Mama Shelter, 109 Rue de Bagnolet, 75020 Paris

A quirky, super trendy hotel with delicious pizza and even better drinks. Its a little far out, so plan in advanced and make a night of it! Their rooftop is pretty insane too. 

Fleux, 39 Rue Sainte-Croix de la Bretonnerie, 75004 Paris

A trio of incredible home decor stores dotted down the same street in the Marais. Beautiful furniture and accessories - I love to grab a Starbucks and just aimlessly wander through these stores. 

Rose Bakery, 46 Rue des Martyrs 75009 Paris 

An organic bakery and restaurant - minimal decor, very fresh ingredients and the Best Eggs Benedict I have ever had. Go for Sunday brunch and pick up some carrot cake to go for dessert. 

Bob's Kitchen, various locations

The perfect lunch pit stop - especially if you're feeling a little hungover! Healthy juices, organic wraps and sandwiches. But their veggie stew is the star of the show, its so crazy good and totally guilt-free too. 

Le Depanneur, 27 Rue Pierre Fontaine, 75009 Paris

One of my favourite food trucks opened a restaurant in the heart of Pigalle. Organic but all-american food - possibly the best burgers in Paris as well as Tacos and ceviche. I adore this place - the decor is just beautiful too. 

The Kilo Shop, various locations

A super fun vintage shop - they are popping up all over Paris. A huge selection and its easy to browse as garments are organized by colours and prints. You can buy by the kilo or just opt for individual pieces. They also have cute little jewellery and accessories pop-ups.

Guerrisol, various locations

This is the closest Paris will ever get to a charity shop - these stores (there a few of them) are literally brimming with bargains. Super cheap too, but be prepared to rummage to find the good stuff! 

Jackets, 20 Rue de Picardie, 75003 Paris

A  new rock & roll bar in the Marais. Simple cheap drinks and an almost always handsome crowd. Great place to stop in

for a quick beer or a good place to get your weekend started. 

Red House, 1 bis, Rue de la Forge Royale, 75011 Paris

An American owned bar with an ever changing, totally crazy cocktail menu. I often head here for one drink and end up staying all night. Such fun!
