Monthly favourites time is here again and this one will be a quick run down as I’m a little behind schedule due to severe laptop issues that I don’t wish to dwell on as it is too annoying for words. So let’s get into it, […]

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 […]
Twin Peaks 2.0 : The Return
One of my first posts on this blog concerned the Twin Peaks comeback that unfortunately was not to be. Now I am raising a glass in celebration as a new series has come to fruition and is finally here. This show was one of the […]
March Favourites : Spring Has Finally Sprung
Ups and downs ran amok in March but overall it was a good month, primarily due to the buzz of fragrant Esxence and the arrival of spring with its abundance of colour, flowers and warmer temperatures. This is a great time of the year to go […]
A Peek Into Le Grand Musée du Parfum : The New Must See Perfume Museum In Paris
I’d seen some great Instagram photos of the new perfume museum in Paris – Le Grand Musée de Parfum and was itching to get there for a visit. Luckily a work trip to Paris meant that I could see the space. Hallelujah. The museum is located on […]
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 […]
RIP Carrie Fisher (1956-2016) and Debbie Reynolds (1932-2016)
Sometimes a mother’s grief is too much. Goodbye to these fabulously talented women. Hopefully they’ll be singing in the rain together somewhere far, far away.
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 […]
Saturday Sounds : The Spoils : Massive Attack Ft Hope Sandoval
Massive Attack were huge in the 90’s and I have many fond memories of listening to Blue Lines, then Protection and after that Mezzanine with the incredible Teardrop that played on repeat over and over much to the annoyance of my boyfriend at the time. Massive Attack went […]
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 […]
