This was the sight that greeted us when we arrived at Tania Fares Paris home for a private dinner to celebrate Sarah's MBE. Candels were being lit in the dining room of her family home, which has been lovingly restored to its 17th century glory. I felt like I was in a Visconti movie. One of the most enchanting, romantic places I've ever been...
I love Sarah off duty. She was all smiles (even if she probably had about 10 reviews to write later that night) with Ben Kirchhoff, Richard Nicoll, Louise Gray, Michael van der ham, Mary Katranzou, Erdem, and Patrick from E Tautz (who it turned out makes suits for Tania's uncle. Small world)...
Another place I got obsessed with this trip was my local bakery, really cheap and run down..but a million miles from Greggs Bethnal Green Road...
It wasnt all fancy though, I also loved hanging out at the Irish Bar, watching the French noisily lose football matches on the big screen, having beer n chips for dinner with Maarten van der Horst. Nous sommes doomed. Mais oui.
Really great to hang out in the showrooms with the designers and the buying teams who actually buy into our British designers, such as the ever gorgeous Rachel Morgans from Asos...looking supercute in House of Jazz for Lulu & Co...
And in between buyers appointments, having time to catch up properly with friends. Here's Roks, Rich and Baby Mia in our local bistro...
..and here's our favourite bar maid...the sweetest girl in Paris..with the best jumper...
