The white dusting on the tiled rooftops, the cobble-stoned pathways bordered with powder; it’s as if seeing the city with new eyes. While the winter months may seem to drag on, we’ve begun to learn how to pause and appreciate this place, even on

Wow. What a year it has been! We always start the new year with anticipation, but we would never have expected this past year in Lausanne to be as exciting as it was.

CALLING ALL FLAVOR ADDICTS! It’s time to spice up apéro–and we’ve just the occasion. Scroll down for details!

There’s often a great divide when it comes to the subject of fur. There are those who love it for it’s luxurious feel and added warmth, while others are opposed to it because of the obvious ethical reasons. While we absolutely love the look and feel of real fur, we have always been part of
