I am finding that I tend to be a very sensorial person, scents and tastes are easy to identify for me and a flavor from the past can evoke memories that are as strong as the moment they actually happened. For instance, this past week, I found a bag of Swedish crisp breads that my […]
For some reason I am stuck on the topic of shoes….yesterdays were fun and fanciful. Todays are equally fun and fanciful but you can actually wear them!
Roger Vivier, an innovative shoe designer influencing heel and toe shapes on women’s shoes has been a fixture in the fashion world for years. While working for Christian Dior […]
Le Bon Marché, considered the world’s first department store, offering “the good market” or “the good deal” was founded in 1838 by Aristide Boucicaut.

Today, we are going to walk a few blocks towards Concord (the big ferris wheel should be straight ahead) and […]
The Prêt-à-Porter (Ready To Wear) Spring/Summer 2008 collection will soon be hitting the runways here in Paris between September 29 to October 7. I’ve had several friends of mine who have taken to the catwalk through the years, showing off the latest designs and fashions and it’s always been an interesting time filled with excitement! […]
Okay, so I was starting a post all about Fashion Week coming up at the end of the month here in Paris, (which I’ll talk more about in a day or so) when it got me thinking about Sarah Jessica Parker. Why? Because she happens to be a favorite of mine, and has the kind of […]
