Jackie Kennedy brought Rigaud candles to the White House. Halston always had one or two burning on his desk or coffee table. And Frank Sinatra would only have Rigaud candles in his homes. Now you too can have access to these amazing French luxury candles.
I started buying Rigaud during the quarantine. I was sick of buying candles that barely smelled. From the minute I opened the box, the fragrance was lingering. Not overpowering just a really beautiful smell. I bought Jackie’s favorite the Cyprus. A blend of the aromatic sweetness of lavender, the woody, crisp notes of pine needles, and the powerful aroma of cedar wood. It smells heavenly. Recently, I have been burning Rose and it is incredible.
Rigaud Paris candles are considered by many to be the finest, most elegant, and highest quality candles made in the world today. Each candle is hand-poured and inspected to insure a premium quality product. Rigaud candles burn evenly, without leaving any deposit on the glass and they do not tunnel, unlike hard wax candles. Click on the links below to see the products. All of the scents come in 3 sizes, small , medium and large and vary burning times. I have chose a sampling below.
This is the large rose candle. It has 90 hours of burning time!!!
This is the medium Gardenia. I want this scent next. The medium size burns for 60 hours.
I love the little black and white zebra “travel” candle…
Here is a shot from the Netflix Halston series…notice the 2 Cypres candles on the coffee table.
I just love this week’s book, When In Doubt Wash Your Hair by Anya Hindmarch. If you are not familiar with Anya she is an incredible luxury British accessory designer. Her handbag designs are brilliant and have become a cult favorite. This book is her life manual and it makes a great gift for your sister, bestie, daughter, or recent graduate.

If you follow me on Instagram, then you have seen me at Billy and Pete’s in Larchmont for dinner many weekend nights. I’ve gone with a group of couples for an outdoor dinner, my friends threw me a surprise bday dinner in one of their igloos in January, and Tom and I stopped by for a last-minute Saturday night dinner a few weekends ago. I have to honestly say, it is such a fun experience and the food and drinks are amazing too. If you have not been there yet, you really have to try. The Detroit pizzas are the best around, and the salads are huge and the choices are great. They have shishito peppers that are my favorite but they are really well known for their homemade donuts. Everyone I know who has been there raves about them. So much so that you can go to Billy and Pete’s and buy them on Saturday and Sunday mornings!!! Click HERE for the entire fab menu.
The Legend of
Billy & Pete
Honest food, great drinks, amazing friendships…
We exist to serve up an analog antidote for the stresses and pretenses of modern life.
It’s time to take step off the treadmill and take a different path…and into a different era.
Back when Westchester was a different world from Manhattan.
When The Sound was the beach.
When cholesterol, gluten, and sodium were not invented yet.
When a little alcohol was the perfect complement to an evening or afternoon… or anytime.
Sometimes to take a step forward, we need to enjoy a few steps back…in time.
I asked Billy, the owner, for one of their great drink recipes. And how lucky….He sent me one for their popular for their Watermelon Sugar drink…..
2oz watermelon mint
.5oz Orange Liqueur
1.5oz fresh watermelon juice
Topped with Jones Lemon Lime craft soda

I watched the new Netflix Series Halston over the weekend and now I am obsessed with everything Halston. I read that the series is based upon the book, Simply Halston, the untold story by Steven Gaines. Mr. Gaines is an author and was the editor of New York magazine for 12 years.
His book “Chronicles the life story of Roy Halston Frowick, a poor midwesterner whose middle name became synonymous in the 1960s and 1970s with high-fashion and high-society, but who experienced business setbacks in the 1980s, then succumbed to the AIDS virus” – Amazon.com
I loved the Netflix series so I am so excited to read the book. It is only available on Kindle right now. For more information or to purchase this book, click HERE.
