Breathe Inn... Beauty Secret #1









Everyone asks us, "Mais, Kiki et Lala, qu'est-ce que c'est votre secret?" when marveling at the profusion of rest and relaxation in our bones.  And contrary to popular belief, the answer is not all the cake we nibble on or the grapes fed to us by our paramours du jour -- it's not even the preservatives of all the champagne we bathe in.

No, Les Coquettes are modern old-fashioned gals, who believe in the profound benefits of a more spiritual well-being.  And like l'amour, we believe in all things natural and aesthetically uplifting.

So, if you must know, the answer to your question is Breathe Inn -- our home away from home.

It's where we go for r&r and to detox from our indulgences de ville.  Quite possibly, it's the most beautiful, restful and inspirational place, outside of our native Gay Pareeeee -- and the proprietors are much lovelier and friendlier than our long-faced compatriots.  (Les americains are so delightfully charmantes!) 

Breathe Inn is -- how you say? -- a B&B; but a very chic, soignee one with modern design sensibilities that are harmonious to its natural environment.  It's a revamped Victorian house, set back on several unspoiled acres upstate -- but no doilies here!  Furnished with John Robshaw sheets, Moroccan lanterns, a projector, a pool, a hammock (Lala's personal fave) and Banksy pieces and such, it's a Victorian home with panache.  

Who would expect less from OG coquette, intn'l downtown style-setter/taste-maker, interior designer extraodinaire, Breathe Inn creator and most importantly, mother & friend, Camella Ehlke -- and natural chef hubby, Marlon Aitcheson?  Pas nous!
