“For the Love of Vinatge”

For those of you who haven’t seen my right up on Vintage Markets in the South….Voila….see below. (“The Riviera Times” September issue) + some of the pictures taken whilst on the hunt;) One of the most ex-citing things to do in the South of France is visiting local antique markets and shops. If you’ve had [...]

A day in “EL BORN”- the quirky and cute shopping district in Barcelona that is well worth the visit and way too much fun to get lost in. On the last few days of our trip we stopped in Barcelona for shopping, tapas, and a crash course in Gaudi Art. Spain is amazing and the [...]

“olé! The Color and Beauty of Sevilla”

Flaunt your PDA in Paris…It’s the city of [...]

“Mad about Mad Men”

Hello Full Skirt! Alice being the trooper that she is, allowed me to dress her up in a retro inspired look, complete with the famous full skirt, great pointy pumps, and a adorable cashmere sweater.

“That’s Nice” magazine

It’s that time of year to start shopping for Autumn’s new Trends and if you live in the Cote d’Azur…I can help. The pictures above I styled for the September issue of “That’s Nice” with finds from our very own boutiques and fabulous vintage from Nice’s wonderland of fashion’s past…”Caprice”. The look is 1950′s Rebel [...]
