The last few days I have been watching the beauty of fall from my cosy rustic cabin back in my home town. Being back in Paris now, my mind keeps drifting to the emerald lake we visited and the colourful forests I have seen during the time I’ve spent there. Here there is no crackling fire, but certainly these two places are a perfect choice for a cosy lunch or dinner with some incredible Parisian views between the working days ...
THIS INSTALMENT of Weekday Wanderlust is actually a continuation of our 10 Images With series, which focusses on the Instagram photography of those whose accounts that have caught our eye.
here are countless places to have coffee in New York City. Blue Bottle and La Colombe are reliable chains when you are in midtown. There are the cafés that are aesthetically pleasing on Instagram, but are misses when it comes to coffee. A wave of Australian cafes has emerged on the Upper East: anyone is an ideal choice before a visit to Museum Mile. On nearly every corner is a deli for a basic of cup of joe with a dash cream.
Walking in the sunset light the other day I suddenly realised how quiet and empty my busy neighbourhood has become. Like every year, most Parisians are leaving for their Summer Holidays and quite a melancholic ambiance has fallen over the city.
There are days when inspiration is at every corner and in every detail, but during busy weeks (like a big week of sales) when so many things are happening at the same time, inspiration is absent...
These autumn days are flowing softly with the most cosy weather: crisp mornings, warm afternoons and chilly evenings. So far the days are inviting long walks in the park, listening to the crunches of leaves, « tarte tatin » moments in the afternoon, a glass of wine with friends for dinner after exhibitions.

Influencers, editors, models have taken the streets of Paris and are presenting the latest trends in the most creative ways. If you're here for the shows or to people watch, there are a few places in the city to go during these busy Fashion Week days and enjoy breakfast or lunch.
When thinking of the South I always picture sunny landscapes, pink hours by the beach, dîners en plein air on the terrace. Last August I spent only a few days in the south and I didn’t get a chance to visit all the places I wanted to see so much.
Changed the breathtaking landscape from Ireland with the seaside in France, as am currently on a dreamy beach in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, two steps away from the turquoise water, but wanted to share a few more things about Ireland.
I will be visiting Ireland in August for the first time and am a little anxious about having to pack my rain boots and cashmere sweaters for the moody weather. It is a beautiful place, however, and has become known for its myriad of castles, many of them are abandoned or in ruins, while others were restored and worth a visit.
And it's no wonder: the city, which has been one of Europe's major centres of finance, commerce, fashion, science, music and art since the 17th century, has continued to capture the imaginations of travellers around the world despite travel trends.
