Boyish Look

A pair of Topshop Oxford shoes,distressed denim shorts and a man shirt from Earnest Sewn.
That’s how my assistant showed up this morning. It is such a simple look but she looks really cool and won’t be trampling in high heels shoes when we’re on set. I think high heels on set are a little ridiculous,can you really move theses big trunks with your Louboutin? Only few chosen ones can!

Puppy Love

One day with Erin and this little puppy is already bag trained, plane trained and the star of the day.
If you want to travel with your dog the way models do, start early. They learn to love their bag very fast.

Plein Soleil

We Loved
The Talented Mr. Ripley but the original movie with Alain Delon, Plein Soleil is a classic not to be missed, on a very hot day with a glass of Pastis maybe.

Marblehead is the birthplace of the U.S navy and the place where I came for the 4th of July. I am staying in a 300 years old house,it’s charming. There is a roof with a view of the harbor. We are getting ready for the big BBQ tomorrow. Lobster and white wine …..

Watch Your Back

07.01.11 § Leave a comment

One of the big questions that come up in interviews is, what tip can you give us when we get dressed? The first thing that always comes to my mind is, turn around (or I guess 45 degrees) and make sure everything looks ok from the back. So many things can go wrong, weird bra straps, too much bra showing, wrong underwear that gives your an unflattering butt, skirt too short, tainted dress, jeans too small,…. And you can’t even see the amused or horrified face of the witness who is behind you. So last thing before leaving the house, a splash of perfume and a last look in the mirror front and back.

Hermes at the Beach

Bleached by the sun,
They are like little paintings. Each year new artists make beautiful designs. I love them at the beach and also in the house. Pareos can cover a chair; Scarfs can be sewn together to make cushions or framed like a photo.
When I get to a new hotel room, I nest. Part of nesting for me is to un-pack and throw Hermes scarfs on top of the lamps. It gives a pretty soft light as long as the bulb isn’t too strong. I haven’t set any rooms on fire yet!

Marine and Goyard

Marine Dupre is my 19 year old niece who lives in Paris and came to Palma de Mallorca for a visit while she waits to hear if she got her baccalaureate before taking off for more vacations if she passes. Fingers crossed!
Her summer bag is a pretty blue Goyard with a bright orange stripe. She fills it up with many little pouches witch is very useful when it flips over on the beach.

Le Panier D’osier

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.

Stripes!

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!
