That Bag...

Yeah... You know the one. You've seen it. Celine's Luggage Tote? Which seems to be available in every thinkable color and fabric combination?

Like...OMG, I drool! (with Rachel Zoe intonation of course)

I think I'll have the black on black leather & suede combo, thank you. Classic, timeless, luxe, LOVE!

So it's Emmanuelle...

As you might have noticed, I've been a bit low key on the post front lately. I'm sorry, but I've been ssoooo busy. Busy stuffing my face over the holidays. Busy shopping the sales (more on that later) Busy laying about scratching my belly and playing games on Le BF's i-pad... so yeah not busy at all, but not lazy either. To tell you the truth I just wasn't inspired to blog. Zero inspiration, nothing, zip, zilch. That doesn't mean I was under a rock some where though. I've not missed a thing.

Like the Emmanuelle Alt's appointment as Vogue Paris' editor in chief? Can I call 'em or can I call 'em... Okay, alright, so we didn't exactly need a crystal ball to predict that one. She really was the next logical choice. I've noticed that a lot of people are skeptical about her ability to run a magazine, but I'm all for giving everyone a fair chance. And lest we forget... she is one half of the fantabulous cool that is this pic.

Something tells me she'll do just fine.  What do you guys think?

P.S. Yes, we will now return to our regular programming.

Happy New Year!!!

I sat down to write a little retrospective of 2010, but I won't bother... other than to say that 2010 was a very good year for me and there is a lot that I'm thankful for. I'm looking forward to this new year with hope and optimism. I wish for you all (as I wish for myself) that your life blossoms to it's full potential, bringing with it the manifestation of all your dreams and aspirations! If there is one bit of advice I could give you, it would be to remind you that your life is yours and you, only you, form it. Have a blessed and happy 2011!!

The Heels have It....

Oh yes... Say it with me now: Ooooooh la laaaaaaaa...

Was it as good for you as it was for me? :-)  These lovelies are by Gianmarco Lorenzi and are on sale now at Farfetch.com for € 425!

Carine! Noooo!!!

British Vogue announced today that Carine Roitfeld will be leaving Vogue Paris at the end of January 2011. It isn't completely clear why she's leaving or what she plans do after that time other than that she has decided to "concentrate on personal projects"...

I have to admit that I'm a bit sad about this. Heck, I'm A LOT sad about this. I just can't believe it! Vogue Paris has become synonymous with Carine and now after ten years at the helm she's leaving! Oh God, I'm going to MISS her...

I'm really curious to know what those "personal projects" will be and if any of them have anything to do with Tom Ford's return to women's fashion. I just hope we will be seeing her around. She really is one of my heroes.  

I wonder who is going to replace her... Emmanuelle? Those are tough shoes to fill.

Mystery Solved...

Remember my "Hot Boy" post back in November? Well finally, I can put a name to that handsome face and fabulous style.

His name is Mboko Ndimba Mobutu. He's a stylist and fashion editor for Ghubar magazine and of course, like most fashion folk, he has a blog all of his own: MusicFashionArt. Which is as young, fresh & new as you would expect from someone with his impeccable taste. Definitely worth checking out.

My favorite outfit surprisingly is one of the most casual I seen of him.

So effortless and yet so very chic! If you want to know more about him, I also found an interview with him on Fashion Et Al. So check that out as well and keep your eye out for Mboko, he's one to watch!

Most Coveted: The Leopard Clutch

Every time I see a leopard print clutch I still longingly go: "Ooooooh want one!" Here are all the shots I've collected in my various inspiration files... so far.
