Paris when it drizzles

If you visit Paris in the winter and the weather isn't on your side, here's a few things you can do in that glorious city of lights...

Take a macaron making class at La Cuisine Paris 

See the likes of Jeff Koons at the Pompidou Centre and take in a sunset view of the Eiffel Tower from the 6th floor.

Paris X Amsterdam

This weekend, Stephane and traveled to Amsterdam via Paris from London by train and stayed for a few days. Though most of my pictures were taken on my film camera (I'll share if they come out!), I took a few phone snaps. As always these beautiful cities, their architecture, culture and effortlessly stylish inhabitants served as wonderful inspiration... perhaps I'll start working on a Rose & Rina: Paris X Amsterdam line! 

Oysters, bread and cheese

Stephane and I spent some time in his hometown of Vannes, Brittany this month, and I thought I'd share some pictures from a week spent eating, oyster and prawn fishing, shopping at the local markets and visiting the 'Cote Sauvage' (or Wild Coast).

Corfu

 

Earlier last month, we spent an extended bank holiday weekend in Corfu an Island in the Ionian Sea off the coast of Greece. As the weather warms up here in London I find myself thinking back to the beautiful Corfu coastline, the stillness of the sea, the fragrance of the lemons, the warmth of the people and the food...oh the food.

We were lucky enough to be there over the Greek Orthodox Easter and perhaps the most memorable experience was when we went up to the local church on Good Friday and joined in on a candlelit procession with the entire vlllage through the darkened streets behind the icon, the priest and the choir.

Walking amongst the locals so far from home, the only light coming from our candles and the fireflies, illuminating the olive trees and donkeys in the fields was without a doubt one of the most magical moments I've experienced.
