Blue and White

I think I’ve been bitten by the blue-and-white bug– love these plates by Aerin Lauder for Williams Sonoma.

An Easy Dress

This Tibi dress (and here) looks like it could be a forever piece in my wardrobe– it’s good in white, too. I’d close the side slits and shorten to my knee.

‘Hauts de formes’

I love the fun tops in this April Vogue Paris story– I am so ready to put away my turtleneck sweaters.

Jigsaw: Inspired by New Wave Cinema

Handbag designer Agnes Baddoo told me about this charming film on the Jigsaw site– enjoy!

The adorable actress Leonora is somehow related to Priscilla Woolworth, an early kic profile…

Rainy Run-Around

The good news is that the temps are on the rise, the bad news is that rain is forecast for 5 of the next 10 days– oh well.  There are tons of great trench coats available right now, but when I’m running errands and in and out of the car, I prefer a shorter jacket. Stockholm-based Stutterheim raincoats are just the ticket.

agnès b.: Styliste

Fellow blogger Navaz Batliwalla, editor of the fab site Disneyrollergirl (and author of The New Garconne: How to be a Modern Gentlewoman, my favorite style guide, ever), did a fantastic post on Agnès b’s new book, Styliste.

Charlotte Gainsbourg x Nars

Musician, actress, Parisian cool-girl, and daughter of famous parents– Charlotte Gainsbourg collaborated on a makeup line with Nars and Vogue has the scoop in the April issue.

All Tied Up

The corset is everywhere and my onetime Vogue co-worker Anne Slowey wrote a funny and thoughtful piece on it’s comeback for The Wall Street Journal.

Holiday N° 379

Issue N° 379 of Holiday, which is all about California, is on newsstands. I can’t wait to see the stories by Inez and Vinoodh and Lachlan Bailey, they look amazing.

The map in the English architect-decorator Ben Pentreath’s London home made me think of a map of Paris that I waffled on a few years ago.
