" 7:00 A.M. As soon as I am up, I brush my hair. I eat breakfast first: tea and brown bread, and sometimes a fresh fruit juice like orange or grapefruit. I write notes on the previous day in my notebook, then I shower. I use only very high-quality products custom-made for me in \u00C9vian-les-Bains. There is no brand; they are by a specialist who stopped making them but makes an exception for me. I receive them every month in my mailbox. After my shower I drink a big glass of tea while inspecting the flowers in the flat and changing their water. My first conversation of the day is with my daughter, Nathalie. I call her every morning; it is a ritual. I love the telephone\u2014my iPhone 5s is my only gadget. I don&amp;#039;t read e-mails because I hate them. I try to stay away from all that technology, which I find amazing, but it&amp;#039;s not for me. I protect myself from all that. Getting dressed takes me about 20 minutes. Every day I wear the same suit, a long jersey or a crepe coat with wide short pants. The color goes from black to dark brown. Only the jewels change. My accessories are all in a big basket, and I make up my mind according to the mood of the day. In general, a strand of pearls and les faux diamants [rhinestones] have a nice effect. Currently on my fingers I am wearing rubies from Marie-H\u00E9l\u00E8ne de Taillac over my rubies from Tiffany&amp;#039;s\u2014tr\u00E8s chic! 10:30 A.M. I give the drawings I&amp;#039;ve done in the morning to my assistant. I don&amp;#039;t have meetings. People call me and ask if they can come and visit me in my apartment. I say yes, and sometimes I say no. It depends on the day. I talk face-to-face about the world, the fashion, the kids, the news, the future. 12:30 P.M. I eat lunch rather early. I love Japanese. On Sundays I usually have lunch with my granddaughters and sisters. I drink th\u00E9 de Chine from Mariage Fr\u00E8res all day long, 10 glasses at least. I work out every day with my personal trainer, who used to be a soloist at the Op\u00E9ra de Paris. But the best thing is to walk, which I do every day at the Jardin du Luxembourg right after lunch for an hour. 2:30 P.M. My daughter knows what I like and does most of the shopping for me. I love bags, shoes, accessories, books. My favorite bookstores are L&amp;#039;\u00C9cume des Pages on St.-Germain-des-Pr\u00E9s and Rizzoli in New York. I am currently rereading Madame Bovary. 6:00 P.M. I read the press and relax. I look at Women&amp;#039;s Wear Daily and all the fashion magazines, all the political newspapers, The New York Times, Le Monde, Lib\u00E9ration, Le Figaro, and a lot of magazines about art auctions and galleries. I also listen to music. I love opera! And I love antique silver objects; I own quite a lot of them. My biggest indulgences are dark chocolate from Pierre Herm\u00E9, les souffl\u00E9s au fromage from Cigale R\u00E9camier, le g\u00E2teau au fromage from Jean-Paul H\u00E9vin (sublime), and going to le salon de th\u00E9 Angelina. I just can&amp;#039;t live without chocolate\u2014I have between two and six pieces every day. 8:00 P.M. I usually have a light dinner that always ends with dark chocolate. My favorite cocktail is a Bellini from Harry&amp;#039;s Bar in Venice. My son, Jean-Philippe, comes to have dinner with me twice a week. I see my daughter, my assistant, and the news on TV every day! I love to stay home watching a good TV program, or if I go out, a quick dinner t\u00EAte-\u00E0-t\u00EAte. 10:00 P.M. My facialist comes to visit every night to do a long cleaning and face massage. 12:00 A.M. My bedroom is dark-lacquered navy blue from top to bottom. There are books everywhere and a big-screen TV and pictures of my family. I go to sleep around midnight. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
