Et non, je n'ai pas encore décidé de me prendre pour Yann Arthus-Bertrand !! J'ai simplement été amenée à faire une séance photo pour une pochette de disque à l'aérodrome du Versoud, juste à côté de Grenoble !
Zapatos5 rue Vicat
Last stop for now : Zapatos, a shoe shop in the city centre with dozens of cool and unusual shoes.
Fab... 6 rue Lakanal.
Today, let's make our 3rd stop in a colourful shop called Fab... where you can find loads of useless yet essential gadgets, like rubber-duck clocks, stiletto-heel phones or The Clash's glasses! Now you know where to go when you're out of ideas for your presents (and when you have a little money 'cause it can be a bit expensive).
I think this shop was perfect for this post as it totally goes with my "pop" mood of the day and the movie I went to see during the afternoon (yes I was lucky enough not to work!): The Boat that rocked (here in France they renamed it Good Morning England).
If you love England and Rock'n'Roll and that you haven't seen it yet, I think you should give it a try. It's real good entertainment (plus, a movie with 2 songs by the Kinks in its soundtrack can't be a bad movie).
The only drawback I can see here is that it reminds me that there is no real record shop in Grenoble where you can listen to good music, discover stuff, buy vinyls and have a nice chat with a record dealer who really have a passion for what he/she is selling.
And believe me (I've been a record dealer in another life so...) I know a few people who could set up this perfect place! But that's another story!

Second stop in my grand tour of shops I like in my town: Hors Norm (30 Thiers Street).This shop sells loads of cool stuff if you like dark/underground/metal/medieval/goth/etc... cultures! It also is a piercing studio.
I don' t shop there for gothic clothings even if I do find many of their clothes truly stunning. I mostly like to visit Hors Norm because of their pieces of alternative jewellery and, also, their delicious medieval drinks. Plus, they are really nice people and you always feel welcome in their little world.
The Cake Shop is a very anglo-saxon new shop that can be found on 11, Thiers Street. Here you can buy lovely cupcakes (check my other blog and you'll learn that I really like cupcakes) and other pastries, as well as all the necessary accessories to make those little treats at home.This picture is probably the first one of a little series about shops I like in Grenoble.
Hopefully it'll help me regaining my motivation to stroll through my city again as I've kind of lost it during the past few weeks/months. Mind you, I've lost it well against my wishes! Some events /people have contributed to turn me into a stranger in my own town, which really annoys me.

PS : désolée pour l'absence de post hier. J'avais pas mal de boulot à la limite du retard à terminer dans la journée. Et en plus mes amis ont eu la grande idée de m'offrir ça pour mon anniversaire :
Depuis le temps que j'en rêvais... j'ai passé ma soirée dessus !
