I don't have any kids, just 6 nephews and nieces, so I am not really updated about kidswear, but I stumled upon this brand called "Finger in the nose". I think this is the coolest kidswear I have ever seen. I just love the skinny jeans and the rock and roll attitude. I kind of wish they made stuff for adults as well....
In Marais I have several times walked by this little lingerie store called Odile de Changy. They make beautiful retro inspired, lace lingerie, in amazing colours. Everything is super feminine and at the same time a bit sexy. I love this about Paris that you can stumble upon new stores all the time....
Le Chateaubriand is a restaurant I have been wanting to try for a long time. I have read a lot about it and the reviews have been a little mixed. For me the experience was very interesting in the sense that I ate some things I had never tried before. It was an adventures meal and it had its moments, but maybe I am just not sofisticated enough to really appreciate it. I had a good time, but I don't think it is a place I will go back to anytime soon....
Grazie is the new hip pizza/cocktail plaze in the 3rd arrondissement owned by Julien Cohen, the son of Merci owner located just down the street. The restarant has a funky vibe and is an excellent plaze for an evening out. The decor is very industriel with a New York feel to it and it is always crowded - so be sure to make reservations. The pizzas are expensive, but delicious....
Yesterday I went to the Madame Grès Exhibition at the Musée Bourdelle. I had not heard about her before, but I was really surprised at how beautiful and timeless her design was. She established her own haute couture house in 1942 and was famouse for her drapings. The exhibition was amazing and I would encourage everyone with a thing for haute couture to visit it soon....
I am a sucker for nice lingeri as I used to have my own lingeri store in Copenhagen - that was the days. France have the best selection of brands and stores in the world, but it can be difficult to navigate so I thought I would make a mini guide of the ones I like and know are good from experience. Princesse Tam Tam is one of my favourites. They make cute lingeri with nice details such as bows and stars. This season I really like their swimwear, as they keep it fairly simple without being boring. And the best part is the low prices....
