A Dior retrospective is showing in Paris in what I imagine will be the biggest drawcard this year. The Dior exhibition celebrates the 70th anniversary of the fashion house with over 300 gowns on display. The curation is incredible including vintage photos, art works, fashion […]

April Favourites : A Mixed Bag
To be honest I was a little preoccupied with the French elections in April and engaged in much reading and TV viewing to better understand the system. Relief was palpable as Macron saw off Le Pen in the second round, although he has a hard road ahead. In […]
February Favourites : White As Snow
2017 is zooming by and we’re now into March and thankfully spring will arrive at the end of the month which is such a mood booster, it’s like a little mother’s helper but of the natural variety. There is an abundance of colour in these parts thanks […]
January Favourites : Who hates January?
January is my least favourite month of the year (when living in the Northern Hemisphere) and I tend to feel a little on the low side. My tiny town in France turns into a shell of itself as many of the cafes and businesses shut down to […]
Perfumed People : Karl Lagerfeld : On His Favourite Perfumes
This month the gloved Choupette lover Karl Lagerfeld has taken over Vogue Paris and talks about his favourite perfumes. No surprise that his own brand perfumes didn’t make the cut. You really have to hand it to him. He’s 83 and still designing for one […]
July Favourites : Summer Is Here
Summer is racing by and I’m dying to enjoy every moment before it passes through and is gone in a puff of smoke. The town I live in is now absolutely heaving with people and even though I love the added energy the traffic is […]
June Favourites : The Winner Was A Quick Trip To London
It’s getting hot in here. Summer has arrived that’s for sure. My town overflows with people and life becomes more colourful and upbeat. A lot of the locals leave for the mountains in summer to avoid the heat, crowds and traffic jams but I like the extra […]
May Favourites : It’s Heating Up
One thing about posting favourites for the month is that it illustrates just how quickly the year is whizzing by. May has seen the tourists start to arrive in Sainte Maxime and it’s definitely heating up but still fairly mild. That’s a good thing. If […]
April Favourites : Esxence And The Scent Of Spring
April has been and gone and spring is here. One minute I’m seeing people sunbathing on the beach and the next day it’s windy and out comes the cardigan. I do love spring and seeing the back of winter. The hay fever is off the […]
March Favourites : Rome Was The Winner
2016 is flying by and there are so many perfumes to write about – I feel like I’m falling behind even though I set my own schedule, but the start of spring means hay fever season for me. My sense of smell diminishes substantially in […]
February Favourites
Well January and February have already been and gone. I missed January favourites (that was not a stellar month for me – let’s just say a bad flu knocked me about) and it’s time to sneak these in. TV : Netflix has been busy on my electronic devices. […]
Frock Up Ladies : It’s The Oscars
OK here are my picks for the 88th Academy Awards in terms of frocks and yes I know it’s very un PC to even be doing this these days. I don’t watch the ceremony anymore due to the time difference however thankfully it’s possible to […]
