Happy Friday!!

Happy Friday! I hope you enjoyed a fantastic week. I'm writing from one of my favorite places in the world, New York City. After some meetings, I was able to catch the amazing Warhol exhibit at the Met a real must see!

Now I'm off to do a bit of shopping and more sightseeing before having lunch with a fellow writer.

You can read my recent post for Clin D'oeil magazine, about a creative New Yorker/Parisian, Antonio Lopez.

Have a great weekend!

Mulberry: Sweet Details

I'm absolutely loving all the sweet details at the recent Mulberry show in London. What strikes me the most about their presentation are the dainty accessories and, as usual, the presence of furry friends on the runway. They always win points in my book for that. Isn't that caniche looking royal?

I'm leaving San Francisco and heading to New York for a few days. After seeing the Cindy Sherman show at the SF MOMA, I'm looking forward to catching the Andy Warhol exhibit at the Met. I'm also looking forward to seeing old friends and spending some leisure time in the Big Apple...always a major treat! À bientôt!

Steinbeck Country

I'm in Steinbeck country, visiting the back roads of his childhood. Yesterday, I was blown away by the stunning beauty of the Pacific coastline in both Carmel and Monterey. The seahorse and jelly exhibits at the Monterey Bay Aquarium are sublime, reminding us of the precious but precarious state of nature.

In every bit of honest writing in the world … there is a base theme. Try to understand men, if you understand each other you will be kind to each other. Knowing a man well never leads to hate and nearly always leads to love. ~ John Steinbeck

Happy Monday!!

Happy Monday from San Francisco! I'm here for a few days, enjoying the sights and sounds of this magical city.    My trip began with an exciting start as I sat in the same row as the lovely Tyra Banks on my way here. Needless to say, I was a bit starry eyed...  I also began reading a super dishy chick-lit novel about the world of fashion: The Liar, the Bitch and the Wardrobe. A title that says it all, really.

I'm heading to the Carmel area today, looking forward to catching the sea and the amazing views.

Wishing you a fantastic week!

Happy Friday!!

Happy Friday!! I haven't covered any fashion week highlights so I thought I would share my favorite shots so far.  The first one is my favorite, I want to be her when I grow up! :o)

The photos taken by Jamie Beck are spectacular ( second and third), the Tory Burch pic on the Daily Beast is a hoot,  Natalie Joos never disappoints and that great sweatshirt looks oh so cozy with a lace skirt!

Congratulations to the winner of the book giveaway: JULIA!  

Have a great weekend!

The Sweet Escape

 

 Can you say ooooh la la la la?  This fashion editorial for W magazine photographed by Nick Knight,  sugary sweet with a darkish edge, has given me a major sugar rush.  Believe it or not, these are actual pictures...the art direction is simply sensational, non?

 The winner of the book giveaway will be selected this evening. There's still a bit of time left, so please do go for it!

As a side note, I'm leaving for California on Saturday, then New York. Although I'm very excited about my trip, I'm desperately trying to figure out what to pack while tying up loose ends with work...all I can say is that it will be one majorly heavy suitcase!

Chapeau!

      

I adore all the great hats this fall. They seem to be popping up everywhere. I have a lovely blue wool fedora that I bought at Monoprix in Paris last year and I can't wait to start wearing it. It adds a touch of chic, n'est-ce pas?
