André moves from street to gallery…

February 7th, 2010 · No Comments · Art, Exhibitions, France, Paris, Shopping, Stores

I’m becoming more and more convinced that it’s not Sharkozy who runs Paris, but in fact André.  No party is complete without him and you’d find it pretty hard not to encounter Monsieur A, his dandyish graffiti character, around town. André made his name as a world-renowned graffiti artist with his Love Graffiti and has redefined [...]

Mark and Josephine snuggle up for Zadig & Voltaire

February 6th, 2010 · No Comments · Designers, Fashion, France, London, News, Paris, Photography, Shopping, Stores

Mark Ronson just can’t seem to do anything wrong sartorially at the moment.  Not only was he voted Britain’s Best Dressed Man in GQ last year, but his particularly daring, dandyish style caught the eye of Zadig & Voltaire founder Thierry Gillier.

December 24th, 2009 · No Comments · Cafes, Paris

Marni and Brigitte go super sweet

November 24th, 2009 · 2 Comments · Afternoon tea, Designers, London, Paris

Desserts and cakes are my major downfall and I would happily munch on a plate of steamed vegetables so I could finish with a small but perfectly formed piece of sugary goodness.  Well, ’tis the season to be jolly and what not, and I’ve spotted some incredible, artisan treats that look as amazing as they [...]

Kisses from Paris…

November 12th, 2009 · 2 Comments · France, Paris, Videos

How would you describe a city like Paris? Do you automatically think of a Robert Doisneau image of two lover kissing in front of the Hotel de Ville or is the Eiffel Tower lit up at night inscribed in your memory?  Paris is undoubtedly magical, but the beyond the confines of the tourist trails is one of [...]
