I am a sucker for fall, I love sweater and boots weather! This dress is a statement piece, it's perfect for fall AND winter and navy goes with almost everything! I love every colours but navy has to be my favourite. If had to pick between black and navy when wearing simple work clothes or if I needed a classic look, navy would be the choice. Then it's all about accessorising, you can wear the dress with heels or ballet flats but I think for fall boots are the best, especially knee high boots (on trend) Those ones are from…
lil’ country
I love a weekend in the countryside! A good farmer's market with some pumpkin picking! And a little sneak peak to the christmas trees being cut and ready for the holiday! Red is my favourite colour during autumn and winter it feels so festive, add on some plaid to your outfit and it's just the perfect fall outfit. This gilet is fabulous, maybe because it's from the iconic Belstaf but it actually is rather warm even though it's super thin! This weekend was rather nice weather wise we had 22 degrees, in October it's like a miracle. It changed very…

Paris en fleur
Last day in the Paris was filled with things to do! We (I said we but I really) packed the suitcases, is it just me or are we (women) just on earth to pack and clean and pack? Well anyway, WE packed our stuff and headed out the door early so we could spend some time at the Musée d'Orsay. The hubby had to pay for his entry, not me as I am under 26 and living in the EU (hahah the perks of being youngish) Lewis could not stop moaning as they took away his backpack ... really a…
Paris day 2
A walk about Paris will provide lessons in history, beauty, and in the point of life Thomas Jefferson Versailles was the most amazing part of our trip! I know you think 'she is French, 24 and never been to Versailles?' I lived 3h from it so no real excuse! I should have forced my parents to take me when I was young. Even the hubby who is British had done it before me ... Anyhow it was one of the most beautiful place I have ever seen (Buckingham Palace being the other wonder) The Castle in itself is beautiful…
Paris day 1
As you may have seen on my Instagram, the hubby and I went to Paris for three days! We really needed a getaway (well Lewis really, because spending hours on the tube isn't quite a relaxing life) We were gonna go abroad abroad but booked it too late so we thought a little break in Paris would be just what was needed. I have left France six years ago now and even I don't think I will ever go back to live there, I do miss Paris ... The Eiffel Tower, the Champs, the streets and of course the food…

The hats are out
I am crazy about this coat I bought on a major sale in the summer for £72 I am actually quite surprise it has gone back to the 100's ... maybe it was too popular they put the price higher! It's perfect on top of a little dress to keep warm and a cute hat but also can't wait to wear it with skinnies and a roll neck when it's even colder! Talk about cold I woke up on sunday and it was 2 degrees around 10 am ... no need to say that autumn has definitely settled in! Coat: Reiss |…
