The best places to explore in Paris || Montmartre

Located on what felt like the steepest incline EVER! The beautiful little quaint area of Paris called Montmartre is a tiny slice of high up there heaven. It literally is high up there, look at the view you can see to the right of the worlds most instagrammable pink building 'La Maison Rose'.
We treated ourselves to a drink at La Consulat once we'd reached this extra cute and traditional section on Paris. 
I assumed we'd be queuing out the door to get a table however the whole area was a ghost town! It was fantastic! Not sure if it was due to the time of year or perhaps time of day but we wandered around this whole area as if it was our own vip village.

The weather was chilly and crisp but my oversized cream knit kept me extra warm. The polka dot tights that were extremely adventurous for my day-to-day style (but hey . . . when in Paris) were not meant for a freezing cold day at all but I was fully committed to the look!

When dusk arrived, the views got more and more breathe taking so we continuously stopped for macaroons, almond croissants and hot chocolate to draw out our adventures in Montmartre.

Me and the hubby have celebrated many birthdays together but to turn 31 on the same day, together in Paris, really was a special day :-)

Rianna Phillips X Style Diary - Unboxing the Dior bag

What better way to unveil a new Dior bag? 
With Krispy Kreme doughnuts and Starbucks hot hot choc of course! (is the answer ever not food?)
In case you didn't already know, I'm actually working my way through every hot chocolate there is available on the planet and rating each one as I glug. All available to view on this specially dedicated insta-story highlight here. Let the #RPhotchocchallenge commence! Recommendations welcome, I'm happy to travel . . . globally ha ha! 

After a marvellous time at Dior at Selfridges (Manchester exchange square), here is the outcome . . . a mini saddle bag! Hurrah! See the Selfridges/Dior personal shopping experience blog post here.
The aim of the game is to not be overly precious with this bag and wear it all the time. Far too often things like this stay in a box and become 'shelf decor' in my house. 
Not this time!!! 
Hydrated with a toasted marshmallow hot chocolate as I unwrap each layer and a nibble of the new Christmas doughnut collection, the unboxing of this bag has cost me around 1500 calories but hey, you only live once.
