Will you help? My parents are planning a trip to Paris this fall and I was wondering if you wouldn’t mind sharing your favorites… It’s truly sad how many years it’s been since I’ve been there.
Do you know of any charming but affordable hotels? Mouth-watering patisseries? Secret gardens? Favorite cafes? Tiny museums that no one knows about? And of course, any Paris oriented blogs that you love would be a huge help. I know you all have the best taste and I’m hoping that some of you have been to Paris more recently than I have!
Merci beaucoup! xx

Just came across these art dolls from number8 on Etsy and this vintage bisque doll head is certainly channeling Sofia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette…

I am kind of having a freak out over this Marilyn Monroe leotard that’s up for auction this summer at Julien’s Auctions in Las Vegas. Don’t you love?? {Flip through the auction catalog here.}

I’m so sorry….I left without telling anyone where I was going! I spent a long Memorial Day weekend on the East Coast with my family, but I’m back now. Viva summer!

It’s going to be between 85 and 90 degrees here this weekend and I could not be more excited to spend the weekend outdoors! Have a great weekend! xx

Karl Lagerfeld presented his Chanel Cruise 2010 collection in Venice, and what a romantic thirties-inspired collection…
