought I would do a post on what to do in Paris on a Sunday.

Go for a morning stroll – It doesn’t necessarily matter where as long as the sun is shining. From my flat in the third arrondissement, we walked up to République and along to Canal Saint Martin where we stopped at Chez Prune for a hot drink. Then we wandered along the Canal, watched a boat pass through the various locks and just generally soaked up the peaceful and beautiful surroundings. Canal Saint Martin is great because it is not swarming with tourists. Other great places for a morning stroll include: Montmartre, the Marais, Ile Saint Louis and anywhere along the Seine.

S’il y a du soleil, une balade du matin à Paris est magnifique n’importe où ! On a promené de chez moi dans le troisième à République et Canal Saint Martin où on a pris une boisson chaude à Chez Prune. Puis on a marché le long du Canal, regardé pendant qu’un bateau passe par des écluses et apprécié le beau quartier tranquille. Le Canal Saint Martin est génial parce qu’il ne grouille pas de touristes. D’autres quartiers supers pour une balade du matin inclus : Montmartre, Le Marais, Ile Saint Louis et n’importe où à côté de la Seine. 

Eat brunch – This means something quite different to what it does in England. In France brunch is a multi-course meal starting with breakfast type foods, then lunch and dessert. On this Sunday we actually went for an untraditional brunch at bio cantine Soya. It was a vegetarian buffet consisting of salads, falafel, hummus, lasagne, rice and curries followed by mini cakes and brownies. Of course I ate too much and was so excited about the food that I forgot to take any photos until after I had eaten!

Le brunch en France est assez différent que le brunch en Angleterre. En France, le brunch consiste de plusieurs plats : on commence avec le petit déjeuner, puis on mange le déjeuner et le dessert. En fait, ce dimanche on est allé pour un brunch peu conventionnel à une cantine bio qui s’appelle Soya. C’était un buffet végétarien qui consistait des salades, du fallafel, d’houmous, de la lasagne, du riz et des curries et il y avait des minis gâteaux et brownies pour dessert. Bien sûr, j’ai trop mangé et j’étais si impatiente de manger que j’ai oublié de prendre des photos jusqu'après j’avais déjà mangé ! 


Visit a museum – A great activity for any Sunday but especially on the first Sunday of the month when many museums are free. As it was such a lovely day, we went to the Arc de Triomphe, which is the best vantage point in Paris in my opinion. From there we wandered down the Champs-Elysées and headed for the Panthéon to make the most of the free museums Sunday.

Une activité parfaite pour un dimanche, surtout le premier dimanche du mois quand l’entrée dans beaucoup de musées est gratuite. Car il faisait si beau, on est allé à l’Arc de Triomphe, qui offre le meilleur vu de Paris pour moi. Ensuite, on a promené sur l’Avenue des Champs-Elysées avant d’aller à Panthéon pour bien profiter des musées gratuits.

Enjoy a city park – Paris is absolutely full of amazing parks. We strolled through the Jardin des Tuileries where you could really tell that Sunday in Paris is family day. Other great parks include Jardin du Luxembourg, Jardin des Plantes and my personal favourite, Parc des Buttes Chaumont. If you fancy getting out of Paris, there is also Bois de Vincennes and Bois de Boulogne on the east and west edges of the city respectively, which are lovely for a Sunday walk.

Paris est une ville plein des parcs incroyable. On s’est baladé dans le Jardin des Tuileries où on pourrait vraiment voir qu’à Paris, le dimanche est réservé à la famille. Le Jardin du Luxembourg, le Jardin des Pantes et le Parc des Buttes Chaumont (mon parc favoris) sont d’autres parcs géniaux ! De plus, si on voudrait sortir des murs de Paris, le Bois de Vincennes et le Bois de Boulogne sont magnifiques pour une balade de dimanche.

Spots forever

 Vintage coat / vintage dress / American Apparel leggings / Doc Martens / vintage headscarf

I haven't done an outfit post for ages so here we go! I've had this dress for years as I bought it when I was last living in Paris during my degree but I think it's pretty timeless: spots never go out of fashion. I've paired this dress with my American Apparel disco leggings, which makes for a very comfortable outfit. Check out my recent guide to vintage shopping in Paris as each of the three vintage items in this post come from three different Parisian vintage shops.

Izzie x

Cela fait un moment que je n’ai pas fait un exemple du look, alors voilà ! J’ai cette robe depuis longtemps car je l’ai achetée quand j’habitais à Paris la dernière fois, pendant que je faisais ma licence. Je crois qu’elle est intemporelle : les pois ne se démodent jamais. Je porte mes leggings discos d’American Apparel avec cette robe pour un look très confortable ! Regardez l’article récent que j’ai écrit sur faire du shopping aux friperies dans Paris car chacun des trois articles vintage vient de trois magasins vintage parisiens. 

Bisous, Izzie

Paris Vintage Shopping - Le Marais


Paris is the best city for vintage shopping that I've ever been to. This is not because of the sheer volume of vintage shops in the French capital - as London probably boasts just as many - no, it is the cheap prices that you just do not find anywhere else.

Kilo Shop Vintage shopping in Le Marais Paris
Kilo Shop Vintage shopping in Le Marais Paris
Kilo Shop Vintage shopping in Le Marais Paris
 Kilo Shop - 69-71 rue de la Verrerie
There are several Kilo Shops around Paris and I work for the first and the biggest one on rue de la Verrerie in the Marais. The concept is that you buy clothes by weight. Each item has a certain colour tag which corresponds to a different price per kilo, for example: red is 20€/kg, greenand yellow are 30€/kg and orange is 60€/kg. This means you can get some absolute bargains! It also means, especially with the orange tag, that some items can be expensive. There are also fixed price items such as fur coats which start at €89, bags and accessories and the renewal vintage range called ‘Culture Vintage’. There is loads of choice and it is a great shop! I’m not just biased, honest!

Il y a plusieurs Kilo Shop dans Paris et je bosse pour son premier magasin, qui est aussi le plus grand, sur rue de la Verrerie dans le Marais. Le concept est qu’on achètedes vêtements au poids. Chaque article porte une pastille et sa couleur corresponde à un prix diffèrent au kilo, par exemple : rouge est 20€/kg,vert et jaune est 30€/kg et orange est 60€/kg. Alors, on peut trouver des affaires absolues ! Mais aussi, particulièrement avec le bip orange, certains articles sont chers. Il y a aussi des pièces aux prix fixes, comme des fourrures, des sacs à mains et accessoires et notre collection ‘CultureVintage’. Il y a plein de choix et il est un magasin génial ! Je vous promets que je ne suis pas partiale !

Other locations:
- 65 rue de la Verrerie
- 125 boulevard Saint Germain
- 39 boulevard Saint Michel
- 63 rue de Passy


Coiffeur Vintage shopping in Le Marais Paris
Coiffeur Vintage shopping in Le Marais Paris
Coiffeur/Vintage Désir - 32 rue des Rosiers
The smallest and probably the most famous vintage shop inParis. Situated on the bustling rue des Rosiers (also known for its collectionof falafel restaurants), this shop is just fab. All year round there is a great selection of dresses, patterned jumpers, denim shirts, dungarees, shorts, skirts and bags. There is a good men’s section too. I would say that most things don’t cost more than €10 unless you are buying a jacket but even then you’ll be getting a bargain. If you can, go during the week because this tiny shop gets very busy at the weekend.

Il est le plus petit et sûrement le plus connu magasin de vintage dans Paris. Situé sur une rue animée – rue des Rosiers, qui on connaît pour tous les restaurants de falafel, ce magasin est juste génial ! Toute l’année, il y a une sélection superdes robes, pulls à motifs, chemises de jean, salopettes, shorts, jupes et sacs à main. Il y a aussi une bonne partie pour hommes. Pour moi, la plupart desarticles ne coûte plus que 10€, sauf on achète une veste qui aurait aussi une affaire ! S’il est possible, allez pendant la semaine parce qu’il y a toujours plein de monde au weekend.

Free 'P' Star Vintage shopping in Le Marais Paris
Free 'P' Star Vintage shopping in Le Marais Paris
Free ‘P’ Star - 61 rue de la Verrerie
I always say it is all part of the joy of vintage shoppingto rummage for real gems amongst pile of rubbish and this is one of the main draws of Free ‘P’ Star and its 1€ bins. They also sell a selection of leather and denim shorts for €10 a piece and faux and real fur coats with prices ranging from €10 to €100 or more. Free ‘P’ Star has three shops in the Marais, each within about five minutes walk from each other. 

La joie de faire du shopping dans les friperies vient de fouiller dans les grands tas de vêtements pour trouver des vrais bijoux, je dis toujours. Cela est une des attractions de Free ‘P’ Star et ses paniers de 1€ ! On vend aussi une sélection de shorts en cuir et en jean pour 10€ à l’unité et des manteaux en fourrure vraie et fausse pour les prix entre 10€ et 100€ ou plus. Il y a trois magasins de Free‘P’ Star dans le marais et on peut marcher entre chacun dans cinq minutes. 

Other locations:
- 52 rue de la Verrerie
- 20 rue de Rivoli

Hippy Market Vintage shopping in Le Marais Paris
Hippy Market Vintage shopping in Le Marais Paris
Hippy Market - 21 rue du Temple / 3 rue de Turbigo

Hippy Market is part of the same group as Kilo Shop so it sells the same great range of clothes but everything is more expensive.So, if you are looking for good quality and well-presented vintage, shop either here or Kilo Shop!


Hippy Market fait partie du même groupe de Kilo Shop – il vend la même gamme géniale des vêtements mais tout est plus cher. Donc, si vous cherchez des vêtements vintagede bonne qualité, bien arrangés, trouvez des trucs soit là soir à Kilo Shop!   

The King of Frip Vintage shopping in Le Marais Paris
The King of Frip Vintage shopping in Le Marais Paris
 The King of Frip - 33 rue du Roi de Sicile

A rather hit and miss shop to be honest. I have found some real bargains in The King of Frip over the years but recently some of their prices seem to have shot up. Coats, furs and dresses are quite expensive but you can still find denim shorts, shirts and bags for about €10, which is pretty cheap.



Un magasin imprévisible si je suis honnête. Dans le passé j’ai trouvé plein d’affaires chez The King of Frip mais récemment, quelques prix ont augmenté. Les manteaux, les fourrures et les robes sont assez chers mais on peut toujours trouver des shorts en jean, des chemises et des sacs à main pour vers 10€, qui est plutôt bon marché.  


Other vintage shops in the area:
- Vintage Le Bar - 16 rue de la Verrerie (for high end and designer vintage)
- Come on Eileen - 38 rue de Rivoli
