Nobody Lives to be 300 Years, Like the Way it Used to Be

Bette Davis said "Old age is no place for sissies". Me, I can't wait to get old. Sure it comes with achy joints and a lifetime of felt emotions but all that in exchange for wisdom and a well lived life, a sense of security and establishment. Sure I'm romanticizing the process but I tend to do that...
Also I hope that I'm half as fabulous as these women.


Coco Chanel

Jane Birkin

Lou Lou de la Falaise (Yves Saint Laurent's Muse!)

and of course, Audrey.

Une femme est une femme.

I don't really have a fashion icon (I like to think my style is all my own) but if I did, Anna Karina would be my muse.


Lovely, no?


I NEED red tights.

Are you in love yet?

Am I out of line to say this is the best fashion shoot Vogue has ever done? The high fashion magazine brings to life a classic fairytale in which Model Natalie Vodianova poses as Lewis Carroll's beloved literary icon, Alice, alongside designers dressed as Wonderland's whacky inhabitants. You couldn't ask for a more beautiful collision of fashion and whimsy.

Better yet, see the original documentary.

Marie Antoinette Heels

Let me Start by saying I loved Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette. I can't decide which scenes I enjoyed more, the ones involving pastries or those involving shoes. Anywho... Christian Louboutin created these limited edition heels as an homage to the last queen of France herself and while the $6,000 price tage is questionable, what else is questionable is whether or not you like them? Honestly, I sort of love them. I think they are so fun to look at and as soon as I saw them my mind was all aflutter about with what would I wear them. I'm thinking little shorts.


Also, enjoy this.

You are at the Beginning.

Glamour Magazine is celebrating its 70th anniversary this month and their website is featuring young stars as American Icons. Here are a few of my favorites.

Alexis Bledel as Rosie the Riveter


Paula Patton as Billie Holiday


Odette Yustman, Spencer Grammer, Rumer Willis as The Women of Woodstock

I'm curious as to how they chose the "Icons". Carrie Bradshaw made the list? what?
