Book Inspired Runway: Gatsby at Ralph Lauren

Back in 1974, Ralph Lauren was the set costume designer for the iconic movie The Great Gatsby starring Robert Redford and Mia Farrow. Fast forward to 2011-2012, the remake is currently being filmed in Australia.

It will be directed by Baz Luhrmann, starring Leonardo DiCaprio as Jay Gatsby and Carey Mulligan as Daisy Buchanan, as well as Tobey Maguire as Nick Carraway.

It also happens to be my all time favorite novel. Needless to say, I am smitten with this gorgeous, timeless and classic collection: the cloche hats, the long string of pearls and the tailored suits presented last week in New York are simply stunning.

I'm already looking forward to next spring. How about you?

Happy Friday!!!

Happy Friday! Hope you'll enjoy the long weekend  with friends and family. It's sunny today, looking forward to running a few errands and picking up a few books for some research & inspiration.

I went to see the movie Les Petits Mouchoirs (Little White Lies) with Marion Cotillard last night, it was fantastic! A feel good movie about friendship, love and those little lies we tell ourselves.

Book of the week: I Think I Love You

There's a good review in the New York Times today about Allison Pearson's new novel, I think I love You. The story appears to be quite different from her first novel, I Don't Know How She Does It, about an overworked mother toiling in the London financial world.

I adored her her first novel and can't wait for the movie to come out in 2012 with Sarah Jessica Parker and Pierce Brosnan!

Valentino Movie

Looking forward to seeing this!
