What a difference a decade makes.
The last time I visited Paris, I was an impressionable (read: sensitive) 17 year old and I left the city with a bitter taste in my mouth thinking the food sucked and the people sucked even more.
Fast forward 12 years, and after a short trip to Amsterdam, it was off [...]

Last night was insane to my membrane. I got in to Miami at 11 p.m. after an hour delay on American Airlines. The captain announced “thats about standard” and you can only imagine what I said to him on my way out. Before the night got started we headed to the Mondrian hotel to grab some [...]

In America, the saying goes, “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.”
In Paris, the saying is, “When life gives you lemons, MAKE ART!”
And so comes in musician Nicolas Ullmann, who after the March 2009 fire of his apartment, decided to exhibit his burnt belongings at my favorite art gallery, La Galerie Chappe in Montmartre, Paris. [...]

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-
After a few steps, my hand arrives upon the middle of her back and her shoulder blades begin to display a show of their [...]
Massive store, massive party.

The Grand and Petit Palais to your back, the Tour Eiffel to your right, the River Seine swimming beneath your feet, the Musée d’Orsay in front of you. Walk a little deeper into the 7th district, make a turn on the rue de Lille, and admire the art galleries until you reach number 33.
Le Bistrot [...]
Hey Jane, I’ve got my own sea of shoes… and it’s all thanks to a little store in the Marais lovingly named La Friponne
Character and quality sans the unsupportable clutter and horrid stench of your typical friperie.

It happened to Moses at the Burning Bush, to Jesus at the Jordan River, and to Buddha under the Bodhi Tree.
This past week, God spoke to me at Le Mathis. Antique paintings, foie gras, mirrored walls, haricots-verts, crystal chandeliers, and bottles upon bottles of velvety red wine that played so joyfully against every bite of [...]

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 [...]

The clouds come together, big clouds, like the pillows you use to play with as a child…
The thunder rolls, and trillions upon trillions of rain drops are released into the air.
Paris is showered, cleaned, no… cleansed of the sins it was witness to the night before.
An hour later, the sun king returns to his throne [...]
Ah, the perks of being an HEC Paris MBA student…
Just got back from a four-day seminar on ‘Ethics and Performances,’ an elective I signed up for this semester. The course was led by Father Hugues Minguet, Jean-François de Lavison (VP of Executive International Affairs – bioMérieux), and Philippe Desmarescaux (President – Rhône-Poulenc).
The course took place [...]

I don’t exercise. I don’t take vitamins. Café créme three times a day. Big smoker. Even bigger drinker.
So you may ask, “But Baron, why don’t you take more care of yourself?!”
Oh my dear readers, it’s because everyday before I hop onto the train for school, I have the breakfast of champions.
No sillies, not Wheaties!
Behold, Aux [...]

I’ll keep this short and simple.
I frequently find myself in the wee hours of the night on the rue Saint-Benoît in the Saint-Germain neighborhood of Paris, dancing at Bar Le Montana until the Louis Vuitton store across the street opens the next morning.
And if you ever find the need to surround yourself with ridiculously gorgeous [...]

In the corner of a small black box on the Avenue Marceau you will find a neon red top-hat.
At the oak-wood bar facing the red velvet walls you shall order yourself the cocktail infamously known as le Baron. In your ruby goblet you will find a bed of ice cubes covered with a smooth strawberry puree, [...]

A friend who joined us on my recent Croatia trip received the following email from a Frenchman she met at a club one night but whom she never even gave her email address to. Below is word for word the e-mail she received yesterday…
Hi Juliette, it’s Romeo!
How are you? Did your holidays end up well?
Mine were fantastic, even though [...]
Last year I came across a very interesting biography of Marc Jacobs in The New Yorker. I was thinking about the article the other day…his incessant smoking, his Superman workouts, his penchant for Pairs. Below is an excerpt from the article:
“Jacobs used to be a chubby Jewish guy with long hair and glasses who made his [...]
Appréciez mes amis…
Famous American auteur Mark Twain once say: “Quitting smoking is easy; I’ve done it 1,000 times.” For Jean-Jacques, quitting smoking it is not so easy. I quit them sumthing like 500 times, means I have maybe 500 more to go before it become easy like Mr Twain easy. Right now, I am 8 day no [...]
