BROSE NOSE: PARIS / Le Castiglione

Le Castiglione is hardly a 'new find' - it's one of my Paris staples, especially during fashion week. Because you are guaranteed to run into the who's who of the fashion scene. Located ever so conveniently between Place Vendôme and Colette, it's no wonder that the weary and weathered stop in for a minute of reprise and stellar people-watching. Just last night I ran into: Stephanie Solomon, Fashion Director at Bloomingdale's; Martin McCarthy, Chief Development Officer at the House of Worth; Michel, one of the managers at Hôtel Costes; and this cute jewelry designer from Seattle, Rebecca Calen, who was showing in Paris for the first time. Her starry eyes sure brought back memeories (okay, so I only just started showing here a couple of years ago - you got me).
