I broke the bank last week. I wanted it for a while, was going for the brown but the tan was the obvious choice. But in the end I invested in the beautiful red in the mini version and I am delighted with it: the size is perfect, it is chic but not posh: ideal. … Read more
As I may have told you, last week I spent a weekend with family, far from the city, in a farm we have rented out for the 11 of us there, in Petit-Brens (in the Ain department). It was my first time in the area, and I loved it. The weather wasn’t really compliant, but … Read more
I’m back from a long weekend spent with family in the countryside, far from the city. And I have to admit, it feels great to be out where it’s so peaceful and quiet, surrounded by loved ones! It was a long car trip, so we it was an opportunity to stop in Beaune, Burgundy. I … Read more
Today I’ll share my good shopping addresses while showing you an outfit that I wore during our weekend in Brussels (and that, comfortable as it was, was perfect for a shopping spree). I had the pleasure of meeting the bubbly stylist/creative consultant Linda Van Waesberge, who gave me all her tips. Thanks to her, I … Read more
Badge Douze Août Breton shirt “Play” Comme des Garçons (déjà vue ici) Last days of vacation often mean … shopping!

All the more so with our lodging choice for this stop: a traditional inn (=ryokan) called Hoshidekan. I had never tried this type of housing during my previous stay, … Read more
Contrary to the « pool flip flops » trend, I am much more into the « sneakers worn with city clothes » trend. As you already noticed with my New Balances or other Converses. Another target that I have been having my eye on for a long time: the very (too much?) popular Stan Smiths. … Read more
We left Nagoya very early to take the train (yummy bento for breakfast! hehe) and headed for Takayama to enjoy its spring festival for the day (the festival lasts 2 days: on the 14th and 15th of April). This festival (more commonly called « matsuri ») is one of the most popular festivals in Japan … Read more
The tour of Osaka goes on! If you are an Otaku (a fan of the Japanese culture of video games and manga) or a Geek, or even both, I think you will like this post. I am a bit of all that, even if I have tempered my ardor with time. I am not really … Read more
