Get french fashion and lifestyle tips at your fingertips.
Inès de la Fressange has built a serious career on sharing lifestyle and fashion tips, though between her book Parisian Chic, notebooks, Instagram, and Twitter, there came a point where she no longer knew how to handle it all. “I’m always sharing my notebooks, and it finally got unmanageable; I had to put it all in a much bigger place,” she told Style.com recently. Enter the Parisian’s new blog, lalettredines.com, complete with a newsletter she writes that lands every Thursday.
Thus far on the site, she’s called out the organic bath oil Arbre de Vie by Huygens and home decor courtesy of Mona Market, two stores in the Marais. But considering that her notebooks are always overflowing and always in demand, on any given Thursday, De la Fressange might as easily touch on shopping, restaurants new and ancient, and practical matters, such as where to get your Viviers and Louboutins spruced up in a flash, or she might take a detour into the merits of customizable Birkenstocks, for example. Since she’s just back from Bangkok, De la Fressange’s missive this week includes pictures of the King’s Palace and Golden Buddha plus a handful of suggestions for the perfect day lazing around the house—“Thursday is the new Sunday,” she proclaims. For now, the site is only in French—but it would take a lot more than that to dissuade her legions of non-French fans from checking it out.
