Valentino Darling

Spotted this darling music video by Diane Birch on Christina’s fantastic blog and thought it would make you smile.  Happy lunch hour!

Daily Girl Crush

May we please discuss for one moment the cuteness that is Audrey Tatou?  From Amelie to Priceless to Coco Avant Chanel, this darling French girl always wins my heart.  The second I saw this photo I had to share—it’s particularly charming, don’t you think?

P.S. I’m making these “girl crush” posts daily from here on out.  Let me know if you have some Neo-Trad girl crushes I ought to feature! xx

Why I heart Jane…

Above is reason 1,001 why I adore my friend Jane Lilly Warren.  It’s a collage of her “future summer cottage.”  I mean really, could she possibly be any cuter/more talented/fabulous?  In case you’re new, Jane is a graphic designer in Manhattan and we went to school together in Switzerland.  She was also my former-Yugoslavia travel companion and we drank a lot of mai tais together at the hotel bar in Dubrovnik and shopped for carpets in Sarajevo, and wound up with a grand piano in our suite in Belgrade.  Anyway, if you don’t already read her blog, Lox Papers, you really must.  I heart you Miss Warren.

P.S. Fun fact: In the Wes Anderson film, The Darjeeling Limited, the suitcases have her initials!  I’m so jealous.

Diane Kruger Cool

The talented Garance Dore captured the darling Diane Kruger during their “pétanque” contest in Saint-Tropez this week.  They were in town for the Chanel Cruise Collection.  Isn’t Diane adorable with her hat and shoes and the pretty ribbon in her hair?  According to Dore, Miss Kruger “really spent her evening jumping around.  The girl is so cool.”  Love her and Garance both!
