LOUIS VUITTON- MARC JACOBS EXHIBITION

 A few month ago I went to see the amazing Vuitton - Marc Jacobs exhibition retracing the collaboration of the amazing french Luxury house with the Amazing american designer. It was  fantastic to see the wall  displaying every style of  handbags MJ ever created for the brand From the fur messenger bag to the Mirrored speedy, the monogram denim and more.

Even more amazing were the Mannequins, custom made giant ball jointed dolls with incredible pose ability . The doll collector in me was squealing with glee...

 The tongue in cheek atmosphere of the exhibition was very refreshing , and really captured the Marc Jacobs spirit and irreverence without being tacky . One of my favorite part was the exotic section with croco headed mannequin  was actually wearing crocodile or the ostrich totally decked in ... you guessed it!

If you're planning to come to Paris this summer , do not miss this  exhibition !

Current obsession: Dyptique candles

It is only when the weather get colder and when it starts to get dark at 5 pm that I dream of cozying up at  home  in  my sofa with the latest magazine, the wonderful smell of a Dyptique candle  enveloping me. I love these moments of luxurious serenity. I also love the instant chic  the candle add to any tray, table or corner. 

I recently visited  the Louis Vuitton family house and factory in Asnières and was delighted to see that they had Dyptique candles burning  all around the house. Their scents of choice you may ask?  Cuir  and Feu de Bois !

Some of my favorite Dyptiques are Jasmin, Feu de Bois, Gardemia and the ever fabulous Baies even though right now my go to scent is Geranium Rosa.

Little Tip : alway trim your candle's charred wick in order to avoid smoking but also to have a nice little flame when your candle is burning instead of some scary disproportionate flickering fire hazard!

Que porte André Leon Talley quand il va faire du sport?

Bien connu des lecteurs du Vogue américain, André Leon Talley est l’un des critiques les plus influents du monde de la mode. Sa haute stature, ses costumes extravagants faits sur mesure et ses immenses lunettes noires ont fait de lui un personnage haut en couleur, sans qui les défilés n’auraient pas la même saveur. La question que je me suis posée aujourd'hui etait en fait "que portent les papes de la mode quand ils vont à la Gym?"
La réponse en images...
