When Hunter called me last month to wish me a happy birthday, she mentioned her upcoming trip to Paris for her first international market and expressed her apprehension about going alone. Fortunately for her, I I knew the perfect travel companion… me! 😉

In all honesty, that’s how it unfolded. We both got caught up in making the best happy hour and restaurant reservations for her free time. And since I had recently visited for my sister’s birthday, I was eager to explore the neighborhoods, soak in the sights, and wander through a few smaller museums I missed during my last trip while Hunter was at market.

Since it was a work trip, we made it a point to capture photos of the stunning new Hunter Bell collection in the City of Light. I assure you that I’m not biased when I say how fantastic this collection is. I know I have said this before, but I truly believe this is my favorite one so far. And the black and white designs felt so classically Parisian against the stunning Saint James Hotel.
