If your Dad is anything like mine, he may already have everything he needs. So, why not get him something he wants!?! I’m talking about a watch! I recently received the new Edifice EQS800 solar chronograph watch by Casio, and I love it. It makes the perfect gift for any man. There’s something very sentimental ab

I always need to carry so many things with me, that you will never see me without a bag. Whether I’m travelling, or just going to the grocery store next door, I always take a bag with me to carry all the things I might need: wallet, camera, facial tissues, lenses wipes, pen, gum… I don’t always use these things, but when I need to, I’m happy to have them with me. I was recently gifted a new bag by Jenny N. Design that quickly became my new favorite. Not only does it look awes

I recently upgraded to the new iPhone X for Christmas, and immediately all I could think about was how I needed to protect it. The phone was so expensive the last thing I wanted to do was accidently drop it on the floor and shatter the screen, all because it wasn’t properly protected. The new iPhone X is so well designed, I didn’t want to cover it up with a big chunky cover. I wanted a protector that would complement the slim line design, while still doing its job. That’s whe

This coming September, Hello_Francois will celebrate its 2-year anniversary. I can still remember the day I decided to start a blog, as if it were yesterday. Originally, I thought having a blog would be a great way to share with my friends and family what my new life was like, here in the states. I never imagined that the blog would become a go-to source for men’s fashion and lifestyle tips, for men in Dallas and beyond. Naturally, one of my resolutions for 2018 involves the

If you’ve been following me, you might know I love wearing watches. I truly believe that watches are what diamonds are for women : their best friend. More than just giving the time and being a fashion accessory, watches tell a lot about the man who wears them. That’s why watches are usually a very personal purchase. Since I started wearing watches, I’ve always dreamt of buying a vintage Rolex. I know that when this happens (soon enough, I hope), I will buy it through Bob’s Wa

Two weeks ago, I celebrated my marriage with my husband Ken at the Crescent Club in Dallas. It was the most beautiful, emotional and overwhelming evening I have ever been a part of in my life. Not only did I have my mum, dad and aunt from Japan, France and Switzerland with us that night, some of my closest and dearest friends were also present to celebrate the love Ken and I have for each other. In this post, I will be sharing the most beautiful moments captured by our photog

I don't know where you guys live, but here in Dallas it's getting colder day after day as we get closer to Christmas. At this rate, we might have some snow by the end of the year, who knows! Despite the cold weather, I wanted to have a walk yesterday in the Harwood district which is less than 5 min on foot from my place. I wanted to use the outdoor setting and natural lighting to get some photos taken of my new favorite bag that I got from Jenny Nemlekar, the creative and bus

In exactly one month today, we will celebrate Christmaaaaaas, aka my favorite Holiday of the year! As tradition has it, I'm sure you have already started shopping for all your friends and family members. Today, I want to share a great gift for that special man on your list. Have you heard the quote "watches are man's best friend"? Well, I think it's true because I have personally never met a man who doesn't like watches! That's why I want to introduce Jack Mason.
