NEW IN "JACKETS"

 

As I was on my way to buy fabric for new DIY's, I spotted this A.M.A.Z.I.N.G turquoise vintage leather jacket hanging outside a vintage shop and I literally RAN Forrest Gump style across the street (Picture me wearing 12cm heels as I do this, God forbids someone gets there 5 seconds before and buys it before me). 

I tried it on just so I could justify buying it, although deep within me I knew I would as soon as I spotted it across the road.

Now the million dollar question is; How do i get that horrid vintage smell off it? You obviously cant wash leather and the dry cleaner across the road said he cant either...Do you have any suggestions?

The second jacket is my latest ACNE purchase. I went to the acne shop and I sinned again, it almost seems impossible not to.

RUN IT SIMPLE

 

Lite såhär såg jag ut häromdagen, i byxdress från stylesofia, väska lindex & jeffreycampbell skorna! Gillar att köra på enkelt ibland, särskilt när små detaljer som hålen på axlarna lyfter upp hela plagget. Dagen spenderas inne på myrornas secondhand, för att sedan kolla på pirats of the caribbean med min fining. Hoppas ni får en helt underbar torsdag vänner!
This is how I looked last day, in a jumpsuit from stylesofia, bag from Lindex & the jeffreycampbell boots! I like to run it easy sometimes, especially when small details like the holes on the shoulders lift up the whole garment. The day is spent on my practice, and then I’ll watch the new Pirates of the Caribbean. Hope you have a wonderful Thursday friends!

down came the rain

The weather was dreadful yesterday. I'm usually a fan of rainy days, but I think it's because I grew up in Florida thinking that a rainy day was either a sunny day with welcome, sporadic showers or a straight up hurricane. Hurricanes are awful - I've lived through some doozies - but when I was little, I enjoyed the days off of school, the camp-life living, hurricane parties and playing in the fallen trees. New York rainy days are just cold, dark and very wet.

Since we couldn't take Miku for her playtime at the dog park, we headed to Red Hook to eat lobster rolls and chowder. Bobby had a shrimp roll, because he doesn't know what life is, but he'll figure it out sooner or later. If you haven't had a lobster roll from the pound, let it be known that they are really good and reasonably priced. Perhaps it's because I'm accustomed to the Brooklyn Fish Camp $35 price tag for a tiny roll, but at $15 with chips and a pickle, Red Hook's prices are alright by me.

After our delicious meal, we headed back to the apartment so that I could hide my wretchedly frizzy hair under a hat, then headed to a Gucci cocktail party and preview at Cipriani. As glamorous as that sounds, I fell while walking down their stairs. Hands and knees, bam. Karen was a witness. The end.

De retour à Paris demain pour vous révéler encore plus de beautés naturelles

Black is beautiful my friends ! Tomorrow, I’m back in Paris to reveal more natural beauties.  Thats the magic of Style and the City’s humanist street style !
Mes amis, j’espère que vous avez passé un aussi bon week end que moi à Bordeaux, au bord d’une piscine après avoir fêté l’anniversaire de l’un de mes meilleurs amis, Stéphane. Je n’ai pas pris de vacances depuis 6 ans. Il m’arrive 1 fois par an en moyenne de m’évader de Paris et Dieu ! Que cela me fait du bien. Mais il suffit de quelques jours hors des rues parisiennes pour ressentir un manque. Et il suffit de me replonger dans mes archives pour vous faire comprendre la nature de ce manque. Il n’est plus question de street style mais de beauté naturelle, révélée par l’amour de l’être qui vous porte.

Getting all enchanted forest doesn't have to be part of blogging I suppose but sometimes it just seems right? Even though I know it's wrong. I'll blame the weather skipping forward to summer in a very immediate way a few days ago.

The past couple weeks I feel like I've been trying to realign..new yoga studio, catching up with a few of my oldest friends, watching documentaries instead of old seasons of 30 Rock, running a couple miles a day with Colin, upping my kale and oolong tea intake about a thousand percent, tackling trying to make the most out of a seemingly hopeless closet situation, getting started on a couple very different new projects, spoiling Kumo, making some selective Nars and Kiehl's purchases, and generally enjoying staying in one place. Being aware that I still have a million things I should be doing at all times only almost ruins it. Life is good when it's 80 degrees at sunset in LA..
