What girl doesn’t love champagne? I think we can all agree that a glass of bubbly is both sexy and delicious. I had a chat with Hervé Rousseau, the owner of Flûte, a lovely champagne bar in Paris (with two locations in New York), where I got some insider info on champagne. Hervé told me his favorite Paris bars, his favorite champagne and sparkling wine picks (surprise: one is from Long Island!), and most important, his secret to making the perfect champagne...

One woman took on navy in all textures with a woolen blazer, silk polka-dot shirt and jeans combined to create a chic-preppy look that screamed cool and put together. The red lipstick was the perfect final, and rather Parisian, touch. In fact, coordination was a key feature. Another woman wore emerald skinny trousers that matched her scarf, and black frames that matched her velvet...

Bienvenue, spring! The sun is finally shining on our faces. While we can’t wait to get out our summer wardrobe, it is still a bit chilly to put on a T-shirt or a tank top. For this transitional period, the scarf becomes the inevitable Paris fashion accessory. The rule is simple: choose a top and a colorful scarf, or a colorful top and a matching simple scarf.
While animal prints are everywhere, we discovered the artistic and colorful scarves designed by...
