As the Parisian Eye, I have to say this new collection by Cartier seduced me the very moment I first saw it. It shows the city of lights and the jeweller are inseparable, just like Cartier and the blog : it has indeed been a long love story between Cartier and the Parisian Eye !

Parisian ladies are the best ambassadors of the creative thread born from the link between Cartier and Paris. The Paris Nouvelle Vague collection is a hymn to their multiple nuances and hues, their secrets of seduction and style, mapped out in rings and streets, bracelets and bridges spanning day and night.

The collection spans differents styles that best represent the Parisian lady, from one neighbourhood to the next, from one occasion to the other.

As the Parisian Eye, I try to keep an eye on the important events taking place in Paris. Last week, to celebrate the coronation of King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands, I had the chance to attend a reception at the residence of the Dutch ambassador... And it was amazing !

What made this event so special was, without any doubt, the magnificent flower arrangements that decorated the embassy : a styling in the Dutch national colors in red-white-blue and the royal orange color.

Launched in 2010, the Dorchester Collection Fashion Prize was created to discover emerging fashion talents of ready-to-wear or premium accessories. It is the first award of its kind developed by a luxury hotel company, and those who know the Dorchester Collection hotels can easily see the link with the hotels fashion heritage.

« Words cannot do justice to Royal Mansour’s unique beauty. Royal Mansour is more than a palace; it is the embodiment of Moroccan living as an art form ». The first time I read those words on the Royal Mansour website, I wondered how it would be to actually stay at « more than a palace »...

Now that I have experienced it, I could not agree more : there are no words or pictures to describe the Royal Mansour.

To launch the new collection of eyewear for men and women Burberry Spark, the British brand celebrates emerging British music talent.

Curated by Burberry Chief Creative Officer Christopher Bailey, the campaign, shot in London, consists of three new singles and exclusive music videos by three awesome bands.

Cartier is one of those brands that knows how to constantly surprise you while re-interpreting itself. A good example is how Cartier keeps bringing back to life its emblematic Panther, ever since it first appeared on a 1914 watch.

With the Rotonde de Cartier 42 mm watch, « Panther with granulation », Cartier not only re-interprets its image with the symbolic panther : the brand brings back to life a millennia-old artistic craft, called granulation.

“To break the rules, you must first master them” : such is Audemars Piguet's philosophy. LeBron James has been an Audemars Piguet Ambassador for over two years, as he perfectly embodies the brand’s philosophy motto.

Considered one of the greatest players of all time, he is the fifth player to have won the trophy four times or more in the history of professional basketball.

A keen devotee of Haute Horlogerie, LeBron wears a Millenary 4101 watch.

Singer and honorary chair Beyoncé wore a Givenchy Haute Couture by Riccardo Tisci custom made outfit to the Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute Gala to celebrate the opening of the PUNK: Chaos to Couture exhibition on May 6th, 2013 in NYC. 

Other celebrities wearing included actress Rooney Mara (in Haute Couture), socialite Bao Bao Wan and ctress Amanda Seyfried (also in Haute Couture), Carine Roitfeld (in a custom made outfit).

Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci sneakers, part of the men's spring-summer 2013 collection.

In Paris – and France in general, we have a habit of enjoying wine as an appetizer… Especially on the warm spring and summer days. You will find us having a glass of chilled rosé at a café terrace, in a park or at simply at home, always in good company. Yes, the French « Apéro »  as we call it is a national tradition.

If in Europe we like our blush wines rather dry as opposed to American rosé which is rather sweet and similar to white wines, in France the varieties are, of course, endless.
