Bangles...

You can never have too many.

Happy 70th Grace.

Grace Coddington's birthday party on the 15th at Indochine in NYC boasted a pretty impressive guest list and vogue.com has posted a gallery of great shots. I have stolen here some of my favourites. Grace with Marc Jacobs- who was wearing a Comme des Garçons skull-print skirt and Grace with my fave model Karlie Kloss. Then the last shot is just for my amusement because it features two things one rarely gets to see: Anna Wintour genuinely smiling and Naomi Campbell eating.

Why Not?

You may agree to disagree but I love this look. Right down to the clog heels. Especially the clog heels. This look has everything I support: hippy influence, nautical influence, vintage handbags and a sweater you just threw on one night to go for a smoke before realizing it was perfect for real life. The only thing I dislike about this look is how nostalgic it makes me for my long hair.

They're Back...

The infamous hair scrunchy seems to be making a new millenium comeback. It may be a trickle down effect from Marc Jacobs S/S 2010 (top pic), or it may just be nineties nostalgia. We all saw the Sex and the City episode and have since believed that to wear a scrunchy is the ultimate fashion faux-pas. But I guess if American Apparel is selling them now they MUST be cool (sarcasm). But truth- they don't destroy your hair and some girls manage to make them look pretty fly. Example: My new friend Alma below...

Merci Marnie for photo opps and showing me the city. Bisous.

Liz by Andy at Centre Pompidou.

It would be very glamorous to be reincarnated as a great big ring on Liz Taylor's finger  - Andy Warhol.


I wasn't aware that the Centre Pompidou here in Paris had this Warhol among its collection. It felt timely to stumble upon it after Elizabeth's recent passing. Rest in Peace Liz.

En Route the Hamptons.

I love this look- classic nautical with a touch of red.
If I had this hat and these legs my summer wardrobe would be set.

Bag I Love.

I just got back from Barcelona and my only regret is that I did not buy some of the beautiful leather bags I saw for sale in the local shops. Now I am home catching up on my fashion blog reading and I just stumbled on this picture from alltheprettybirds.com. The olive green coat, the faded denim shirt under a sweater and the white scarf is completely my look right now- I just wish I had gotten an oversized leather to tote to complete it. But c'est la vie because home in Paris its sunny and hot and clothes and bags should start getting smaller.

Lost in Barcelona.
