How to wear the trench coat?
Back from my summer escapes, I was ready to wander the Parisian streets with my trench coat and umbrella! Alas! it’s 33 degrees outside. Damn global warming, when are we supposed to be stylish now (that and I work better when there’s a cold breeze outside). The hell with the lack of rain, I am […]
The versatility of clothes
In English you can say about a piece of clothing that it is “versatile”. Which is a practical word we do not have a translation for in French. Therefore I used your word in the french translation of this post ^^ A versatile piece of clothing: can be combined with many clothes can be intrinsically […]
Bathing suit choice and peer pressure
I do not buy a bathing suit each year. Instead, I tend to wait until they surrender because I hate the task of hunting one. You are no stranger to the horrendous spotlights from the stores that create us cellulite in places we would never have guessed. Last time I bought a bathing suit was […]
Trousers to wear in summer
When thinking of summer one spontaneously thinks dresses, skirts and shorts. What about wearing summer trousers? They are so chic and can feel as light as the if you choose them right.

What comfy shoes to wear in summer?
Yesterday my friend Lan Anh and I were discussing the hot topic of summer shoes (amongst talking global warming action, hiking in the woods and problematic police, we are clever girls who ALSO discuss shoes).

The perfumes of my life
It’s been a month I have not worn any perfume. I did not take them in my suitcase to where I am confined. I would not have thought I’d miss the feeling of spraying perfume to start the day or to go on a date. I have was not a “perfume girl” to start with. […]
Fashion, the planet, confinement, the future and I
For the first time since confinment started I have not written my weekly article. Today, I feel like I can’t write until I have shared my current thoughts. Only three days after the dramatic terrorist attacks of November 2015, I wrote a text about how I felt. Hoping Paris would rise again as it always […]
How to finally wear this piece of clothing that never sees the light?
Confined people are getting super crafty and creative. In France, the big hype right now is baking your bread. OF. COURSE. What could be more french?

How to dress for a conf-call?
The lockdown did cut our social life into halves. We speak without touching and see only the upper part of our fellow humans. As we get to put 50% of our being out there, why not make the best of it. We do not have much to do anyways (well that’s if you do not […]
