A place where being in love with love, clothes, dreaming & globe wandering, are realized.
Where art, style, creative writing combine, to fashion a dreamily romantic display of curated look-books.
Pink lips are a really chic alternative to an expected red. Ive always been a fan of a good fuchsia or orange lip, and this matte lipstick by Nars comes in a few perfect shades! Try spicing up you're makeup routine with an unexpected shade this week! xxxC

I recently finished How to be Parisian Wherever You Are. Aside from losing my mind on the train after their Instagram handler commented on the AMAZING picture I posted of my copy of the book, I actually learned a few things. Firstly I have always known I’m different, but what I did not know, is I’m French. It’s clear to me after reading this book that my parents have lied to me. Lipstick to the grocery store on Sundays, obsessing on EBay waiting for that one investment piece to bid on, boyfriend new boyfriend, generally not making sense and not caring to at all, this book was amazing. So I decided to take matters into my own hands regarding my face. Its important, when being French, to look like you did not try, ESP while buying baguette. No Kim K contouring, not lashes, it’s about BB Cream and a lip you like. So here are my beauty picks, keeping it simple like the Parisian I am…

Nars lip in Heat Wave, Nail in The Lady is a Tramp, YSL 5.5
I approached the Sephora check out line with the intention to return the YSL mens scent I bought in my attempt to be a tomboy last week, not because my friend referred to it as, " Sheer department store," while the boyfriend described it as, "having a bite at the end,"but because I hated it ;)... The sales clerk quickly high-fived me as I told her I wanted to return it. She then proceeded to say, "girllllll we ALL have boy problems." I had two choices, 1, tell her I've never been happier in a relationship and that this was just a result of my fashion flippancy and attempt to be different, or 2, play into it. "I know, I hate men, I'm returning his sh*t after our last fight," I said. Long story short, were friends now, and go pick up what I got while, "returning his sh*t."

March 22,1992; My Golden Birthday
This year I had my golden birthday. It should have been called my porcelain birthday as I spent the whole evening taking copious tequila shots with my uncle and his friends in what by day is Modellounge under Coffee Shop in Union Square. The whole underground lair was rented out for his party, that happens to be the day before mine, so naturally when the drunken bar members found this out, it turned into OUR birthday at midnight. Tequila, my boyfriend, and all of our best friends, turned into too much tequila, angry best friends, and a lot of puking before my morning photo shoot.
As I lay in my bed to sick to move, I thought to myself; Kate Moss had to have had 1000 hungover mornings, I have to supermodel the fuck out of this and get up now, and that’s just what I did. I knew that when I invested $85.00 on the Kate book that it would come in handy as life long inspiration for my strung out mornings, giving me my guiding light of hope in the form or perky breasts, and feline eyes. I have only Kate to thank for showing up on set that morning, as a beacon of hope for all the models that, “went to hard” the night before. All jokes aside, ( “jokes”), I had the most perfect birthday doing what I love. Creating art with an amazing team of people who are inspired and kind, here is the product of my golden birthday!

Today I worked with an amazing makeup artist that was lucky, and more importantly talented enough, to work under Pat McGrath in Paris, for Givenchy’s spring runway show, that showcased the bejeweled tribal facemasks. There are moments in fashion when the amount of creativity displayed is literally mind blowing, and for me hearing about the 4-hour process just further solidified how truly talented and creative some in the industry really are. The precise and meticulous placement of the jewels, paired with the overall creative vision, was truly inspired.
Our on set discussion progressed further, landing on the topic of the shifting industry standards and norms. Everyone that works in fashion has his or her own experiences good or bad that have influence their ultimate opinion. Fashion has been hard to break into, and being respected isn’t something that comes easily or quickly. It’s an industry with little stability for models or makeup & hair artists, that creates and environment where people hide their tips and tricks, to maintain their coveted positions. What we all agreed on though, is the idea of a “shift in sharing”. People are sharing and collaborating more than ever these days. With YouTube tutorials readily assessable, DIY Instagram’s the norm, and magazine articles with step-by-step instructions, the environment around keeping secrets is changing. Competition is fierce in the fashion world, the way to win seems to lie in creating a persona that separates you from the thousands of other talented people fighting for your job, but being a newbie is easier than ever in the era of social media. Plus, word on the street is, Pat back stage at Givenchy, said she was impressed by the new batch of talent that assisted her, giving us hope that being talented and standing out, really does work in 2014. #backstageinspo
