Sunday Market, Bordeaux

I love strolling on markets when I’m abroad and like to be surprised by what people like to share. Their goods, stories and culture. Love the craft and passion.

After surfing the nets on Saturday, I found out that Bordeaux has an awesome farmers market. A nice way, I my opinion, to have breakfast and get to know a city and its locals. So, you won’t find me at the hotel buffet.

For breakfast I treated myself with sourdough bread, good butter, caneles, fresh apple juice and macarons for on the road. To early for oysters man…

Visit Quai des Chatrons, Bordeaux on Sundays :)

I want you !

This is the Air Jordan 7 aka bordeaux. The colors on this sneaker is too awesome and if anyone has a piece on like this, I am sure they will be strutting down the street in confidence. :P I am totally hoping to cope me a pair. :)

1993 Chateau Mouton-Rothschild

Monday’s aren’t usually a big day for first growth Bordeaux, but who am I to complain about bucking this trend.

I wasn’t particularly elated about the ‘93 before opening it (I’ve been let down by such vintages so often in the past) but I am happy to report that this is pretty damn good Mouton. The nose showcases classic cedar and pencil shaving notes with subtle wafts of red currant and dried fruit. There is a foreboding sense of power on the nose and I’m expecting a Mouton with a pronounced structural hardness (as if reinforced with steel). However, I’m pleasantly surprised with how elegant the ‘93 is on the palate, and though it has well defined structural elements, they’re not austere. For first growth I find the palate uncomplicated and reminiscent, mostly, just of excellent Bordeux, and don’t get me wrong, this is excellent wine. In the end, for what it costs, I found the ‘93 a little less complex than I’d like with a bit of shortness across the palate. The finish is also fairly one note and not especially lingering.

That said, Mouton is Mouton and a treat as always (especially since I don’t pay to taste)… But I wonder if this vintage is worth the money.

Glisten to Me

Pretty sparkly sandals are the must-have addition to any gorgeous gown. You may think your tootsies won't be seen under a long dress but when all eyes are on you for a whole day almost everyone (the girls at least) will pay attention to what you have on your feet. Shoe envy will be in order if you choose to adorn your feet with a pair of embellished heels. Forget a little brooch or a few scattered crystals, go the whole hog with encrusted heels like the Christian Louboutin and Jimmy Choo options below. You'll never want to take them off! Buy online at www.net-a-porter.com or visit www.christianlouboutin.com or www.jimmychoo.com to view the collections.

What A Stud

With a heel measuring approx 145mm/5.5 inches and a platform of 30mm/1 inch it's no surprise these shoes would make you preeety tall. They may even be impossible to walk in but who cares?! If I was wearing shoes this pretty it'd be worth remaining seated all night. I simply adore the lavender suede, such a gorgeous colour and teamed with gold studds and transparent plexi panels you've got a killer shoe. With a fawn or pastel dress I think they'd look fierce!
