Congratulations, Félicitations, Congratulazioni!

Sofia Coppola got married in Italy this weekend

in a beautiful, understated lavender Azzedine Alaia gown.

It wasn't at all what I expected:

{Bad joke...} Cheers to the happy couple!

V is for Victory

I am really liking the modern side-part victory rolls on this model (via Pixiemarket.com). The fact that they are set so loose and her hair is uncharacteristically long make an antiquated look feel fresh and not costume-y.

Here's how to do it (from caseybrowndesigns.com).

This front roll (Victory Roll) is impressive as well. (Via hair.becomegorgeous.com). Sadly, my 'do is way too short, platinum, and "Carol Channing meets drunk debutante" to try this at home.

Marc Jacobs, Chanel, Loeffler Randall, etc.

New items posted on eBay {HERE}. If you wear size 2 or shoe size 7, you're in luck!

Thanks for looking!

Paris, Mes Amours

Who knew ironing could be so glamorous? Only in Paris...


These lovely images were taken from Burlesque artist Dita Von Teese's WhoSay page.

And they got me thinking...


about a HEMINGWAY MUSE... a different exotic American beauty...

Who moved to Paris, danced, entertained, inspired artists and writers... all while taking advantage of all the wonderful things that Paris had to offer...

Josephine Baker, of course. Although, there are subtle differences... like, for example, I don't think Dita is a spy for the French Resistance, or has a pet cheetah... but, I wouldn't necessarily know that for certain.

Pretty fond of these looks... SOURCE
