Today I visited the home of designer Yves St Laurent in Marrakesh, called “Jardin Majorelle”

MARRAKESH, JULY 29th @LA PLAGE ROUGE

I like my lime juice, it is best when it’s hot outside, I tend to never drink sodas.

I always order a lime or orange juice, freshly squeezed or a mineral water

I am reading a boring book at the moment, written by an American best seller author. I think he should change his job because his books are really getting boring lately. (The painted house by John Grisham).

I would not recommend this place if you visit Marrakesh, in fact I was terribly disappointed. But thanks to “my-positive-mind” I tried my best to enjoyed my time while I was there…

This little friend was always next to me while I was reading,

it was real cute because all red like everything else at this place….

My palm tree styling… 1, 2,3.. VOILA!

Yatta!

JULY 27 – Switzerland

En famille…. yesterday at my Brother Philippe Ligron‘s home in Lausanne, Switzerland.

Grooming his beautiful Spanish horse called Folko, before riding him.

and riding with my platorm shoes… !

after my ride, I took a plane from Geneva to Bilbao (Spain) where I arrived on time for diner, pfff such a full day.

“Desert outlaw gypsies” was the theme of Mara Hoffman’s 2013 Swim collection, and was it ever. From dusky, smoked makeup to textured hair to ankle-length Frye boots below temporary feather calf tattoos to the jangle of M.I.A.’s “Bad Girls,” Hoffman’s Folk-Mad Max-goes-to-the-beach take on swim was as well-executed at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Swim as her suits and day-to-night coverups and caftans.

We just arrived in Spain with my husband to visit the beautiful city of San Sebastian,

San Sebastian is at the very northern end of Spain, close to France. It is part of the Basque Country (called Donostia), where they speak yet another language (Basque).

We came here TO EAT! The food IN SAN SEBASTIAN IS ONE OF THE BEST CUISINE in the world!

The mountainous nature of the Basque Country has led to a difference between coastal cuisine dominated by fish and seafood, and inland cuisine with fresh and cured meats, many vegetables and legumes, and freshwater fish and salt cod.

We have reservations to the top 3 restaurants in town. Will post more details and pictures later.

Tomorrow for lunch:

Arzak (3* Michelin)

Avenida Alcalde José Elosegui 273, 20015 San Sebástian, Spain +34 943 278 465

The Chefs are Father and Daughter Elena Arzak. Elena was named Veuve Clicquot World’s Best Female Chef. ARZAK is a 3 stars in the guide Michelin, They say that Juan Mari is the Chegevara of Cuisine over because he created a true revolution in the world of cuisine. he is considered a true leader in the field of cuisine in San Sebastian.

The first night when we arrived, we “tapas hopped” around the old town with my long time friend Ghyslaine Gaulthier who lives in San Sebastian and we had some very tasty pintxos.

The food wasn’t very expensive, each pintxo cost between 1.50-2.00 euro. People tend to eat very late in Spain, lunch is at about 2 pm and diner at 10 pm…. the streets were packed with people and the atmosphere was really special. I used to live in Spain when I was 25 years old to 30, before i moved to Asia. I have a lot of love for Spain and I miss it a lot.

Two of my favorite traditional pintxos

Next stop Bilbao to visit museums

and

Geneva in Switzerland for 2 days!
