Love is the strangest thing. Like the weather! Indeed, I have never met anyone who could predict when, where, how, let alone IF, they or any of their friends would fall in love. I mean, you could think that since everyone has some experience of it, and since everyone wants it in some form or another, we would be better at understanding the whole thing...

The 21st century…

Mes Cheris!

I love New York! There is no better place to discover new talent, new shows, new ideas. It just is a city where everyday you get a fresh perspective on things ~whether you asked for it or not~ which I find extremely sexy.

The other night, I went to the Bowery…

Joyeuse valentinage

My Frenchies,

La vie est belle!

It’s Valentine’s day everyday for She is french but for the rest of the world it’s on the 14!

So my lovelies, thanks to Mauboussin, one of you will remember this Valentine day for a long time with a beautiful…

To all women who are mothers and to all of you who mother others: Happy Belated Mother's day!

Now that YOU have been celebrated and received the customary/mandatory flowers, card or for the luckiest the handmade noodle necklace... let's talk about all the other mothers out there, in

dire need of a celebration too.

First your own Mom, who -despite all her faults and by now I hope your therapist agrees with you- survived…

The mice will play ! Bien sur.

What an enchantement it was to talk with Nadia Stieglitz, founder of Mice at Play. Our conversation was bubbling with ideas and giggles. Like her, it was fun, relaxed and wickedly titillating. The French-born piquante

brunette is my kind of girl. She wants women to rediscover the lost Art

of Playing,"live in the moment, on the edge, and with gusto".

Do you…

Last night I had dinner at Degustation and let me tell you, it was heaven! This tiny place is a gem where the food is delicious, delectable and divine - or was it the Chef?

I might have to say both.

Degustation serves Tapas Extraordinaires - small exquisite dishes from Spain- that melt in your mouth. The restaurant only seats 16 people around a large bar that faces Chef Wesley Genovart, from which I

had a hard time…

The Time 100 fascinates me every year. It's a picture in time of 100 people who truly influenced our world and in some way affected the way we lived.

I like everything about this list from the inspiring categories: heroes, thinkers, leaders, artists to its International reach.

But also because they are not all famous. Of course, you'll see the obvious…

There's nothing better that a man that makes you laugh!

Multiply that by 60 and you can just imagine what a day I had thanks to new website : The Man's Guide to Love.

The website features each day a short video of men from all over the country who were asked:

“If you had one piece of advice that you’d give another man about love, what would it be?

The answers are are hilarious as they are…

I love picking up the Financial Times on week-ends. It adds a brainiac touch that would never happen with a copy of Vogue, and it gives a little dose of the too common yet awfully efficient sexy-librarian stereotype when you add a pair of glasses to the picture.

There was a fascinating article by…

How can one resist to this S&M version of the good old Spaghetti & Meatballs recipe ... It's time to replace your lovely grandmother cooavaible on king book - and she certainly had more edge than Rachel Ray- by

something shall we say more contemporary.

Take a pair of High Heels, add…

I had a lovely talk on a sun-drenched bench in Central Park with a dear friend this afternoon. Our discussion eventually came to the journey it takes to find one's own voice and nurture it despite the

obstacles - more often inner than outer !

So I smiled when I saw that the poem Maria Shriver chose to read for the Women's conference in celebration of Poetry Month: The…

Watching Isabella Rossellini sweet sexy giggles is absolutely contagious!

After her super successful Green Porno series on the Sundance Channel, she is back with a new animal sex show called Seduce Me... call me old fashion, but isn't Seduction suppose to come before Porno ?

Who cares…

Doesn't it sound like a perfect combination!

I always thought that men who are foodies are sexier than the rest. Maybe because food is such a sensual experience or maybe because they take the time preparing something special for you.

So when I was invited for lunch at the new spot, Tartinery and met their 3 young owners, I was immediately smitten.

Could the fact that they are French, so sweet and…
