Bonjour!

Loulou de la Falaise, muse of YSL

Good morning! It is such a beautiful and cool morning today in Miami. This is perhaps my favorite time of year, where the humidity in Miami is no longer suffocating us and we can lunch outside, and pretend we are in Paris.

I just read this lovely article, "What Do French Women Have, That We Don't?" (us girls in America) This article is a good reminder to us all, on how we shouldn't focus so much on the concept of beauty equaling perfection, but rather evoking an attitude of spirit and slight imperfection.

If you really want to be a Parisian woman, follow these 10 rules: 

1. Cultivate austere beauty
2. Don't smile much
3. Nail the "I don't think so, but I guess if you do.." look

4. Be thin
5. Indulge in moderation
6. Look sober, even if you're not
7. Smoke (this one is questionable)
8. Don't stay single
9. Adore New York
10. Know where to shop


Speaking of knowing where to shop, here are the top 10 shopaholic cities in the US.

Jack trying on my Wiloughby's

I finally received my home try-on kit by Warby Parker late in the evening yesterday. I must say I was very impressed with the sleek little black box the frames came in. I have 5 pairs to test out for 5 days, until I decide which ones I'd like to order. The only problem is, I love them all! So typical of me.

Warby Parker makes vintage-inspired eye wear for men and women that are not only super cool, but super affordable too (free shipping included) and excellent customer service.

Of the 5 frames I received yesterday, the Wiloughby in Tennessee Whiskey are currently at the top of my list. Oh yeah, they make sunglasses too. I think I may get me some of those too!

Thanks WP. I <3 you forever.

So Dreamy....

Just wanted to share this photo with everyone. As you can see, I do have a love for vintage.

DVF - Vintage Print Resurrection

I am definitely drooling over DVF's vintage print collection!

I am loving this look and this laney cord dress and this super cool printed nylon bag.

See below for other looks I am digging for Fall/Winter 2011-12.

These hats, a-la-Charlie Chaplin style are all the rage and can be purchased here and here and here.
