Giovanna Battaglia ❘ Vintage YSL

GiovannaBattaglia

I remember seeing Giovanna after she nabbed this iconic vintage YSL tunic. She was so happy that she had found it. Me too, she looks stunning in it. Love how she styles it over a pencil skirt and pairs it with gorgeous black and white strappy pumps. Très Chic!

It's always amazing when you find gems like Giovanna's. Let me know if you find something special today at the markets or in the shops. Have fun!

Julia Restoin-Roitfeld ❘ Glowing

JuliaRestoinRoitfeld

News broke this past week that Julia is expecting her first child with boyfriend Robert Konjic. In this pic, Julia just glows outside the Rodarte SS12 show in a lovely floral mini. Love her accessories, the black with gold hardware adds a touch of chic-edge to the ladylike look. Congratulations to the gorgeous couple!

Jane Keltner deValle ❘ Sporty Chic

JaneKeltnerdeValle

It's looks like Jane's that get me up at 7 in the morning thinking of how I can get my hands on a particular item of clothing. I love her sweat shirt-plus-pleated leather skirt mix. As you may know, I'm very partial to chic sweatshirts. I have a really amazing Acne grey one that I wear all the time. But, it's really her leather skirt that has me strategically planning out my morning shopping. You see, I saw a gorgeous leather pleated Prada skirt at the beginning of the season that I painfully left on the rack. BUT now, I have a fun party this afternoon in Alba in Piedmont. All families, a billion babies, plus it's super chilly in the region this time of year. Jane's look is absolutely the perfect solution. Sporty chic top on top (good for running after four-year-old with intentions of destroying hostess's contemporary art installations); sleek, posh bottom for dual purpose of (1) impressing the other chic moms and (2) the just-above-the knee length will allow me to elegantly bend down to clean up the inevitable spilled cup of water. Hmm, hope that skirt is still there. Going to make a cup of coffee now. I've got a lot to do this morning.

lucy chadwick by the selby for zara

i came across this gorgeous video + couldn't help but share.
i got emotional watching this, as often happens when i am so inspired by something.
lucy chadwick is so much what i aspire to be in regards to both my personal style + lifestyle.
her effortless looks + her (brooklyn?) home are amazing! i appreciate the simplicity most.
hearing her talk about her art + being involved with art installations reminds me that i haven't picked up a paint brush since college, which is so sad. as an art major, i was painting + creating 24/7. it's definitely something i want to start doing again. another thing to add to my long list!

ps- make sure to check out lucy's london home. it's just as charming!

Retro Chic, Margherita Missoni



MargheritaMissoni

Margherita is retro chic in a bold mix of Missoni and Giambattista Valli. Her look brings me back to images of style icons during the late 60s.  I totally see Talitha Getty on the roof top in Marrakesh in the iconic Patrick Lichfield photograph, or Jackie O in a silhouette that she might have worn to an evening out at the Metropolitan Opera.

Faith

Faith

I was browsing through some fashion images the other day and came across a story on faith inspired-jewelry, e.g., crosses and other religious symbols. The piece immediately brought me back to this picture that I snapped after the Louis Vuitton SS12 show. Blue and black is one of the chicest combos ever and the white cross pops straight off her irreverently-short mini. What would the nuns say? I think that they would look the other way as this look is faithfully chic.
