R.I.P. Daul Kim

My heart stopped when i read this... Daul Kim hanged herself yesterday in her Paris apartment, in the 10th arrondissement. This is insane. Why? She was even on this november's Russh cover. The last post of her very popular blog, iliketoforkmyself was entiled "say hi to forever" and written the day before she died... I wonder what the hell must've gone so wrong.

Seeing red

Though i'm not so much into bright colors, i've really been feeling red recently and apparently i'm not the only one. I loved how Alexa looked at the CFDA fashion fund. Plus she's in Jason Wu, whom i'm gorwing to love more and more, i think he's brilliant. Although i'm not crazy about flat shoes, i think they're adorable here.



And the ever so fabulous Karlie, in Costello Tagliapietra.


As well as another one of my faveskis, Kasia, in Rag & Bone.


Of course, LSD is a vision of coolness in SS 10 Proenza! Not too sure what Stam was thinking. I like the dress, but what's with the hair?

Off to the Salon Vintage

It's still so nice out here in Paris that i can still be insanely comfortable in shorts and just a leather jacket, albeit with a fur scarf... I'm one of those people who's always cold, and i know that if i were in Montreal right now i'd be doing some heavy layering. Unfortunately i didn't buy anything at the Salon Vintage (2500 euros for a Balenciaga coat is a little out of my price range), but my fancy was insanely tickled.

They never disappoint

You know how when some people are obsessed with say, a certain song, and they just play it in a loop cause they love it so much? I feel like i'm like that but for fashion. Point in case: images of Edita (model crush) by Solve (favorite photographer). Obviously these have less to do with fashion but more with the subject and the artistic vision. I am just floored. These people keep reiterating why i love them so much.

The Classics comeback

My apologies for the poor quality, but you catch my drift. I was inspired by The Sartorialist's recent photographs he calls "The Art of the Trench" because a trench coat is always elegant and of course, practical. And i was also perhaps fueled a little bit by my current obsession of all things preppy. Regardless of how simple this outfit is, and the fact that my coat is not Burberry, it is composed of timeless pieces (a crisp white shirt, denim, trench coat, fur, tall boots!) that simply never go out of style. Makes me feel like my boyfriend should be a polo player or something. Bring back the classics!

In the eyes

Perhaps Eva Herzigova's most popular role as the face of Wonderbra in '94. For non french speakers it says "Look me in the eyes... I said the eyes". Brilliant.

A pleasant surprise

Last saturday i received a text message from my dear friend and this is what it read:

OMG i'm sitting in the hair dresser's chair reading the december Galmour [the French one] and THIS is what i see!!!

She honors her name

I think these are quite arresting. I'm kind of blown away.

Flawless

Regular readers of this blog know very well that i'm in love with Toni Garrn. This time, Testino shot her and i can't stop staring at these photos. They are simply unreal.






And in the most perfect outfit ever...

A few muses

Not about style necessarily, but the kind of admiration that solely rests on the merit of their charisma, their free spirits and their anapologetic way to be themselves.

Hawt

Ranked no. 2 partier on Style.com (just take wild guess at who's number 1), Derek Blasberg shows us what he's made of with Leigh Lezark (of course), the ultimate guinea pig. Bless their souls.

Night owl

On my way to grabbing dinner with my lovely roommates, in the most romantic city in world.

She's human!

Oh Lara, you're just perfect.

To all my Dutch readers, if you are out there!

Ladies, i will soon be taking a little trip over to Amsterdam with my amazing Dutch roommate, Gerdine, and if you live there, or have ever been there and have any must go to shopping places, i need you to tell me! I'm counting on you!

A treasure

I'm a super crazed fan of all things vintage. Furniture, jewelry, books, and of course (and especially!), clothing. I like to go into these stores and pull out the most amazing piece... i love thinking about all the history that accompanies it: who was the previous owner? Why did they get rid of it? What era is it from? I wanted to share with you one of the most amazing pieces i've ever found in this fantastic little store in Paris on rue St-Honoré. I've been wanting to add a cape to my wardrobe for years (they just so chic!) but never found one that i truly fell in love with. When i came across this unique item in mint condition from the 60's, i just knew i had to have it. One side is in this warm grey tweed with silver buttons at the collar and the most fantastic part about it?? It's reversible! Turn it inside out and it becomes a chic black velvet cape in the softest material ever. When i laid eyes on it in the store, it actually felt like i was uncovering a treasure. I think it may have been waiting for me its whole life.

Spotted!

Gemma used to be one of my favorite models. Ever. I was so sad when she disappeared. I will eternally love her, but now i know why she hasn't gone back to modeling after The Black Balloon...

Best dressed at Chanel's winter fête

These two style icons look flawless, as per usual. I think their beauty and charisma play a very big part in their status as fashionistas extraordinaire cause they nail it every time and on other people, it just wouldn't be as good.

Miaow

I've had this coat for a few years now and i just love it. I even had my mom bring it to me when she came to visit a few weeks ago (thanks mommy!) - it had to be removed from my suitcase at the airport due to overweight baggage. It's from a really amazing vintage store in Toronto on Queen street west (for all you Canadians out there!), i don't remember what it's called, but whenever i make it to Toronto i always try to stop by. I had been looking for this exact coat for a long long time and there it stood, almost like a light shining on it from above, ready for me to take it home. That was 4 years ago and i still love it jut as much. Leopard print is a classic. And so are blue jeans, a cashmere and a schoolboy blazer.
