Off to London for the Holidays! Back soon. images from Wild at Heart.

First winter in Paris.

Just checked out the new Contributor Magazine and discovered among many other great things, this behind the scenes look at a shoot Wes Anderson did for a commercial. Love that he always has his crew with him.
Unrelated to Wes, but I’m very jealous of this photo from Contributor mag.. I could go for a stack of pancakes at the Chateau right now.

Walking through the Marais I came across the Slow and Steady Wins the Race Noel pop up shop. A beautifully currated small space, where in addition to being able to find some of Mary Ping’s goods, there are also surprises and pieces on display by artist’s Miranda July, Terence Koh, Tauba Auerbach, and many many more. I love the pine tree branches everywhere and the fake fox stoles are so cool!

Open until December 24th at 78 rue des Archives 75003 Paris

I just came across this site called Studio Too Good, and was completely transfixed! I should have realized sooner by the style as well as the name that Faye Toogood is behind it. Blowing my mind! I love it all. via Hello Sandwich.

Just discovered a beautiful new collection of clothing by Stanard Finery. Makes me want to run back to Jones beach in NY, and wish the winter away. These relaxed, sans sloppyness pieces are the missing links in my wardrobe.

New in the shop are these flag pins, previously exclusively sold at Colette, each one is unique, hand painted, and will automatically increase the insanity of any outfit.

Phoenix – 1901 – A Take Away Show from La Blogotheque on Vimeo.

I love these take away concerts, the way that they capture the spirit of a moment while a band wanders through the city, and there is something particularly nice about this one being a band that sells out stadiums still being able to play outside near the eiffel tower, and still capturing that same spirit.
Being sick all week has been terrible! I’ll be back soon with new items in the shop.
