I already wrote about my love hate feelings for plastic some time ago, before I fount myself facing a new conflict: Denise Julia Reytan‘s Fashion and Art Jewelry! Again, I love natural/artificial mix…

Étoile Filante Head Jewel

In celebration of the 80st anniversary of Coco’s very first Fine Jewelry Collection “Bijoux de Diamants”, the emblematic house created a collection of 80 unique pieces which will be shown during the Couture Week in July. In the mean time, Chanel decided to let us admire nine beautiful pieces all inspired by their famous Comète, all in diamonds and white gold. Pearls naturally make an appearance, what would Chanel be without its pearls after all! Although this time they are real

The Signet Ring: Giovanna vs. The English Gentleman

I think it is rather fun to see more “fashionable” variations of the signet ring than the traditional coat of arms! What do you think: Tradition or Reinvention???

The Queen Cake

January 18th, 2012 § Leave a Comment

You might have heard about it: The Meurice pastry chef, Camille Lesecq, had the wonderful idea to hide Tiffany Keys in this year’s King Cakes, well Queen Cakes might be more appropriate. So my mother and I  went last week in the hope to be lucky… The cake was fantastic!

And I had hope until the last bite… but I wasn’t the Queen this year. I wonder what will be hidden next year.. If you wish, you still have 4 days to try finding a key. Even if you don’t find one it still is very much worth it: the cake is soooooooo good!
