When my sister in law was married in Paris a few years ago, albeit a very intimate party, there was something somewhat “Je ne sais quoi” about the whole affair. It’s that French chic that permeates most everything one sees in this elegant city. No lingerie design house possesses this style more then the venerable Cadolle.

The stocking’s history is almost as intriguing as the item itself. Predecessors to the modern stocking date … Read More
Today there are 3 cruise ships anchored in the harbor. I can see them from my hillside deck, miniature behemoths besieging the seascape.
