Athens !

22 Sunday Jun 2014

Athens

Next month my precious friend will be leaving Paris and the European old continent to start a new life with her American boy in San Francisco. We decided to meet in Athens to enjoy all the things we like to do, kind of a last week-end before she flies away.

As planned, and after a 50 min taxi ride from the airport, we met on a Friday night directly at the hotel. We stayed at the Ledra ex.Marriot Hotel which we chose for its location, pool view on the Acropolis and fair price. We woke up the next morning at 9am, got ready and started the day with a fresh orange juice on the rooftop pool to plan the day. The pool was just like on the pictures of trip advisor, not disappointing, not astonishing. Two hours later and already a little more tanned by the greek sunlight we were ready to go to the city.

Impression: Beautiful daylight, warm atmosphere, soothing feeling, full-flavored cuisine. What a nice city ! We had a wonderful time in between the archeological sites, the jewels shopping in Plaka, the roof top bars with amazing view on the Acropolis, the spontaneous visits of churches, the search for the perfect spartiates shoes, the Fredoccino (ice coffee), and visits of museums. If you are looking for a city trip destination with reasonable flight tickets price from Paris and Zurich, Athens will not disappoint you. The food is also very affordable which adds even more flavor to the trip !

Tip: The Lonely planet guide Athens in 4 days was quite helpful to see the most in a long week-end time, we liked most of the suggestions and explanations (sometimes more interesting that the one given on the sites, too much about technical aspects).

Fork&Bottle

This saturday my boyfriend and I met for lunch with a french couple and their 2 years old son at Fork&Bottle. We had the saturday Gastropub menu which offers pretty good british style cuisine. We also liked the friendly atmosphere and can imagine it being a nice place to chill in summer as there is plenty of green area around as well as a beer garden. The prices are reasonable especially if compared with average high prices in Zurich. If you are looking for a kid friendly place to meet up with friends around honest food, Fork&Bottle will not disappoint you. Next time we will try the sunday brunch with homemade blueberry pancakes !

Fork & Bottle – Zurich’s new “urban oasis on the park”.

Allmendstrasse 20, 8002 Zürich, Switzerland – 044 201 18 17 mike@forkandbottle.ch

J’adore !! Hiving room

Hiving room; decoration; vintage

Bonjour ! This post is about top vintage decoration, I would like to introduce you to Caroline who I used to work with in a previous “life” in Paris. I say life because I see that both of our routes has changed quite a lot since then. Caroline escaped the advertising & business world to do what I think she truly loves and is so talented for : design, vintage decoration, imagining rooms setting with flair.  She has made her dream job come true and created her little company in Paris. Hiving room is now a top address if you wish to create a very personalized decoration. Decoration is about look and feel, so see below some inspiration given by Caroline or visit her site www.hivingroom.com. Love it too ?

The dream closet case

A Chanel bag, an island in the kitchen and a dream closet. Some of the unconfessed goals of women. Here some inspiration for a dream closet, Elika Gibbs’s wardrobe management service, and a glance at celebrities closets.

Sex and the City 2

Do you know that you can hire someone to manage your closet ? They are women sooo busy with soooo many clothes that can use very well the services of a wardrobe coach. Practical Princess is a company pioneer is this new fashion niche. So if your wardrobe is huge and full but you still have nothing to wear not worth it if you have a PAX though you might want to check what Elika Gibbs’s is doing for her clients.

Elika Gipps

… as a stylist at her dress and hire shop “Bodie and Gibbs” … Elika Gibbs spent seven years transforming women of all shapes and sizes into a goddess for one night of their lives, when they wore the fabulous dresses she hired out. This in turn lead to those clients asking her to help them privately, taking them shopping, and re-organising and revamping their wardrobes.It was the chaos and clutter that she found in everyone’s houses that made Elika realise that there was a huge gap in the market, and it needed to be filled, urgently. A unique business was born. Today, Elika Gibbs is the linch pin of some of the world’s most influential women, whose lives would not begin to work without her organisational input.

This is the closet of a famous designer of shoes and handbags (click the picture to be directed to the video).

My closet rules ?

Order by color is a good tip, order by sleeve length is also helping in morning rush, not mixing (dirty) shoes with clothes, and hang clothes as much as possible (even jumpers). This is my little closet. A dream one hey ? No ?

CHIC & EASY, It is Sunday…

Sunday mood, everything is ok, just because it is Sunday.
Beauty sleep, champagne with strawberries, soft clothes on, going up to the montains, or to the closest beach, try knitting, canceling all plans ? What is your nicest sunday ?

Bio lavender lemonade, champagne or shake ? Cheers !

Soft lila blanket Le grand comptoir, grey fur trapper from Scoop NYC, and boots with stars from Anniel.

KNITTING IS THE NEW YOGA

Learning how to knit gets easy with the tutorials and free patterns from Wool and the gang. Maybe you end up being a wool hat designer like Mischa Lampert, Mischa is a designer living in in New-York, she is from Holland and she makes beautiful hat.

Trying Mischa Lampert hat. MANIFESTO diary. What? Knitting is not your thing ?

THE CLOSEST BEACH …

Deauville, 2 hours away from Paris when no traffic

Coney Island Beach, Brooklyn, New-York
