Brasserie Cognac East french chef blog new york - paulinefashionblog.com -_-7

As you already know, one of the things I miss the most here in New York is our french gastronomy. I know there are a lot of french restaurants in New York, but… they’re not always worth it ! I recently discovered, within a short walk from my place, a French brasserie, far better than many parisian ones : the COGNAC brasserie.

The chef, Florian Hugo (great great great grandson of Victor Hugo) created a very varied menu and taught his team how to offer new-yorkers the best of traditional french food.  Thanks to his training with Alain Ducasse, his … READ MORE

Here is today’s little outfit, shooted in Chinatown ! A few pictures of this amazing neighbourhood, since I know you particularly appreciate my articles when I add pictures of New York – and a little bird told me you’re gonna like these kawaï images !

It was so hot when we took the pictures that I was in a « no make up mood » (sweating under my foundation : no thanx !). I’m wearing part of what I bought on sale : a little silk dress, very light, with a palm tree print, perfect for this kind of tropical … READ MORE

Those of you who follow me on Instagram already know it : last week, we escaped from the city’s fury to take a dip in the Atlantic and lie on the beach ! To change from Coney Island, we went to discover Rockaways, in the Queens. A peninsula that is worth the trip, especially if you like big waves !

It gave me a good reason to wear my two new bathing suits from Roseanna, which I had bought on my favorite beachwear website : La Nouvelle Vague !

The buzz – exclusive reedition of Roseanna’s best seller for La … READ MORE

Lors de mon dernier séjour à Paris la semaine dernière, j’ai logé dans deux jolis hôtels. D’habitude, je squatte chez mon meilleur pote Kévi, guide touristique parisien fondateur de Black Paris Walks (j’en profite au passage pour vous conseiller de découvrir ses visites privées de Paris – que vous soyez parisienne ou pas, ça devrait vous intéresser ! Il propose des visites originales, personnalisables sur demande et notamment sa “spécialité”, une visite touristique dédiée à l’histoire du Paris Noir super intéressante et insolite.) Fin de la parenthèse “je fais de la pub à mon pote” !

Cette fois-ci, j’étais avec … READ MORE

Almost a week without posting anything !! Ahem… This almost never happened before ! I hope you’re not too mad at me !

I must say that sometimes, it’s good to just enjoy and forget your second virtual life, the blog, and the thousands of unread emails ! Well, in the end, when you get back to it, it’s actually worse than ever, because it takes a lot of time and energy to catch up. Anyway… What was this little break for ? If you’re following me on Instagram, you know I’m back in France ! A quick stop … READ MORE
