wItH LoVe fROm... ParIS
Parisian influencer Gabriella Berdugo shows us the real city of love
I was born in Paris but I now live in London, so going back to Paris always feels magical to me. I love being a tourist in my own city – despite its usual rituals, it never fails to surprise me.

For breakfast, my madeleine de Proust is having a viennoise au chocolat in any boulangerie, especially La Petite Marquise.
For lunch, go to the terrace of any french bistrot in le Marais like Carette, or visit the iconic L'As du Fallafel.
For dinner, head to Les Jardins du Presbourg. It’s the most amazing Parisian terrace and serves delicious food.

If you want to discover my favourite place in the world and feel like you’re in a movie, Île Saint-Louis is a must. And be sure to have an ice cream at Berthillon.

RODARTE FLORAL SLIP DRESS
Everyone needs a slip dress during the warmer months. They look perfect over crisp white t-shirts, elegant when left bare and styled with simple flats and elevated the moment your wear with high heels and plenty of gold jewellery. This floral dress by LA brand Rodarte caught my attention immediately. Its print keeps it from being boring, and its cut – especially around the chest – is flattering for those with both large and small busts. A true winner!

LORETTA CAPONI LACE MINI DRESS
While on holiday, I always like to bring an item that can just be throw on when mooching around or popping to the shops to get everyone’s morning croissants. Enter this Loretta Caponi mini dress with side-tie detailing. Floaty, pretty and easy, it can be worn over any iteration of swim wear or even a pair of denim shorts. Keep the look cool and casual with some trainers when wandering.
