Have a great weekend!!

Hello mes amies! I hope you had a fantastic week! Mine was too wonderful for words and included swimming with tropical fish and turtles, lots of reading, walks along the beach and am now taking advantage of the last hours to soak up the sunshine of gorgeous Barbados.

Wishing you the happiest, loveliest weekend,

À bientôt! 

 

Happy Tuesday!!

Sorry for being out of commission for the last few days...bit I've been living according to the above motto: I've soaked up some vitamin C, finished two ( fantastic) novels and interviewed a famous chef for a commissioned magazine article.

Needless to say, I've been enjoying every minute of it!

 Hope that your week is going well.

Kisses from paradise. xo

Happy Monday + Un Dimanche à Paris

 

Happy Monday! Hope you had a fantasic weekend!

I'm very excited to share pictures of a gorgeous boutique I discovered while in Barbados last week: Un Dimanche à Paris. It is owned by Isabelle Meniaud, a French native who recently moved to the Island with her husband and adorable children. Given that my next novel will take place in Paris, I was immediately smitten with this space!

Located in Holetown, St. James in the new Limegrove Lifestyle Centre, her boutique was elegantly decorated by her husband with treasures found in French flea markets. Two large & stunning mirrors were lovingly restored by Isabelle'e sister and vintage chairs and sofas allow visitors to sit while taking in the lovely space. But what is most striking about her shop are the treasures she carries: gorgeous and unique jewelry, K. Jacques tropeziennes sandals, Astier De Villate candles, Vanessa Bruno bags and designer clothing by designer Isabel Marant and other interesting labels.

I was fortunate to enjoy a lovely lunch with Isabelle, her husband and her entourage and will have the opportunity to see her again in France.

Her shop is not to be missed should you visit this gorgeous Island! 

Merci Isabelle!

Absolut Barbados

Local Magazine

Here is a small glimpse at island life. The first picture was taken by us. There are lots of little beach bars around the island decorated with particular liquor brands and they are totally adorable!  Beware, they make their drinks real strong!  I will post more pictures of my recent trip shortly!!

Swimming with turtles

I had the opportunity to swim with turtles in the ocean last week, it was magic!
