I just ordered my first ever opera tickets. They're a birthday present for my mother.
I also got her some silver jewellery and a pretty scarf, but her main present was our tickets to see Cosi fan Tutte at the Paris Opera in July.
I've never been to the opera before so I'm super-excited about choosing what to wear; I'll keep you posted on that. It will also mark my first return to Paris since living there.
We'll be travelling there by Eurostar and I'm currently looking for good deals on nice boutique hotels.
And of course, the Palais Garnier (where we're seeing the opera) is absolutely stunning.
Here's a few pictures I've been scrolling through for hours in my state of ridiculous excitement; they're a bit tiny so click here for a virtual tour.
