Heart Evangelista’s Parisian Finds For The Home
The February birthday girl strolls through pretty Parisian streets in search for home décor and furniture for her Paris apartment
February birthday girl, Heart Evangelista is Philippines’ multi-hyphenate international star. Lately, she has been living a jet set lifestyle, shuttling from fashion show to fashion show, wherever her pursuits as vlogger, actress, artist and brand ambassador take her. She’s been spending time in Paris where she has reportedly acquired her very own apartment.
A Parisian retreat is every artistic soul’s dream, and Heart has been known to whip up delicate paintings on canvas. In a recent vlog, she takes her viewers to her favorite stores, with the furnishing of her apartment in mind. While we all wait for her to reveal her Paris home’s interiors, we can already tell what she’s going for just by living vicariously through her, and viewing her home finds in the gallery below.

Au Bain Marie
Heart has been planning on visiting this store since her last trip, but she never had a chance. “This is the 'abubot' store I’ve been seeing,” she tells her viewers. It is now her favorite store in Paris.

It is filled to the brim with homeware and décor that look like they’ve lived previous lifetimes, but don’t be fooled. It’s a trove of antiques, yes, yet, it also offers new items with the same storied aesthetic. Heart particularly adored these ceramic Staffordshire Terriers, in vogue in Great Britain during the Victorian era.

“I’’m overwhelmed. There’s really so many beautiful stuff. It’s a mix of old and new so it really depends on what you like but they have everything,” Heart proclaims. “I can relate to this store so much bc my dad loves collecting all these antiques. A mix of old and new,” she continues. These Barbotine Majolica plates also caught the fashionista's eye, particularly the crab and the lobster designs. Address: 59 Bd Raspail, 75006 Paris, France
