One of the greatest parts of any vacation is the extra time you have to yourself. For some it might be a beach-front massage, perhaps a shopping spree but for me it’s all about catching up on reading. Although I read a lot, mostly it is SEO and coding related books for the website. This week I finally had the time to finish Hal Vaughan’s Sleeping With The Enemy: Coco Chanel’s Secret War.

As an avid reader of Chanel biographies, this one is one of my favourite. The book is well written and meticulously researched. Sleeping With The Enemy focuses on the period 1941 to 1954. A time in Chanel’s life that has remained a myth for the longest time and one that is often overlooked by her biographers. Vaughan’s book discovers Chanel’s involvement with Hitler’s high-ranking officials during Paris’s occupation from 1940 to 1944.
Hello Darlings,
I would like to wish every mother a Happy Mother’s Day! I would also like to thank my mother for everything. I am very lucky :)
Although my mother and I are always told that we are very alike, I always strive to be more like her in many aspects of my life. She is super fun, always happy and appreciates every minute – an attitude I wish to inherit.
