Pieces of Paris…
There is nothing more French than a unique hat or pretty little fascinator to wear to a wedding, an equestrian event or a chic party. A chance encounter in the Marais at Johanna’s boudoir boutique literally had me squealing with delight. How had I not known about this gem 9 years ago when I was…
I have no idea how to begin this article…if possible it would be with a very satisfied look on my face. Oh wait here I found it : When people ask me what I miss most about home in the USA, I used to say, the lobster. But I don’t have to say that anymore!…
An « Epicerie » in French is an entire concept. For some time now it has technically been the mini mart down on the corner where you can grab some milk that you forgot at the market and don’t have time to go farther. But historically, an Epicerie has been more than that. If translated literally an…

Kate Spade, the queen of Fun New York fashion, has taken the leap over the « pond » (the Atlantic ocean) and snagged a very chic address on rue Saint Honoré, in the heart of Paris, and on one of THE best shopping streets in the City of Light. I found myself with five minutes to spare…
My apologies for the long hiatus (a month and a half) since last posting. Life was extra delicious and I wanted to enjoy it without the distraction of the blog. But I must share with you the lovely moment I had at the Grand Hôtel du Palais Royal earlier in the summer. A cocktail party…
I walked by this darling address, Le Salon De Quartier, the day it opened in March 2017. It immediately drew me over to peer through its vast windows. So light, airy yet cozy inside. I am not all that loyal to any particular hair salon. I know some women are but I get me hair cut…
