"That was the first day I decided to start my own business. I'd been lent an office and bought a brand new computer because I didn't have one. Then I cried my eyes out because I didn't know where to start. "

"There are many, but I think the one that stands out the most wasthe day we opened our very first boutique on rue de Tournon in Saint Sulpice. We set up store all night long with Marion and Fleur. And Jeanne, a journalist from Elle, wrote to tell me that she'd found a small space on the News page of Elle to announce the opening of the boutique, but she absolutely needed a photo, and she needed one now. I had a 10-foot-long head because we were exhausted, but it was my best memory."

"I think I'm more of a Notting Hill team, I love this area, I've really fallen in love with it. In fact, when we go to London, I always find an excuse to stop off at the James Perse boutique, which is right opposite our Oh My Cream boutique in Notting Hill. I just love it. And to say the least, the Paris/London trips have been numerous this year. I've often been there with Fanny, our Communications Director, and our little ritual is to go to a little store called Daylesford Organic where we buy soups, broths and bone broths. We love it!"

It's a Private Joke. Everyone knows I hate Valentine's Day, but the girls at Communication are forcing me to talk about Valentine's Day next year. I think it's horrible.
