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 […]

Perfumed People : Anjelica Huston’s First Perfumes …
“My first perfume was Blue Grass. I loved the bottle, with the flying turquoise horse with flowers in its mane. Then Mum gave me Diorissimo, which smelled like lily of the valley. Mum wore Chanel No. 5 and later, Guerlain‘s Shalimar, which was exotic and […]
Frock Up Ladies : Cannes Film Festival Is Here : Day One
The 68th Cannes Film Festival feels close in proximity but yet oh so far away. I do have a friend who is in attendance who will get to see all of the films well ahead of us regular folk. Lucky him. It was refreshing to see that […]
Catherine Deneuve : “There are no longer any stars in France.”
“There are no longer any stars in France. A star is someone who should be seen a little and then remain discreet, reserved. With the introduction of the digital age, the intrusion is into everything, everywhere and all the time, … We see a huge amount […]
