Dress Envy
Of all the beautiful Saint Laurent printed dresses for SS15, this one, on a Paris show-goer, is my favorite. The colors are so pretty.

Flower Power
Out-of-town friends often ask which florist I use. Miho Kosuda has been my go-to forever, her garden roses are heavenly. Since garden roses are so fragrant, I usually send a small, silver cupful. Bergdorf Goodman put together this story on some of the best NYC florists and happily, Miho is listed.

The Espadrille Sandal
I’m digging the espadrille-sandal hybrid that Miuccia Prada has designed for both of her lines. I love the look of the Miu Miu gladiators but, they were too much work—these Prada double-strap espadrilles are chic and easy.

Books
‘A Spool Of Blue Thread’
I just put the new novel by the Pulitzer Prize-winning author, Anne Tyler, on my Kindle. I’ve read most of her books and loved them all.

That ’70s Show
This is a story that I would expect to see on a teenager so, it’s refreshing that it’s on 37 year-old Malgosia Bela. Fashion can be ageless.

Spring Forward
With the clocks moving forward this weekend, and my upcoming trip to L.A., I’m getting excited for longer and warmer days ahead. The Frame Denim campaign is the basis for my packing list. I’ve ordered these jeans, and if they fit, I’ll get two pairs—one to keep long, and one to shorten to above the ankle. TBC.
Frame Denim blouse, Frame Denim jeans, Tomas Maier sandals (I’m really into black sandals after years of wearing dark brown), Diptyque mini candles, LL Bean travel tote (I have the long handles).

Inspired By
‘Dark Shadows’
I’ve been on a movie binge, both new and old. ‘Dark Shadows’, Tim Burton’s take on the late ’60s TV show, is not the best film but the costumes are great. As the fashion flock heads to Paris today for the final leg of the month-of-shows marathon, I thought I’d run these pics from the 2012 movie since, I spy what looks like SS15 Valentino and Saint Laurent on Michelle Pfeiffer.

I love these crisp, white looks in the March issue of Vogue Spain. Spring cannot come soon enough.

‘It’s A Crock’
Years ago, we bought a crockpot to make slow-cooked meals. Problem was, the pot was so enormous, it took forever to prep the amount of food to fill the damn thing. I think I made one pot of stew and then gave the the crockpot away.
After seeing these recipes in the recent GOOP newsletter, I’m inspired to try again. On cold winter weekends, a slow-cooked meal sounds divine.

On The Hunt For
The Length I Love
Whether it’s 1″ or 3″, I like my jeans above the ankle for spring. Although I love the length, I’m on the hunt for a pair with less volume than the culottes pictured in Elle—I want just a bit of a flare. Many readers rave about the Alexa Chung for AG Revolution Jeans.

SS15 Collection
The New Gucci
After the Gucci men’s show last month, I was curious to see Alessandro Michele’s debut womenswear collection for the house. I’m not into hairy shoes and sheer tops, but these three coats are okay. Thoughts on the show?
Vanessa Freidman’s review in The New York Times is a good read.
