It’s funny how it happens every year at exactly the same time: the moment the autumnal equinox occurs, instantly the temperatures drop and the rain takes over the city. There's a slow pace in Paris now, the parks are empty and peaceful, the golden light is fleeting.

There are myriad trends for this autumn: extravagant volume; ballooning sleeves; cardigans worn with everything; seventies-hued denim; trouser suits and pencil skirts; check tights; skirts, coats, and headscarves where checks were worn altogether such as at Burberry; wild fringes on coats, bags and dresses; and so on ...
Lately I have focused my attention towards my hair because I felt it dryer than normal and more damaged―partly because of the fact that it's been a hotter summer than normal, and partly because of the chlorine water of the pool and the salty water from the sea.
I’ve been following an account lately named @chateauvictorlacoste that takes my mind away instantly and makes me travel like no one other account does. Holidays by the pool in a château in Provence sounds quite perfect with all this uncertainty in the world. Early mornings waking up seeing the sun rising, the smell of pines and fresh coffee and the crickets singing their serenade...
These past summer days, I have been lounging around reading Find Me by André Aciman, the author of Call me By your Name. Contrary to what everyone expected, he wrote on twitter: “I would actually love a sequel to Call Me By Your Name. In fact I am writing one.”
You may have seen this list here or maybe somewhere else, maybe not in the same format, or maybe some pieces have changed, but one thing for sure: there are a few items in my wardrobe that are the most essential, pieces that I rotate all my outfits around, pieces that create endless variety for styling. Here is this season's new essentials shopping list...
THESE DAYS I feel softly and almost imperceptibly, the transition between summertime and autumn. One moment, it feels like summer is endless and the next moment, the Parisian sky is covered with dark grey clouds and a chilly wind. Most Parisians are already back from holidays ...
This week's Style Icon is American Actress and model Marisa Berenson. Born Vittoria Marisa Schiaparelli Berenson in 1947, she was the granddaughter of couturier Elsa Schiaparelli. She has appeared on the covers of Vogue and Time, and won the National Board of Review Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role as Natalia Landauer in the 1972 film Cabaret. Berenson was one of the highest paid models in the world in the sixties.
The Dior Bobby is everywhere. The new Dior icon bag is called Bobby, after Monsieur Dior’s beloved canine companion, and the design is very classic and curated, with its clean lines and strict colour palette of black, cream, camel and blue Dior Oblique canvas.
Somehow lately, the conversations have often shifted towards cars. It is true that here in Paris the traffic has increased since the Coronavirus Crisis, as instead of taking public transportation more Parisians have taken their weekend cars out during the week as well ...
Timeless bags, such as Hermès Kelly bag, are an endless source of inspiration for styling. Classics such as this have no need for publicity, but there is a Mini Trend on Instagram lately of this beautiful bag ...
One of the perks of staying in Paris while everybody else is on holiday (besides, of course, having the city for yourself and enjoying a more calm rhythm) is that many of the places you have a hard time getting a reservation at may finally have some available tables. That is why I wanted to share with you a beautiful place where you could have the most amazing and timeless culinary experience.
A fashion icon imbued with the most timeless classically chic style, Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy is still one of the most inspiring examples of style. Classic silhouettes, clean lines, and solid colors are part of her signature style ...
This summer I have been mostly wearing earthy tones, linens and lighter shades, and effortless pieces―not following trends, but always choosing wearable pieces every season. As I've been spending hours going through the most popular and mentioned brands this season, I wanted to share with you a few pieces that I currently have on my mid-summer wishlist...
There was something familiar and warm, freshness and cheerfulness, but also a lightness and harmony in the air in Saint-Tropez. Chic people walking around with raffia bags at the Sunday market, bougainvillea surrounding windows all over the city, pines and cypress, and the endless singing of cicadas ...
