Flagship Apple Store in Paris

Another day and yet another reason why I desperately need to take a trip to Paris. The latest attraction is the new flagship Apple Store located in the heart of one of the worlds greatest cities. The store sits almost directly across the street from the famous Opera de Paris. That in mind, the modern look most are use to doesn't exist in this Apple location. Wooden stairs, iron railings, and a immaculate mosaic floor, this store blends very well with the environment that surrounds it. While opening just in time for the iPhone 4 release the store was jam packed with appleheads! Line around the block! Not a bad place to wait around for a few hours if you ask me.

Black Rainbow Pop-Up Shop In Paris

I'd be lying if I said I didn't think the idea of pop-up shops wasn't the coolest concept ever. Probably one of the reasons I can't go a month without a post about one. The latest and greatest is the creative collective Black Rainbow's shop in their native Paris. The shop actually doubles as an art gallery and offers a wide range of products. Of course you can find the collectives label along with other designer apparel, shoes, magazines, toys, and accessories. Something unique about the shop is the quaint sense of humor throughout. Most notably the toilets that serve as chairs for customers to try on kicks. Pretty ill place. If you are in the area its more than worth checking out. Yet another reason on the long list of reasons why Paris may be the next stamp on my passport.
