I'm suddenly starting to feel at home...


Such a sense of comfort when I see Angelique's photo wall. You're really settling down when you start hanging pictures on your wall, which was one of the first things I did when I arrived in the City.

By the way, isn't her blazer tres chic? So now? So London? Because it's London Fashion Week right?
Only she will tell you the story of how she made such a smart acquisition.

I grew up with Tim Blanks.


Couldn't believe my eyes when I saw him at New York Fashion Week! I also spotted Hilary Alexander from The Daily Telegraph, whom I followed on television ever since I was a little girl.

Quirks



It's all about great colour combinations and funfunfun for Spring 2010. Phil and Isabel do it so well at New York Fashion Week.

Qu'est-ce que l'amour?


Je suis l'amoureuse. It's the end of summer, but I'm still crazy inspired by love. Love is...

...my beautiful friends Yonathan and Suzy walking at the Pier 17 Seaport in New York...
...capturing my sister on the Brooklyn Bridge when she was visiting me for a week...
...a small bag that's crossed over your chest...

...or a 1970s single lens pro camera crossed over your chest...

...a hat...

Love is great fashion done effortlessly because you are no longer following the consciousness that overrides your natural intuition and tells you to put on the "proper" outfit in the morning. Suddenly, you can breathe. You pack lighter, need less, and you feel like it's just you and love standing between the ground and the sky. France's (fashionable) first lady, Carla Bruni, describes this feeling with such perfect score in her uplifting music video,
L'amoureuse, which I would LOVE to share with you.
