Parisian Shopping: Black Week 2020 Part 1

These past few days I walked into the November sunset, into a marvelous light that bewitches, for Paris has a certain energy, an energy that feels like being plugged in to electricity. Here, you don’t have to go to a special place to find beauty. Look around wherever you are and you will see it: the parcs; the libraries and museums—but mostly on the streets.

A Few of our Favourite Beauty Essentials

These days I am more aware of the time passing by than I have ever been before. I had the impression that yesterday was Monday, but it’s already the end of the week, and time is so fleeting.

Style Inspiration: Chic Sweatsuits for Fall Days

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.
