The largest city in the Southern hemisphere, Sao Paolo counts 20 millions habitants, 10 millions cars and the largest Italian, Jewish, Japanese communities in the world. A tower of Babel full of energy and vitality. And stunning architecture. Could you live here?

Paris welcomes a new children’s boutique called Chou Fleur (cauliflower). This 35 square meter store is located in the 5th arrondissement, known for its concentration in universities, libraries and cinemas focused on good old classics. Founder of Chou Fleur, Véronique Suzzoni mixes toys, decor, clothing and accessories, but also events for her little clients : workshops, birthday parties, English for beginners.

This is the season when I miss the US the most, for the Indian summer, for Halloween and Thanksgiving. Before living in the US, Halloween was just a commercial event to me. It is still, in a way, but I understand much better the attraction Americans have for it. While living in New York, I discovered the crazy block parties with kids in amazing costumes, streets decorated and open houses, full of pumpkins, candles, spider webs and other spooky elements. Such fun, such great energy and creative sophistication. Now I can’t escape Halloween because my children got addicted to it. This fashion story in W Magazine set the tone for my outfit this year…it’s going to be fun again.
