Fauchon Leopard print Eclairs. Perfect for when you’re having Jackie Collins over for tea…
January is the best time for an injection of creative inspiration, not to mention an excuse to escape to Paris for the weekend under the guise of ” work” And so we found ourselves contentedly meandering around the shops (well half a day in Merci, a spot of Colette and a lot of various eateries.) Completely keeping the Maison&Objet trade show hours (that we were really there for) to an absolute minimum. Playing Parisian truant felt so good ….
Making Eclair eyes.
Love Lace Space Invaders. LACE INVADERS anyone?
Walk on sunset screen.
Sculpted Polystyrene seats. Sublime.
Love these lights that are made from all sorts of Kitchenalia. Collanders, Tongs…
Champagne Buckets as spotlights.
Spotted this gorgeous traditional barbershop en route to Merci.
Shaving brush “installation”
Moustache signage (mais oui)
Merci. J’adore.
Great wall of industrial cabinets
Rather eye catching

The bathroom doors at Hotel Raphael. Old world Parisian glamour at it’s best.
I just fell in love with Paris all over again. Summoned for a last minute work trip, I decided to spend the weekend and couldn’t help but wish that every Saturday night was this much fun…….
The Chic-O-Vator. The chicest elevator ever and the gateway to many a memorable Paris evening.
The Python clutch was a present from a lovely Vintage Store owner. A present from a stranger? J’adore! Studio W
Derriere the most fun a restaurant can have. Ping Pong tables inside! And on a Balmy Parisian evening the pom pom swing in the background is truly inspired…as was Melissa’s cocktail ( and nail varnish)
An inviting wardrobe door…
…that led into a hidden smoking and games room. I wish every restaurant had one of these.
After dinner we hotfooted it to Le Renard the BEST karaoke spot ever. Looks like how I imagine the Copacobana was , all louvred mirror and palm leafed chic.The perfect backdrop to singing some bad Black Eyed Peas..
Karaoke with the resident pianist. He was amazing …. and very patient.
And another one.
On the way home. Sealed with a kiss.
