A Single Step: How many times can I find Victor Hugo's name around Paris?

As a big Les Miserables fan, it is safe to say that I was really excited about being in Paris! And what made me even more excited throughout my stay, were the little Les Mis related things I would find. So on the night where I walked around central Paris, I was pretty happy to find Victor Hugo's name around the city! (I'm sure Victor Hugo himself would be even happier).  




Unfortunately I missed out on taking a photo of the coolest Victor Hugo thing that I saw due to my own silliness... You see, at the Victor Hugo metro station, after taking a photo with the sign above, I sat down to wait for the metro. It was only when I sat inside the metro that I looked up and saw it. It was a flippin' bust of Victor Hugo! It even had spotlights on it and a board with a mini-biography! But alas, it was not meant to be... The metro left and my heart was filled with regret which will haunt me for the rest of my life.

I'm kidding, that's hyperbole for you!

That's Charm: Is it coral or orange?

As a good-little-church-girl I own a lot of skirts, but it seems as if every Sunday I wear my black pencil skirt. Sometimes I do try to add a bit more colour to my wardrobe, as was the case this Sunday! I wore a bright coral long skirt, with a plain white fitted t-shirt and a beige blazer. In order to make the rather business-y blazer work with the casual skirt, I rolled up the sleeves a couple of times, put on a thin brown belt and finished my look with a bulky coral and brown necklace. 


I'm not good with blog titles...

But hey! This is my 24601 attempt at keeping a blog and being 'productive' (is it productive to blog?) and hopefully this one will actually work.
I guess a little introduction would be good right about now, right?
My name is Raquel Pereira and yep, you guessed it, I'm Portuguese! Buuuuuut, I live in England in a town called... well, you can try to guess! I moved here when I was 10 and I am now 18, which should mean that I'm responsible and that I do useful things with my time, but it doesn't. Most of my time is actually spent reading, talking about books or making up stories in my head. But please don't be put off by this! Despite what I've just said and my blog's title, I won't be only blogging about books; this blog will have a little bit of everything, it'll be a way for me to feel as if my random outbursts of creative productiveness are actually useful. I'll try to keep a tag system going so that you can find certain posts more easily.
Well, I don't want this to get too long and boring so adios!
