Pardon My French/Episode 1

It’s quite simple, I just want to take you all over with me. I want to introduce you to all the people I love, talk about shows, share little intimate moments, talk about style, and the million other things that happen during fashion week.

And so voilà!!! I’m surrounded by some super fun and super funny people. We film, we stress, we laugh, we run every which way, we made every mistake possible while filming our pilot, and this is our first video.

The series is going to be called Pardon My French and it’ll be a little glimpse into my life as a Frenchie in New York.

Okay, off we go. Big hugs and I’ll be back oh so soon!

At Cafe Colette

Cafes and restaurants in New York are so beautiful that they sometimes look like cinema sets… Oh and the chicken salad at Cafe Colette is to die for !

Ok, now I’ve got to go : New York Fashion week is starting, the days start super early and end soooo late !

By the way, I have a question for you : are you looking forward to fashion week(s) or are you weary of it ? What kind of coverage would you like to see ?

Mast Brothers

Noooo wayyyyyyyyyy! That’s not chocolate!!! It’s style! Look at those prints. All you want to do is buy all of them just so you can coordinate.

Okay, maybe I’m getting a little carried away. If you live in New York, maybe you know these super trendy Mast Brothers chocolates made in Brooklyn by two very bearded men and distributed to all the chicest coffee shops in NYC. When I first saw them, I was just a little annoyed by those $8 tablets that danced around in all my favorite places. And since I’m more snobby than the snobbiest of snobs, I snubbed them.

Well, as you can see, the chocolate won : one day I saw the bar with the fancy anchor design and I couldn’t resist all of the beauty in the packaging. I bought one, had a taste, and really, the blend of chocolate, salt and almond made me fall head over heels. Like Rachel Zoe said, I died.

I suppose I should add for full disclosure that I’m totally addicted to chocolate, so it doesn’t take much. At the Studio, there are some who understand that bringing me a bar of chocolate is the best way to bribe me. So all that said, last time I was in Brooklyn, I went looking for this goodness at the source.

Here’s a few photos of their awesome boutique (and you can see their chocolate “factory” in the background, which is far less frightening than Willy Wonka’s). And on that, I’ll let you go.

I have to go ease my chocolaty conscience with some yoga.

Morning at Piper’s

Today, I’m bringing you on a quick tour of the amazing Piper Perabo’s apartment (who plays a super sexy agent with the CIA in the series Covert Affairs).

We met on a shoot recently and I just loved this girl… Her humor, her coolitude… and her apartment too!

Garance Doré

I began my blog in June, 2006. I was an illustrator and growing frustrated – with the type of work I was getting, yes, but mostly frustrated because I wasn’t really connecting with the readers of the magazines I was working for. I wanted to do something a little more free, more spontaneous. I had ...
