Well much to my dissapointment there was no curry served at the very exclusive and ultra chic preview festivities for Art Dubai. Probably because it would have clashed with the women’s size 00 couture gowns and men’s Karl Lagerfeld-style skinny suits — the fashionably clad guests attracted even more attention than the art.

The day started [...]

She puts her back to me, pushes her hair to the side, and turns to give a look out of her left eye which demands only one thing and one thing only-

Long day at school today.
A couple pages left to read in Lolita.
This calls for a quick stroll in the gardens of the Château de Versailles before making my way back into Paris centre…
After a quick 5 minute drive from school, I landed upon a cool surprise – Veilhan Versailles. Set against the typical lines and [...]
