Thanks, Ollie, for the link. Great photos! I think MC looks wonderful. I like her new hair style. It's very flattering and softens up her features a bit.

[dazzling]

thanks olili for the link. she looks lovely and elegent. white suits her.

[magnik]

Thanks a lot

MC&P looks quite good.

[Katrianna]

I read an interview that Marie-Chantal gave and the more I've gotten to know about her, the more I like Marie-Chantal.

[olili]

Someone have to tell us what MC said House & Garden.

For those still dying to find the magazine (Olili ?) and managing french, there seems to be a site where to order H&G :

Moderator, I hope it is OK to post links about commercial sites ??

[azile]

In this case, the commercial link is just fine!

Point de Vue (n° 3041) this week has a medium pic of MC allegedly opening a new shop on Madison Avenue in NY (opening or just visiting ? I thought there was already one in NY...).
They don't say much, but the pic is quite natural with MC wearing grey pants, a white top and golden long chain, and the same red/black nail varnish she had at H&G party in NY.

How many shops does she already has? MC/ Greek little imperrium

Thanks for the tidbit Sita780, I like how MC's style is evolving slightly. That is the first time I have EVER seen her with any other nail color than the pale pink she usually wears. I agree that the pink looks natural, classy, and doesn't show wear but it is nice to change it up a bit sometimes.

And is that some strawberry blonde 'lowlights' I see in her hair at the H&G party??

[sita]

I guess the article in H&G has to be partly understood as merchandising for the new shop in NY.
Aphrodite26, there are pictures of ONE event when MC wore red varnish in Seegerpress' site, but I failed to post the link. It is in 2001 or 2002 I think. With beautiful black feathery dress.

Thanks for the link sita780. Even though the picture is a bit dated, it's a nice one of the kids. MC must be doing something right, her children always look healthy and very happy in their photos. Wish we saw more of them.

[Duc de Chatres]

Looking spectacular as always. I think she's the most eleant and regal looking of all young Europen royal women

[olili]

We can see on MC´s website her House & Garden magazine interview. Her house is very beautiful.

[sita]

Another proof that the article was part of a merchandising campaign. Thanks for the info Olili, glad to see you eventually had access to the pictures.
If I allow myself a commentary as a french person : "Looks like another penthouse in Paris decorated by another french decorator", except it is in London (although MC said in the Vogue article in January that she loved her new house because it felt like living in Paris. I can see why).
I can believe anything but :
1. it is a good home for raising a family : WHITE carpet under dining table, scary paintings all around, a flat garden looking like a prison courtyard ! Although I know my kids would love the Lalanne chandelier with monkeys, and I love it too.
2. it is a grown-up house : I feel the decorator obviously projected his vision of a stylish blond cold american lady, there is no place for Pavlos' side aristocratic european identity and transmission (except for the lovely coats of arms engraved on glasses, if someone noticed), no place for MC's blood and flesh personnality. I think the real first grown-up house will be the next one, when they hopefully combine this together.
Sorry for being long and personal and daring.

Might it be possible that those home-stories aren´t made in their real homes but in some artificial "Studio-homes" just decorated for making that kind of photos?
I once heard that home stories of actors often don´t show their real houses but some artificial studio atmosphere.
