It feels like we’ve lost so many wonderful collectors in the last few years. The art and personal treasures from the Paris apartment of artist Pierre Le Tan are up for auction at Sotheby’s this Tuesday and Wednesday. Included in the sale are furniture including the lovely early Louis XV amaranth and varnished bronze commode […]
While many of you are losing your minds on trashy Bridgerton, I’ve moved on to Lupin on Netflix. Lupin is a very original take on the famous French literary character Arsène Lupin starring Omar Sy as the charming Assane Diop who sets out to avenge his father for an injustice that happened 25 years earlier […]
I hated the Celine Spring 2021 runway styling but luckily, Hedi Slimane redeemed himself with the Celine Spring 2021 campaign photos. I can’t wait to wear these looks when the weather warms up and model Rianne Van Rompaey has me seriously contemplating letting my hair grow out longer. The spring can’t come soon enough for […]
The design world lost a legend on Sunday with the death of French interior designer François Catroux. He and his wife Betty Catroux, a muse of Yves Saint Laurent, made a striking couple and very much fit into the world of his incredibly elegant clients. He brought a contemporary breath of fresh air to many […]
The new fall 2020 Sézane collection just launched today and it’s full of pieces with the perfect French flair. I love adding Sézane fashions to my wardrobe because they really are stylish but are also very reasonably priced. It’s the perfect time to shop for fall fashions too since it’s actually chilly now in New […]
When I lived in Paris, I spent one of the three months living next to the Palais-Royal. I loved escaping the hustle and bustle of the city in the quiet garden inside surrounded by elegant boutiques and restaurants. Along the rue de Beaujolais and through the Passage du Perron is a plaque that says, Colette, […]
I love seeing the Atelier Vime wicker furniture at their 18th-century hôtel particulier but it was nice to see their pieces in an apartment in Saint-Germain during Paris Design Week. It shows that you can incorporate wicker into any type of interior and mix it with different design styles. After touring the apartment of the […]
Remember the Perfect Paris Pied-à-terre I posted two weeks ago? It is located in the Hôtel de Duc de Gesvres which was renovated by the interior designer Joseph Achkar and his partner Michel Charrière who found the property 19 years ago when it had been home to a bank. The hotel particulier was originally built […]
The January/February 2020 issue of Veranda arrived just before Christmas and it definitely felt like a present. The entire issue is devoted to Paris and the pièce de résistance is the Paris pied-à-terre of interior designer Micky Hurley and his family. The apartment is located in the same 17th-century hôtel particulier that had been overhauled […]
The much anticipated opening of the J.K. Place Hotel in Paris looks like it’s finally happening soon. The Leading Hotels of the World website is allowing booking for early December so you might want to plan your next trip to the City of Light this holiday season. The 30-room J.K. Place Hotel Rive Gauche marks […]
The September magazines always feature beautiful fashions but there is nothing I love more when they include gorgeous interiors. Such is the case with C’est Chic from British Vogue where model Rebecca Leigh Longendyke was styled by Jane How and photographed by Zoe Ghertner at Château de Champlâtreux about an hour north of Paris. Château […]
This week has been a little crazy. As soon as I returned from Nantucket, I jumped into styling my friend’s apartment for a photoshoot today. In the midst of all my running around, I did manage to pick up a few of the September magazines including the new Elle Decor with Aerin Lauder in Paris […]
