When these photos were taken I had fried zucchini flowers as a starter and my friend had burrata, sundried tomatoes and black olive tapenade. As a maincourse I chose skate wing with grapefruit (my FAVOURITE) while my friend had a beef tartare with French fries and salad. I’ve always picked the same dessert ever since I started to have dinner at Schmuck and it has always been their delicious brioche façon pain perdu with caramel sauce and vanilla ice cream :-)

Mojitos

When I first entered the restaurant I was amazed by the decoration made by Laura Gonzalez (who re-decorated Bus Palladium and the nightclub Le Régine). She is an interior designer, she manage her own architect company, Pravda Arkitect and at the age of 27 I must say her career is very impressing :-)

The walls in the restaurant are covered with different wallpapers, mirrors in different shapes and sizes are hanging on the walls next to old framed photos, antique chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, candles almost everywhere, baroque armchairs and my favourite part, the wall made by marble with a console covered with candles in different sizes. The decoration breathes very much Marie-Antoinette which is charming and puts spirit to the ambiance.

The mojito is a classic one in the bar and if you are lucky you might spot the hot actor Guillaume Canet at Schmuck or Gilles Lellouche who is one of the owners.

In my next blogpost I will introduce you to their food, stay tuned ;-)

My hairdressers name is Christophe and he really takes good care of you, he takes time to really understand what kind of color you want to have or what kind of result and he is honest and tells you what’s possible and what’s not. I’ve always been pleased when I’ve left his saloon and that’s why I recommend him.

On October 4th, my friend Thierry Lasry (sunglass designer) and Ludovic Messager (owner of Quintessence Playground) arranged a party during the fashion week in Paris at the nightclub L’ARC. Ludovic Messager decorated the nightclub for the party and it became a success. Here are some photos from the evening:

Another one of my outfits during the latest fashion week in Paris (Oct 2011), it was my most photographed outfit during the fashion week. Photographers from L’Officiel, ELLE (Spain), ELLE (UK), GLAMOUR (France) and some Japanese magazines that I don’t remember the names of took photos on me during that day. I was wearing the following:

• dress: Ted Baker
• sunglasses: Thierry Lasry
• bag: Zadig & Voltaire
• sandals: Zara
• nailpolish: OPI Lincoln Park After Dark
• haircolor (don’t remember the haircolor, but ask my hairdresser in Paris, Christophe – he is simply the best!)
