Last week in Paris we took a break from the shows to see Delfina Delettrez’s jewelry presentation at the refreshingly open, light-filled (and cool!) Espace Rabih Kayrouz. And we were so glad we did.

It’s a super-sized best dressed list this week, and the glam quotient was high.

Michelle Monaghan, Leighton Meester, and Kate Bosworth all radiated ladylike perfection Read more →

In honor of Christmas fantasies, we’ve picked out the gifts we dream of receiving one day. Let’s hope Santa Karl is in a giving mood this year.
