Where my English friends can buy Parisian fashion

French fashion. It just rocks, doesn't it? For those who read my blog regularly, you all know how passionate/obsessed/a little unhealthily fanatical I am about clothes and living in Paris just makes that WORSE. I have already mentioned how to shop Paris and French style on the internet but here is the best place to get French fashion to your doorstep: Bonprix. It's a UK site which basically sells French fashion and is super for women, men, kids and the added bonus is that the prices are just fabulous, totally reasonable! My special favourits is their swimwear range! Read on...

Views from a bridge – winter light, low light

I love love love to stroll around certain areas of Paris on a Sunday. When the city hasn't completely recovered from the night before, when the inhabitants are waking up late morning to their café and petit-dejeuner, sleepy eyed, breaking the rythm of their sometimes frantic pulsing week of work and myriads of different adventures. So, I have already showed you my views of Paris rooftops part 1 and part 2 (it's a work in progress, more to come), but I just wanted to share a few shots of a walk I was on last week, near l'Ile de la Cité from the boulevard du Palais. I adore the architecture Read on...

Je veux etre un homme heureux

... I want to be a happy man. William Sheller wrote an absolute life changing gem here. He talks about people who look in the same direction, purely because they love one another. And he would like to do the same with the woman he is singing to. I have no words but to say this song touches me to my core. Let's all try to be happy, just by visualising it. Merci Monsieur Sheller  

Interviewing the pretty blogger: Madalynne

I came accross Madalynne's beautifully creative blog and was immediately addicted. I try to sew and make clothes of my own and Maddie's amazing blog is full of amazing resources, patterns she has designed herself and step by step posts about how she makes the most intricate and delicate outfits. It was a real priviledge to interview Maddie. Read on...

It’s NOT what you wear…

I have always loved loved clothes, fashion, cutting up fabrics, sewing them back together and generally customising clothes that I find in vintage shops but also more recent and mainline department stores. In Paris I shop vintage at the flea market, vintage markets, super pretty second hand boutiques and of course Didier Ludot's boutiques. But I don't ONLY do vintage. I really like checking out what's going on in the mainline stores too and mixing loads of styles up together. Ok, so I always end up looking preppy or sporty chic but that just seems to be what I feel comfortable with and I am HAPPY WITH THAT. Read on...

The real guacamole

I could eat avocadoes every day. They are good for you. They are slightly more fattening than other veggies but who cares, it's not like you are going to overdose on eating them, like a night in eating avocadoes while watching black and white flicks or anything. But wait. You could. If avocadoes are transformed into Read on...
