Any time I can’t find a person’s home online, I conclude that it must be promised to a certain magazine. I’ve been searching for photos of Chloé designer Clare Waight Keller’s Paris apartment for years and it will finally be published in WSJ.Magazine on Saturday, April 2, 2016. The large Haussmann apartment is located in the […]

Although I was in Paris for almost two weeks, I’m regretting that I didn’t stay another week so I could experience the Saut Hermès 2016 in person. The 5-star show jumping competition takes places this weekend in the Grand Palais. This ridiculously chic sporting event also includes a saddlery workshop, shopping, and special shows. While I can’t […]
There is nothing I love more than when fashion and interiors come together. No where was this done with more elegance than at the Johanna Ortiz fall presentation in Paris. Johanna is a very chic Colombian designer who creates feminine and sexy designs that still manage to remain ladylike. Because of her South American heritage, there […]
One of the most fun and whimsical presentations of Paris Fashion Week was by Cartier. They rented out the Hotel Montana in Saint Germain and created different fantasy scenarios filled with every Cartier product from high jewelry, watches, handbags, leather goods, sunglasses, stationery, to even champagne. It was a lovely departure for the usually staid brand. I recently […]
According to social media, it seemed like everyone was staying at La Reserve Hotel for fashion week. Just as I put it on my must visit list, I saw that my Instagram friend David Leppan was also staying at the chic hotel. When he suggested tea, I immediately agreed to come to him to check it out. […]
As I start my second week in Paris, I thought update you on what I’ve been doing so far. The weather has been a bit temperamental so I spent a lot of my first few days trying to run errands and shopping in between rain and snow showers. I’ve attended a few gorgeous fashion shows […]
As I mentioned earlier, I’m off to Paris tonight for fashion week and a bit of holiday. I look forward to seeing old friends and new as well as all my favorite museums and sights. I also look forward to taking advantage of the low Euro to do a little shopping. You can follow all […]
This little red guide called J’aime Paris by Alain Ducasse arrived just in time for my trip to Paris next week. I actually first saw it on my last trip to Paris in October at Alain Ducasse‘s cooking school L’Ecole de Cuisine where Chanel Beauté had planned a fun evening during our Sublimage press trip. […]
I enjoy traveling but not the packing and mad dash to finish work before leaving. While I take care of all those last minute details, I leave you with this beautiful home of Plume Voyage magazine editor Capucine Gougenheim-Geagea. The Haussmann apartment in Paris was featured in Cote Maison and has gorgeous gilt boiseries and and an enviable art […]
The Haute Couture shows have ended in Paris and of course the street style looks were very chic. I don’t wear much navy blue but I might have to start after seeing some of these looks. C’est magnifique!
I’m headed to Paris again this March for fashion week and will once again be renting an apartment from Haven in Paris. I usually stay in Saint Germain but I’m excited to be staying on the Place des Vosges in the Marais this year for a change of pace. While this is not the apartment […]
Every time you think Chanel can’t possibly get any more creative with their fashion shows, they manage to surprise you. The Chanel Haute Couture show at the Grand Palais today featured a very zen Japanese looking house and garden. The structure was closed during the show but opened up at the end to reveal all the models […]
I’ve accompanied one of my friends to the Cartier boutique three times to try on their timeless Tank Watch. While I was there I couldn’t help but try one on myself which now means I want one too. The Cartier Tank watch was not the first wrist watch designed by the French jewelry house but it […]
I cleaned out more stacks of magazines this weekend. This included the sacrilegious task of getting rid of old issues of World of Interiors. If I had the room, I’d keep them forever but it’s much easier to refer to the back issues online where they take up no space in ones apartment. In the November […]
Nothing could ever deter me from visiting Paris so I’m already planning my next trip to the City of Light for fashion week in March 2016. I’ll probably rent an apartment with friends again but if I wasn’t, I would definitely consider the Hotel Providence from Pierre Moussié. I appreciate traditionally decorated hotels in Paris and this […]
