St Jean Cap Ferrat




These 3 images above were taken in the charming 12th Century castle ruins of Eze Village which looks down on the Mediterranean and Cap Ferrat. Eze was recommended to me by some of my lovely readers and I am so thrilled I went there. We had lunch at the hotel which has the most amazing view in the entire village and by pure luck we were given one of the best tables in the restaurant which was amazing!!









St Jean Cap Ferrat on the Cote d'Azur in the South of France is breathtaking! I was mesmerized by the beautiful old houses clinging to the mountainous coastline and the colour of the water is like nothing else! On the day we arrived in this pretty seaside town there was a party being set up down on the marina which was just so pretty. I snapped a few pics as above. If you look closely you can see that they hand wrote each persons name on the table cloths and fresh flowers in pink tones {my favourite} picked from trees nearby were placed down the centre of each table...so simply pretty!!

Aix-en-Provence


Gardens at our hotel above


I absolutely loved visiting the Cote Bastide store in Aix...such beautiful, simplistic pieces...I loved the way they placed the olive branches all around the store and hanging on the front door as pictured. I purchased some beautiful towels here.


Restaurant at our hotel above

Aix-en-Provence is so pretty! Known as the town of a thousand fountains, Aix is lined with beautiful trees and gorgeous old buildings. Our hotel was surrounded by the most beautiful lush gardens which we sat in and enjoyed. Aix was a such a lovely place to come to after the hustle and bustle of Paris...this was where we were able to catch our breath for a few days...

He Babysits Too?!

If George Clooney wasn't perfect enough! Get this. While vacationing on the Mediterranean this summer with various friends including Cindy Crawford and hubby Rande Gerber, Clooney has not only been showing off his barbecuing talent, but also lending a helping hand, babysitting the couple's two kids, Presley and Kaia!

Let's all say it together now, AWWWW!

Suri is now in town! The mother-daughter duo have been spotted around NYC at playgrounds and attending shows like "The Little Mermaid."

And p.s., what do y'all think of Katie's new do! I love it so much, I've been slightly considering chopping off my own locks!

Beautiful Paris


We visited the Paris Antique markets on our first day in Paris...they were amazing and I had to go back the next day as well as one day wasn't enough for me. I purchased some beautiful things here for both myself and the shop...


The ottoman and marble carving above were my most favourite pieces in the Palace of Versailles.


My favourite site in Paris was the Eiffel Tower {of course}...I loved seeing it peeping through the buildings all around Paris!!





We walked through the Luxembourg Gardens early one morning...so very pretty!








Visiting Laduree on the Champs Elysees where we had lunch was one of my favourite Paris experiences! I bought lots of beautiful things (2 bags full) and I have carted all the beautiful boxes home to keep forever. I plan to display them in a table scape at home. Of course just like many places we visited in Paris Laduree did not allow photographs however I managed to take a few before I was told and I couldn't resist taking some photos of the pretty bathroom!!


The Arc de Triomphe on the bustling Champs-Elysees...



How could we not go to the Moulin Rouge?


The Louvre was amazing! We went at 9.00pm at night which was fantastic as the crowds had left which made the experience so much more enjoyable!!


This was the inside of the most gorgeous old bookshop which we stumbled across in a street behind our hotel. I purchased a few very beautiful books here.

Hello again...I am back from my beautiful trip away and I am so happy to be home with my family and friends and as funny as it may sound I am so happy to be back at work! I thought I would share with you over the next few days some of my favourite photos from my trip. Today I give you Paris...beautiful, beautiful Paris & The Palace of Versailles which is just outside of Paris!! Enjoy!

Meet The New Breakfast Club

I love me some Breakfast Club (Sat. morning detention never looked so fun!) and at this moment I am loving JCPenney's back to school commercial! And I even don't mind seeing it played many a time during the day! It gives me an excuse to sing at the top of my lungs, "Don't you, forget about me..."
