The Road To Adoption: Pink Christmas
My first Road To Adoption entry was posted on August 26, 2012. Today, almost 2.5 years later, I’m channeling Angelina Jolie as I introduce you to my fifth adopted child bag, an Hermès Kelly: Birth date: 2007 Adoption date: 12/23/2014 Leather: swift Color: rose...
Versailles, Le Grand Trianon
The famous Versailles architect Jules Mansart built Le Grand Trianon in the late 1860s as an escape of sorts from the formality of the grand palace. French pink marble, sweet gardens, and geometric courtyards blend in wonderful, cozy proportions against the heavily...
Versailles, Part 2
So where were we before that fashion interruption? I believe we were just about to enter the Queen’s Grand Apartment, which was once occupied by three queens: Marie-Thérèse, Marie LeszczyÅ„ska, and Marie-Antoinette. A few dauphines also made this place their...
Paris Dubai
I know, I asked you to meet me back at Versailles after the lunch break and here I am transporting you instead to Dubai. Please excuse the fashion interruption but sometimes my Instagram feed needs to synch up with my blog! So anyway, today’s report is from my...

After ten weeks on the road I am a bit mud-brained but no worse for the wear. The only drawback is that I have so much catching up to do that shopping has to take a back seat…for now. So much to my distress, with meetings up to my eyeballs, there was no way I...
Year 7
Exactly seven years ago I published my first entry here at this blog and you welcomed me into your home. Together we’ve traveled around the world and you’ve indulged my fashion antics. I’ve heard from many of you, met up with a few, and always...
