A fun little treat for this Sunday morning… Straight from Jonathan Anderson’s instagram, a brief sneak preview of the Loewe SS2015 Book, Maison de L’Unesco, Paris, featuring my favorite model of the moment, Julia Nobis. The book will be out soon, with a tear-out poster...

The Céline Spring 2015 lookbook just launched and as always, I’m in love. The bold earrings and subtle hints of color and texture prove that simplicity is anything but boring....

Can you believe that Christmas is only seven short weeks away! But let’s not get ahead of ourselves just yet. My November list is full of things to look forward to this month…...
