The Perfect Summer Bag.
It doesn’t mind the sand or the water, fits everything from your ipad to your beach towel, is really easy to carry, light and looks very stylish. It should be the summer must-have accessory.

I grew up with St. James striped polos.  The whole family had one and my favorite was the old one my grandfather wore.  I love the look of jean seberg, Brigitte Bardot, Audrey Hepburn in the ’60s with cropped jeans and ballet flats.  Picasso, Coco Chanel, James Dean, so many iconic pictures, great selection of images on this page .
Now Marinieres are everywhere in every shape and fabric.  Jean Paul Gaultier never stops reinventing it even in his couture shows and they are still my favorite classics.  The softest is my linen Earnest Sewn and See by Chloe has a striped inside out sweatshirt in the resort collection. Can’t wait!

Just arrived in Palma. The ugly doll came with me. Just need to find her a bathing suit.

Shooting Outside Makes You Meet New Friends.
North of LA has beautiful ranches. We shot the Jessica Simpson campaign on one of them.

We had to fight lots of bugs and goats. They seemed to really enjoy our company.

Jessica is a high heels super pro. I wasn’t paying too much attention until I tried a pair. There is a little cushion right where it usually hurts after few hours on my feet. They make you really tall and should still leave you with enough money to buy something else.
Theses are coming out in July: Jessica Simpson Collection.

Alexander Wang’s resort collection.
Windbreakers, dresses that look like wetsuits, totally watersport inspired…. Maybe something to do with his new line of bathing suit?
Flats or high heels. Night or day. Very versatile. Have to love it.

Or Black And White….
After all, these colors, black and white feel so right. It is the fun of fashion, going from one extreme to the other.

Sun Calls For Colors

Specially on my nails.

Orange pedicure or orange shoes?

Zoya has beautiful brights. I tried the pink on my toes and loved it.

I know. It looks a little bit like an alien from outer space, but it is just me. Sometimes, I can’t resist trying the clothes on.

I am working on a color story for Marie Claire…. Brights only. They look so good together, like candy. The closet is a magic room full of clothes and accessories. At the end, if I get anything that’s bright, I will pair it with jeans (or I may get arrested by the fashion police).

The top is Calvin Klein, but what I really love is the little Jil Sander bag that I am holding tightly.

In the World of Luxury.
A very important part of my job is to go to showrooms and see new collections. It is sort of a pre-shopping, just a tease. But it gives me ideas or envies and helps to create story ideas. The Chanel appointment is always a very chic treat.
There was a lot of bling this time. Diamonds, metallics, nothing to complain about. I love what shines.

BLK DNM POP 1 Opening Party.
Nice music, drinks, pictures to be discovered in La Gazette. And a crush on a motorcycle jacket. I love them old, worn too much, under the rain, crushed and that one should aged pretty well.

The Jacket
