What I’d like to wear now
I know, I’m repeating myself but I’d still like to wear the perfect faded, light blue, vintage-style pair of jeans. This month, I’d add patent boots, layers of sweaters and the new star of bags, aka YSL’s new version of the Sac de jour – a little softer, a little younger, a little more je … Read More
2 ideas for New Year’s looks
I always get very excited about holiday dressing – after all, when, if not now, are you going to dress up like you mean it? I’m talking sequins, sparkle, stones, patent and satin. Since I usually live in jeans, shirts and boots, every year as the holidays approach, I find that I don’t have enough “evening … Read More

The coat edit
What do you do when you’re sick in bed and it’s awfully cold outside? Sleep, read, listen to audio books and search for coats online. One of my favourite classic wool coats is a sale bargain by The Kooples, but it’s beginning to look a bit worn and I’d love to add another classic coat … Read More

As … Read More

My favourite things in June
Wow, I cannot believe that another month is coming to an end … And one of my favorites – if not number one – of the year. Since it’s my birthday at the beginning of June, this post will include one or two gifts (because, obviously, gifts from lovely people will always be favourite things). … Read More
Block-heel strap pumps – Luxury and budget
Valentino, Saint Laurent, Jimmy Choo, Aquazurra … all make patent or metallic, block-heel strap pumps this season that have an old-fashioned, slightly retro vibe but that are exactly the shoes you want to wear now! So amazing with distressed jeans and T-Shirts, so pretty with summer dresses! One night I fell in love with Aquazurra’s “Alexa” pumps and started … Read More
Summer in Vichy
Some prints practically scream summer: Breton stripes are one of them, polka dots, too, and vichy plaids another – and my current favourite. Believe it or not, I currently have not a single piece with vichy plaids in my wardrobe, not one. That certainly has to change. (I have my eyes on a swimsuit by … Read More
