Cocktail Rings

 
 
The Holiday Season means many Holiday Cocktail Parties and I am thinking that what better way to look classically gorgeous than investing in one or two delicious black dresses and piling on colorful and sparkle pops through chunky cocktail rings?  I love these from Free People... the RL stylists do an awesome job, but NO ONE does it like the Free People team.  I salivate while looking at their catalogs... the cutest of the cute AND the comfiest of the cozy.

Jen Renning

Beautiful collages by Jen Renning.  

I would love to receive a postcard like that in the post.  

Last night I went to see The Madison Square Gardeners at the Highline Ballroom (they were fantastic), and today I'm just hangin', ready to plan my day...

Lovely day to all of you! XOXO Paris

La Collectionneuse

Doing my model research for an upcoming RL shoot, I stumbled upon these pics.  I love love love these photos of model Emma Balfour shot by Terry Richardson and styled by Emmanuelle Alt.  I literally want to be this character - dressed up in a gorgeous Penny Lane-esque fur jacket, taking dreamy photographs and chilling out in nature and basking in all its glory.  She reminds me of a modern day Anita Pallenberg (my personal style hero; now and forever).  She's tough but feminine, solitary but having fun.  The simplicity of the landscape and the styling transcend to a timeless edge, and I really really adore it all. 

Lazy Saturday!  Right now coffee & toast, later: who knows?

American Girl

Don't all these images have such an Americana feel?  I'm feelin' a bit patriotic... Georgia O'Keefe's painting Cow's Skull: Red, White, and Blue (the last image) conveys O'Keefe's symbolic America - she represents the nation through the weathered cow skull that has endured so much and will continue to do so.  From blue jeans, to vintage cars, to summer days, to music legends and tragedies like Gram Parsons, each picture displays its endurance and classic American flair... and I think that is really something special. 

Have a lovely day! XOXO Paris

La Moda di Bambini

J'adore the Stella McCartney for Gap Kids line!  I wish I had a little kiddie so I could dress them up in every single piece of the collection.  OR I wish that I was itty bitty so I could wear the cashmere leopard tunic or the Balmain-esque Sergeant Pepper jacket.  I also love love love the whimsical advertising; so darling - the models are such cooooool kids.  Now, I'm relaxing over a glass of vino rojo... Had a great day of boot trying-on (finally found a kick ass knee-high pair; eek sorry bank account) and flea market browsing!

XOXO Paris 

Lady Loves

I absolutely adore these images... the female characters in them are intriguing and stunning. From the black and white image of Bardot to the practically neon painted girl, every single photograph exudes a lovely lure or magic and dazzling elegance.

Window Shopping

 

 
 

 
The other day I met my Mommy (a Bergdorf Goodman employee) at her store for a lunch date.  After my soup and her salad, we walked a bit around the store, but out of everything - all the jewelry, fur vests and stir about Halle Berry in the shoe department an hour earlier, the most stunning and amazing thing to me were the window displays.  The story, styling and design behind each window was truly mesmerizing and I was so blown away.  These are some shots I took.  I can't wait to visit her and window browse when they do their Christmas display!  

I have the day off so I'm going to do a bit of shopping and potentially attempt to make a good vegetarian chili for dinner tonight.  yum yum yum!

Have a lovely day! XOXO

Sexy Spawn

  
When two of the sexiest members of the human race reproduce, you know it's going to be pretty gorgeous.  Jerry Hall and Mick Jagger's daughter Georgia May is stepping into the limelight with campaigns for Hudson Jeans, Rimmel makeup and now a cover for British Vogue.  She's a perfect mixture of her parents - she has Hall's blonde locks and leggy bod and Jagger's notorious pout and oozing sex appeal.  I think she's absolutely stunning and obviously anything Mick touches is golden. 

Going to walk through the park and meeting my Mama at Bergdorf's and then lunch :)

XOXO

Monday Dreamboat

 

Since I look at pics of this guy basically everyday at work, I thought I should shed a little more light on him.  Oriol Elcacho - total and complete Spanish dreamboat model.  It's as if he's too perfect!  And, the name Oriol is so classy and unique.  

Have a lovely fall day! XOXO p

Fashionable Flick

The Talented Mr. Ripley is such a stylish film.  I don't LOVE the movie, but the lifestyle Gwyneth, Jude and Matt's characters live in is unbelievably chic and I would die to live in their Italian coastal villa and zip around on a vintage vespa in a beachy, fresh white frock.  

Hello November!
