The time has come again to present the Fabulous Jewels of the Duchess of Windsor. Her stunning pieces will be auctioned off for the second time on the 30th of November at Sotheby’s London. Watching the Video does give you a taste of a time never to be repeated.


I am still looking for my Price charming, however  knowing my luck I will  most likely get the charming without the Prince.

Straw Boater.


It is time to bring back the Boater. I know I am biased to most things British, however you must agree, a Boater decorated with fresh ivy and roses, is well,  FAB.

Takashi Murakami


The artist Takashi Murakami the same artist whose works adorned  Louis Vuitton. He is set to show his works at the Château de Versailles. The show opens 14 September and will continue until 13 December.


In his own words.


“I am The Cheshire Cat who greets Alice in Wonderland with his devilish grin, and chatters on as she wanders around the Château.


With my playful smile, I invite you all to the Wonderland of Versailles”.


Decadence at it’s best.  Think they needed more chandeliers?
