First the view,
So beautiful in that little window. A nice part of going on showroom appointments is to discover special locations. I really liked Devi Kroell‘s offices and I loved the bags, shoes, boots. Expensive skins and fur…. Maybe one day…

Costume National didn’t make it.
Sometimes, we have to ship the looks from Europe and it gets stuck in customs. They miss the shoot. Like this black and white dress and very high leather shoes. Such a waste! The dress is in a teddy bear sort of fuzz, perfect for a cold chic and cozy winter. Kiki likes it a lot.

My friend Gordon is always very stylish. I couldn’t resist taking a picture of him in this really strange furniture. He has most of his suits handmade in London but if you want a great a nice personal taylor experience for a reasonable price, try J Crew special men’s stores.

Starting to shoot resort,
I miss the Fall collections, at least it is still in the stores. I love that look that we shot for Harpers Bazaar Turkey. A pair of pants from Theyskens Theory, a shirt and a tie from The Row, a cashmere wrap from Devi Kroell. It is a nice mix of masculine and feminine, simple and chic. The jewelry is vintage but the watch is Cartier and the shoes Stella McCartney. Time to go shopping!

My favorite Fall look

it's all in the details

It is a fall hat so what!
There is less and less rules in fashion and it is better that way. They are opening a new store in New York very soon. Sandro is the name. They come from France. It is a young french label, classic with a cool twist.

Of course barefoot wins,
but if you need some heels on the beach, only one way, wedges. Specially cork wedges or espadrilles style, no running is better.

Pretty colors

Some heels

Colors are everywhere and probably for a while.
They were never really gone. I found this not so old picture of Angela by Gilles Bensimon for ELLE. It was a mix of Benetton knits that we shot it in Tulum.

Just Trying,
After many years watching people running on the west side highway at whatever hours of the day or whatever temperatures it would be outside, I decided to try (No, I didn’t make fun of them,but after seeing that blog on before and after jogging……) . First, it was nice and easy, like flying, until I stopped running. That’s when you start feeling the pain. I won’t say anything about the few steps I’ll have to use to go downstairs the next day. Ouch! Anyway, I’ll try to stick to it for a while and the dogs love it. Plus, a painful free work out, in only 15mn by myself, it’s worst it!!
Of course, I am totally prepared. Falke has the best gym clothes and I have my cute IPod shuffle all jeweled by Swarovski. It’s good to be a fashion victim.

Running with music

They keep popping out everywhere.
I just shot a really cool pajama style pants from Elizabeth and James, ordered a sexy dots bathing suit from Charlie, and saw my friend Marie who did a great combination of denim and a Joomi Lim‘s necklace with it. It is an easy print to wear and it has a nice vintage feel. Let’s go dots. Thank you Marie!
