This painting, whose photograph I took with my phone and thus the lighting renders it less bright, reminds me of the underwater spectacle one can see when snorkeling at Santa Maria beach. Immediately, I thought of the new Empreinte… Read More
There is no doubt that the French Riviera’s very character is a brand unto itself.

So when I checked out the Antigel swimwear line by the very French Lise Charmel Group, I was expecting couture beachwear. But it seems that the brand has decided to cultivate its sleek swimwear to captivate a … Read More
