yes, here I go again with my favorite discoveries and musing on those parisian things I love, but just can't get enough of.

bill tornade is another favorite of mine

very urban, classic yet inventive, and with a touch of rock & roll!

my all time favorite is always gerard darel

every single item i see i believe has been put on this earth for me. gerard if only you could give me some free gifts... it is simple, as I like it, and always looks good, if I could choose to make a wardrobe out of one french brand it would be yours.
and the quality! that is what I call quality, the garments are so finely made they make you blush with pleasure when you touch. of course quality also means more costly... sigh

then there is the concept that no matter what you will always need a white shirt or blouse, and that is the concept that anne fontaine developed. very smart. and now there is also a blouse collection in black.

and finally for hair cuts, there is only one place I love to go to, beautiful decoration, cozy, amazing cuts and a caring staff, and most of all a feeling you are not in a hair salon. thank you coiffirst, thanks to you I had the guts to chop off all my hair like a boy in a 30's style cut. and I loved it so much I am faithful to you and will go nowhere else.
