Art Basel Paris

I don’t know how I did it, but somehow yesterday I went to the Ink show at 11:00, Dior Galerie at 1:00 (and my sister found me inside the Metro! )

This is Guinness book of records material. Usually our meetups are historically a mixup of delays and getting lost. Does this happen to you when meeting family members?).

Last Night in Paris, Art Basel, Chocolate Box Tour

 

This is the week of the brand new big art show, Paris + Art Basel 

Paris is flooded with artists, buyers, gallerists just like a few weeks ago the town was flooded with buyers, designers, models and gawpers for PFW, Paris Fashion Week.

What I ate in Paris this week

I did not get this Sangria at la Fetes des Vendages in Montmartre yesterday but I should have….so pretty

Sunday was one of those classic Fall days in Paris. You cannot stay inside. 

Hôtel Lambert, Une Collection Princière, Sotheby’s

 

Some Summer nights, when Hôtel Lambert was all lit up, I’ve stood on pont Sully and wondered what was going on inside.

Yesterday I looked inside this 61-room hôtel particular or grand private mansion, built in the early 1640s on the Île Saint Louis thanks to Sotheby’s. 

Ines de la Fressange, Happiness book

When Flammarion sent me Ines de la Fressange’s new book, Happiness to review, it seemed a natural to make her into a Paris map like Audrey, Amelie and Holly Golightly.

Back in 2015, by chance I came across Ines de la Fressange at an event for magazine kiosquesin Saint Germain. 

Fashionista PFW

Yesterday I took a break from arm-wrestling the September Paris Map to go Uptown…yes I know it’s 30 Septembre, but I’ve been arm wrestling 🤼‍♀️ all week with Ines…

It’s PWF (Paris Fashion Week). I hate missing out on what’s going on. Dior is showing bubble skirts evidently…
