homemade.
I feel a DIY project coming on.
Love anything Isabel Marant touches, but this little hoodie feels just right. And I kind of like the idea of creating something myself rather than buying into the retail machine all the time.

Oh Venice. Just as I was convinced that minimal, fine jewelry was my thing you come along with these babies.
Dangly and light yet sure to turn heads, I can safely say I would find a way to don these daily…with jeans and a tee or with a gown equally entrancing.

sublime.
Looking back always seems the best inspiration when looking forward.
Be it Jane, Brigitte or Edie, there’s just no way a modern woman can match up. We’re just too preoccupied with everything that’s going on around us and don’t have enough time to just let things fall into place.
I’ll be headed back to Europe in October and can’t wait to take on board a...

This is the one. The fragrance that feel oh so right and years later still remains my favourite.
Byredo always creates something unique but Gypsy Rose is such an intoxicating mix of creamy lemon pie, fresh soil and sandalwood that I’m totally sold for life.

So beyond tempted. If only I had found a hairdresser I trust here in Mexico. The moment I do this will be happening. You only live once right?
