Loud Logo Bags Make a Quiet Comeback
The last two issues of Vogue Paris have been filled with initials. Carine splayed her pages with LVs, GGs, Fs, and Cs on handbags, weekenders and trunks. I’ve never owned a logo bag–save for my mini Liz Claiborne, gifted at age 5–but lately…I don’t know…that Céline bag…. Be forewarned: Logo bags are back. In the Read more →

In Our Dreams Coachella’s Full of Chloé, Sunshine & Christopher Kane
We love Coachella for a number of reasons: 1. The music, of course. 2. The warm, sunny weather. 3. The phenomenal street-style.

Bonnie & Clyde, And The Films That Inspire Our Real Life Wardrobes

My First Phoebe Philo Show: Céline AW10
13:01 Céline’s venue is practically empty. It’s not that everyone doesn’t want to see Celine, but that the show’s being held in tennis courts in the suburbs. Thank goodness for the fashion bus. 13:05 I realize I’m blinded by love for Phoebe Philo. At this point, if she sends out burlap sacks I’ll love it. Read more →
