In October, during our limited freedom to mingle and meet people, I met Clare Price for an extended brunch in Notting Hill! We were so happy to be able to connect after a very tiresome summer. We still felt the looming anxiety on what was next with the pandemic but we also felt grateful that [...]
Coffee bars at hotels are a special place especially in New York.
There is only one thing I can say with the current uncertainty of travel - thank God I went to Paris when I could even if it was in August. I had the pleasure of visiting the Hugo & Victor Boutique in Paris. It is located between the 6th and 7th arrondissements; the Saint-Germain-des-Prés, in [...]
