miss marant

I was lucky enough to attend a buying trip to Paris in June and a highlight was the Isabel Marant Printemps 2013 collection. As a long time admirer of Isabel Marant I hoped I would meet the lady herself. Unfortunately Isabel did not attend but the atmosphere within the showroom and her dedicated staff more than made up for it. She was undeniably present in every element of the clothing.  

The Isabel Marant Showroom, a rustic white, warehouse style building with glass ceiling.

Directions to the closest store to purchase my well deserved dickie boots. 

The entrance was calm and crisp with white flowers and a delicious selection of finger food and cool drinks.

The room was buzzing with buyers from all over, models paraded the collections as we worked our way through the pieces.

an italian summer

i arrived in italy in February and have been craving a good dose of sunshine and salt water.

 the days menu, Santa Margherita is known for its genovese pesto and fresh foccacia, a typical beach snack. A must try when visiting the ligurian region are the Portofino prawns and Spaghetti vongole.

 the living room with traditional genovese mosaic floors.
