le savon de Marcel

Coucou les amis, here is my latest find. Nice packaging for a start and it is sure to look good in our bathroom. For the soap connaisseurs out there, you will already have realised that the name is, of course, a play on words of the most excellent, Savon de Marseille. An attractive organic soap, in eco-friendly packaging, Le Savon de Marcel, is actually made in Marseille!

Evian: long been the bottled mineral water of choice among stars and models alike. The iconic tear-drop glass bottle has had a number of glamorous partners over the years, with the company having produced a successful range of limited editions, including with Jean-Paul Gaultier, Paul Smith and Issey Miyake. In yet another perfect pairing, it is now the turn of 1960s Paris fashion house, Courrèges, who celebrate their 50th anniversary this year. The bottle features the company logo and its emblematic white and pink flower. Available for pre-order and from colette.

if you treat yourself to one thing this week...

... let it be Mikado. French biscuit-making kings, LU, are the brains behind these skinny treats. They are the perfect afternoon coffee accompaniment and always best crunched in pairs. At the end of an exhausting spa-day away at Stobo, this was a truly random purchase, from Sainsbury's in Peebles. A real surprise as I didn't know you could get them in the UK. With packaging almost as good as its contents and looking somewhat like a naff packet of cigarillos, you really can't go wrong.
