Despite having just recovered half of my voice I get interviewed by the charming and fabulous Elaine Mensah of SVELTE TV and Fashion BS. I could smooze with her for ages and I know we are due for a radio interview…
Betty Draper, Blaire Waldorf, and Brie Vandycamp would all give this show a standing ovation. I was in a heaven frothy goodness. They were the dresses I dreamed about for the proms/balls I never attended in the 50’s. (I’m such an old fashioned girl at heart but you knew that). I love the lightness and […]
I always feel way ahead of the curve but this time it feels right on time. Super stylishly happy with my Athenian Ioanna Kourbella jumpsuit I jump right into Fashion Week in New York and see that this trend is really taking off. I saw it on fashion show attendee’s, on the runway at Ports1961 and […]
Grace Kelly Exhibit at the V&A All hype and no delivery. Where is the famous lace wedding gown from when she married Prince Ranier? The elaborate costumes from To Catch a Thief? Not in the show? Are they caught up in some estate dispute? They had her very subtle ensembles which she wore to the […]
KONG The fashion label Kenzo opened Kong restaurant in Paris-no wonder it’s so chic! Dome shaped glass penthouse dining room feels almost as if one was in a space ship from Star Wars. I was brought there by my ‘french lobster’ friend from Paris. I think the Parisians wouldn’t dare visit this place but with […]
These days reusing and recylcling are great tools for making your dollars/pounds/euro stretch especially for style. Through my improv class I met the lovely Lorena a native 4th generation New Yorker whose passion is the beadscarf.com. What a brilliant idea. She takes vintage scarves that might normally be tossed and forgotten and transforms them into […]
There is nothing chicer than dinner at the Ritz in Paris. I had the honor of being invited for dinner the night after my birthday by an international gentleman. The hotel and restaurant are truly made for special occasions. We had such memorable service from the most charming staff that we were both impressed. Each […]
Discovered a real gem of a special shop in the Marais district called ART else. A stone’s throw away from one of my past haunt Musee Carnavalet, stocked with 3 unique jewelry designers, and onsite is Lysvia Maiz a one-of-a-kind-and-made-by-hand designer. There I found 2 charming ladies to assist me but also make sure I […]
I stayed at the Hotel Le Five and booked through tablethotels.com. I definitely recommend this site for booking chic modern hotels because they do include ‘budget’ hotels ie not hostels and extend good deals that are not available by booking the hotel directly. The Five is not large with only 24 rooms but the décor […]
Ages ago when I lived in Paris I truly felt at home and dazzled by the beauty of the city. This short jaunt however provided me with an outsider’s perspective. It has been a long time since I’ve visited and there has been so much that has changed-especially to the tiny quartier Marche-Saint Honore which […]
She helped me create not just outfits but a style statement for how I go out in the world in the morning. She’s given me a new sense of confidence, especially when I go to professional meetings
