I could not decide on the title for this post. The « Courtyard of Happy Feet » was the second runner up. I also considered « There’s Something About Nadia, or even simply « Rouge Patine, » but, there IS just something about Nadia and it requires a magical title. It was one of those days where things just happened magically. I magically caught the… Read more →

OMG what happened!?!
So the last time I posted was a pre Gilet Jaunes France. This is NOT a post about the Yellow Vest protests. This is me just playing catch up with the few readers I have left! (I’ve been soooooo inconsistent in posting ever since becoming a parent almost 4 years ago). But, c’est la vie folks. Anyway, most of you… Read more →
New York Fashion House, Kate Spade Takes on Paris
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.

One Smart Parisian Habit To Adopt
The Parisian, and incidentally the French, are often known for their healthy life habits. They can be associated with moderation when it comes to food and drink; a less-is-more approach to using make-up; and even sensible practices when it comes to garnishing their wardrobe.

I used to say that at the BHV, you could more or less build, decorate and live in a house with everything they have there. But, recently,… Read more →
Vintage Nostalgia fashion ensemble
This look was designed after the walpaper design that is shown on the upper left hand corner of the ensemble image. A little paisley vintage pattern that put me in the mood for some fashion! Dress (super afforable!) from Dorothy Perkins Boots from Givenchy The Embrase is for a curtain, but perhaps could be used as a hair accessory Crossbody… Read more →

Repetto : press release : ballet slipper school
Normally I don’t publish posts about the press releases I get in my email inbox; this is because I want my blog to reflect my vision and my discoveries of Paris. But this one, I felt compelled to communicate on this platform because it speaks to me in so many ways that I felt it was more than appropriate. So… Read more →
