What to buy with my Tory Burch gift card? I want everything on this site. This little lizard clutch is definitely in the running, but they don’t make things easy when everything is so damn cute!

Spa Chic Pampering
One of my resolutions this year is to take a break for some pampering every once and a while. The new spa at 27 Rue Mazarine (also the name of the spa) in Aix-en-Provence features Laura Mercier products and this indoor pool area for lounging between treatments. Massages, facials, manicures and pedicures, plus complimentary makeup application when you’re finished being massaged and buffed to perfection. Sign me up for a full day, please!
Mansion Monday
Mansion Monday. A 15th century château on 200+ acres in Touraine. Just 4,950,000€. We could throw one hell of a New Year’s party in this! http://www.handsomepropertiesinternational.com
Bienvenue, Klimt
Just in from The Provence Post: The former Cathedrale des Images, now called the Carrières de Lumières (Quarries of Light), is a magical space in a vast cave-like quarry at the base of the village of Les Baux. There in the cool darkness, close to 100 video projectors generate the choreographed movement of 3,000 images over an area of more than 75,000 square feet, onto walls as high as 45 feet, onto the ceilings and even the floor. The sound-and-light show changes roughly once a year and the site is one of the most-popular in Provence. The new show (look for the person in the photo to imagine the scale) will be unveiled on March 7. Called “Klimt and Vienna: A Century of Gold and Colours,” it leads visitors on a journey through 100 years of Viennese painting to the heart of the bright, colorful works of Gustav Klimt, his contemporaries and the artists he inspired. The Klimt show runs until January 4, 2015. – See more at: http://theprovencepost.blogspot.fr/2013/12/monet-renoir-chagall-show-closes-jan-5.html#sthash.0BH6GQ2L.dpuf

Where to Go in 2014
Travel + Leisure’s list of the best places to travel in 2014 is out. Quite a few of these recommended hot spots were already on my list. In fact, the trip to Mexico is already booked. See the full article here: http://www.travelandleisure.com/articles/best-places-to-travel-in-2014/14
Favorite Things
One of my new favorite things: this gold cuff my sister gave me for Christmas. I love the elegant and asymmetrical pattern. This was an incredible Christmas, jewelry-wise.
Style Inspiration
Today’s style inspiration is from blogger Jaclyn Demuro, expert on “expensive eyes and budget buys.” I love everything about this look: the high pony, the lashes, the red lips and nails, the finger bling and the fringy nordic poncho.

Christmas Cocktail
Upon finding that there were still fresh pomegranates to be had, we changed this year’s Christmas cocktail to a pomegranate kir royale. Fresh juice, pressed by hand, just add Champagne.
Holiday Bling
I guess my husband thinks I was nice this year! And it’s a middle finger ring, so if I have to flip you off, I will do it like a lady.
