SubscribeThe beaches were packed and so were my suitcases for the countryside! The herds of tourists are driving me mad and the tranquility of the mountains was exactly what I needed before a VERY busy week. The forest setting was a perfect place to try out some of my new hats with my pre-fall basics [...]

“American Retro F/W 2010-11 collection”
With all the excitement of a new season, I thought I would share with all of you the looks from American Retro’s FW 2010-2011 collection. It was the last collection I designed before I left to the Riviera! The overall feel is a bit grunge and the styling is a mix of feminine pieces with [...]
More shops please…
So over the past week I have hit to the streets of Nice in search of new boutiques and vintage finds to post on the blog and to of course share with all of you. As I walked around (in a new pair of shoes that I was desperately trying to break in but realized [...]
The Joy of Shopping So just the other week I wandered into new territory (Cannes! Gasp!) and really liked what I saw! There are 3 major shopping streets with everything from high-end boutiques to contemporary designer goodies. All offering a beautiful selection of styles ready to slip on for a night on the yacht!

My first Autumn purchase is Beige! And I went to every store in town to find it. The Beige coat is indispensable for the new season and well worth all the running around. I especially love my recent purchase since it came from the most random store in Place de Garibaldi with outlet written on [...]

One of my latest looks was published in The Riviera Times and picked up by ”Because” magazine, which I have posted below. I of course worked with Maik my favorite photographer and shops around Nice to create a [...]
I have always loved floral everything! Even though I kill every plant that enters my home…I do make up for it by wearing budding prints and blossoms for most seasons. The look is usually pretty feminine and of course a bit retro. The dress I am wearing above is from the 1970′s and has all [...]
A retro glam Autumn is nearly upon us and as I pack away some of my summer things, I wanted to find pieces that would transition my look into the new season. I had been eyeing this silk gingham dress at Caprice Vintage since the beginning of Spring and since seeing Christopher Kane’s take on [...]
“No jumping on the Bed”
Since I was young I have been crazy about Christian Lacroix! For years I dreamt of dancing in mustard colored dresses or being married in bustled organza with big giant bows. I was shocked to hear he was in trouble and nearly fell over when I heard the “B” word! I can’t even believe that [...]
