FR// La nature est parfois curieuse. D'un côté ma soeur a une peur sans nom des oiseaux, de l'autre j'en suis amoureux. J'exagère sans doute un peu car je n'ai jamais pensé à devenir ornithologue !

UK// I will be always surprised by nature. My sister has a real phobia about birds whereas I do love them. Ok I am bit excessive because I've never thought about becoming ornithologist but you know what I mean.
That's the reason why there a lot of "birds" in my flat : paintings, sculptures, patterns. They add this "thing" to my flat that reminds nature and make me feel so confortable in my environment. The newest bird in my life is this mysterious one on a velvet frame that settle on my Scandinavian armchair. I came across it at MADURA while I was ordering the marvelous blue wool plaid Khan. Since it is currently sold out don't forget to turn on the notification on the website to be aware about availability here.  I finally put them together and move them from the armchair to the sofa, from the sofa to bed, from the bed to the armchair and I sometimes even use the plaid as a poncho! Both of them are quite a good idea for Christmas.

UK // I would rather say the vise is tightening than Christmas is coming! Actually gift list seems like endless especially as far as the men is concerned. How difficult is to find something for guys. I am always telling my family and love "I don't need anything, everything will make me feel happy, don't worry". now you know why ladies get more presents than us.
This year I decided to be a good blogger by writing some Xmas guides to help you to know what to ask or what to offer for Christmas 2016.  This first list is dedicated to gifts that are made in France.
At the top of this list I put the fragrance called Mysterious Oud by Maison Chabaud, a perfumer from Montpellier (South of France) that I discovered last year at the Tranoï in Paris.  I had taken tons of photos but time has flown so fast so I am just talking about it now. That's why it deserves this top place. What's more I often wear it on the weekend or when I have an important appointment. Discreet and pacifist scent. Another cosmetic idea :the After Series X-Mas Kit of Ron Dorff. The three creams are made in France with ingredients from the Arctic. You cannot find a more "useful gift" because ll of us will need it soon: after white night, after ski and after beach.
For the rest, I could not forget my dear Royalties Paris and its elegant socks that I wear for more than 4 years. The new models are cool and some are greens. I also add the new "Saint-Germain" sunnies by Edwardson eyewear that are beautifully two-tones and perfect for skiing of tanning. In the end I put this rounded wallet from Paraboot because I also love that brand and its marvelous shoes but it is more affordable !

FR// Entre le béton et le ciel, mes journées deviennent bien trop grises pour des looks ternes. Le moment est donc venu de donner un coup de peps à mes tenues. C'est après ce constat que j'ai fini par croiser le chemin de ce polo flamboyant signé VICOMTE A. Inutile de vous rappeler que cete marque est la référence en la matière, quoiqu'il en soit j'ai compris pourquoi. D'abord séduit par cette couleur solaire, j'ai fini d'être conquis par ses détails dont ses poignets arrondis et sa matière soyeuse (coton Pima). Tout ce dont j'avais besoin, réuni en une pièce.
