SubscribeIt was our last day in the Museum and I felt completely inspired by a box of crayons meets Prada. The dress I am wearing below is vintage from the 1950′s and has the most amazing basketweave print in primary colors. The jacket is vintage Naf Naf (I am not kidding!) and once I removed [...]

“When Fashion and Art combine…”
The sun was shining but I spent my day indoors with my new abstract pants and abstract art at the Musée d’Art Moderne et d’Art Contemporain! This museum is not only a vault of modern wonders, but an architectural masterpiece set just outside of Nice’s old town. A maze of walkways and terraces link the [...]
“Natural Summer”
This summer is all about being natural, wearing feminine pieces, and investing into bold unique jewelry. I passed by the vintage shop (Caprice in Nice) and took some photos to show you what I am thinking about for the new season and why I want to wear everything in natural colors!!! I found this vintage [...]
Festival De Cannes!
That time of year is upon us and all the film glamourati have gathered in the Riviera for 2 weeks of fiesta, fashion, and of course…for the love of cinema. My favorite film stars were breathing the same hot Riviera air and walking on the same pavement as I in their Dior, Armani Prive, and [...]
illustrators that Rock + (one of my sketches)
As you might already know…I am a huge fan of fashion illustrations and love to draw my own. Laird Borrelli’s, “Fashion illustration Next” is the bible for illustration lovers. The book is nearly 200 pages of pencil drawing, graphic stenciling, and photoshop madness. So inspiring and a must read, with bio’s on all the artists and [...]
“Hello Leopard!”
I like to think that if I were a character of Gossip Girl I would wear this to school. This set of pictures was taken by my talented friend Maik before shooting at “Pour Vos Beaux Yeux”. The glasses are of course “Marchon”, the tee-shirt I bought somewhere in Chicago, the booties are FENDI, and [...]
“4 eyes”
Amongst a sea of tourists and “I love Riviera” tee-shirts, is a gem of a boutique called “Pour Vos Beaux Yeux”. A boutique carrying vintage eyewear dating back to the 1900′s and a collection of original retro frames one can only dream of. For you glasses enthusiasts, this shop is not to be passed up [...]
“Paris Video Clip”…
Just a little clip from Paris. The movement of our shoot that day was too good not to post and glue together with a little Louis Prima in the background!
Book Club
Oprah has one and I thought I could add one to the blog! My book club today includes 1. My sketch book 2. Anna Piaggi’s Fashion Algebra 3. Chinese Harper’s Bazar The sketch book is a great reference for what you have seen, dreamed, and where you want to go. I staple in receipts, business [...]
Feeling Fuchsia
As the rain clouds part in the sunny South of France, I decided to paint the old town pink with a girly frills and complimenting black accessories. A beautiful morning was the perfect occasion to wear one of my favorite dresses by “Huey Waltzer” from the early 1980s “En Francais”collection. The belt I believe was [...]
