I love lingerie but I am a nightmare for any lingerie salesperson because I’m so precise about cuts, fabrics, and sizes.
I expect my bra to minimize and push-up at the same time (yes, I know it’s contradictory, but it exists. I swear.) and my panties have to be as comfortable as Petit Bateau but as sexy as Agent Provocateur (that’s a little harder to find, but still out there), and everything has to be invisible under my clothes, of course…
I don’t know that I’ll ever actually use a nail oil (according to our nailaholic Alex, it is VERY important to moisturize your nails) (well Alex, I can’t even put on a clear nail polish straight so… what do you say?) but I couldn’t help buying these Japanese roll-on nail oils at the Nail Kitchen inside BHV.
Okay, well, first for the packaging, but also because they smell so good that you can actually use them as perfume.
I’ve never been one to do much to my hair. I wash it once or twice a week and I don’t put any product in it or heat on it once I make it out of the shower…

For this summer, I am craving this type of shirt dress: white, short, fresh, light, cool.
I did a lot of research (the one in the picture is Thakoon) and tried a lot of them (I tried on an Alaïa at Colette that’s still imprinted on my retina)(as well as the price tag) but each time something was just off…
I didn’t really need to go all the way to Paris to buy a pair of Zara overalls, but I STILL HAD TO SHOW THEM TO YOU, don’t you think?
If you like them, get them now. They’re very well cut, right above the ankle, which makes them perfect with a pair of heels. I love them and all the girls at the studio do too, so I don’t think they will be in the store for long. Hehe.
What do you think? Do you like it ?
I was looking for a pair of glasses yesterday on Marc Le Bihan’s website (great selection, the stores are a real reflection in Paris) when I found these…
Okay, so I almost had a nervous breakdown the other day trying on a swimsuit in a fitting room, it’s pretty much like this every year.
And honestly, mes amis, it was totally my fault.
I didn’t respect ANY of the rules concerning the First Bathing Suit Try-on Session.
The FBSTS is serious. It can determine your mood for the months to come, and definitely for July and August, the most important months of the year.
For me, everything is ruined because my first look for summer was worthy of Silence of the Lambs (and by that I mean scary not in a sexy way), but for you going forward, here’s my advice on what to do before you go into the dressing room…
What happened to me? Seriously, I don’t know.
I was just visiting the Chanel pop-up store on rue Saint Honoré (very, very smart & cool idea from Chanel) when a very talented salesman came over to me. For some reason we chatted (maybe cause I am crazy chatty?) and talked about the espadrilles I shot a while ago on Lara and I was telling him I liked them but I would never wear them…bla, bla, bla…
Obviously, one of the first things I did when I had 5 mins in Paris was throw myself into & Other Stories, the new brand launched by H&M.
It took getting totally drunk years to finally understand how to make up my eyes.
In make up tutorials, almond shaped eyes, like mine (I’ve heard it’s called a hooded eyelid, a name I don’t really super like, even though it’s still better than in France, where it’s called a falling eyelid, which I am totally against cause what woman wants to having something referred to as falling, uh? Totally against.) don’t really exist.
When they show you how to apply eye makeup, it’s always on the upper eyelid.
So I tried, of course. I took hours trying. It was sublime… When my eyes were closed…
