II. Ultimate Comfortable Pajamas:  For some strange reason it is extremely difficult to find classic, comfortable and chic pajamas.  Frankly wearing sweats to bed, tee shirts, animals prints or thermal long johns  reminds a sophisticated adult of being a small child rather than an accomplished and successful woman.   My favorite brand has been PJ Salvage until I stumbled upon the Nordstrom brand.  The pajamas are soft, sexy and for a woman of substance.  Audrey substance that is!

French Perfume Please!

Two Favorites


Chanel N5








 III.  French Perfumes:  These two scents are unforgettable and definitely stop traffic no matter where the adorned waltzes through a room.


  • Chanel N5 created by Gabrielle Chanel in 1921 is the symbol of luxurious simplicity.   This flagrance is memorable, floral and mesmerizing. Since its creation in 1921, N°5 has exuded the very essence of femininity: An abstract, mysterious scent, alive with countless subtle facets, radiating an extravagant floral richness. In 1986, Jacques Polge, reinterpreted his predecessor Ernest Beaux’s composition to create a fuller, more voluminous version of the now and forever fragrance: the Eau de Parfum.

"What do I wear to bed? Why Chanel N5 of course!" - Marilyn Monroe









  • Dior J'adore:  The perfect flower finely created down to the final detail.  The essence of Ylang-Ylang from the Comoros unfurls its floral-fruity notes and demands a soft exotic touch.  Rose, Jasmine add a floral touch exuding sensuality working in harmony.  The "flower of the gods" with its warm facets of sensual and enveloping orange blossom. 






Dior 'J'adore' Eau de Parfum Spray


"J' adore is an extraordinary fragrance because it achieves the feat of being an original signature that is easily appealing.  Sensual without being too heavy, it is a composition that brings opposites together; that makes iconic floral notes into an alluring, unique and mysterious ensemble. J'adore invents a flower that doesn't exist, an ideal."  - Francois Demachy
