Paris Fall 2014: Comme des Garçons Comme des Garçons

There’s just something about Comme des Garçons Comme des Garçons styling that always draws me in. Quirkier than I’d usually select, but so eminently appealing in its quirkiness. I’m like a moth to a flame whenever I visit Dover Street Market’s Comme Comme selection on the 4th floor. See the fall collection at Style.com.

Paris Fall 2014: Céline

Come for the handbags (seriously: how does Phoebe Philo and her team constantly come up with the most unique/intriguing/covetable designs?) + stay for the utilitarian luxe urban wear. Save the crazy primary-colored summer collection, I am obsessed with all things Céline. See all of the fall collection photos at Style.com.

Photo Faves: February 2014

Finally, it’s March, and I suspect some of you are more than ready to put an end to winter. For me, moving to London was a welcome change in weather patterns. (And yes, I got carried away this year with photos of flowers and green, much to the consternation of those trapped in the Polar Vortex — but can you blame me? I’d suffered cabin fever for so long that this year’s string of perma-50 degree(ish) days felt like a gift.)

To celebrate/mark the end of winter, here are a few of my February photo favorites:

  1. Stanley Park, Wednesday morning.
  2. Eagle on Watch
  3.  Untitled
  4. did you know that wilma just got a BOOK DEAL? …. (I cannot wait.)
  5. 2014.2.4: green tea morning
  6. #vscocam kitchen details #emmabridgewater
  7. now
  8. Today is a good day ….
  9. and then just like that you say yes ….
  10. Happy Friday!
  11. I love coming home to ….
  12. Camellias are crazy gorgeous right now…

Vanessa Bruno’s fall show played it chic and simple, with wisps of slip dresses, go-with-everything separates, and a skosh of sequins. Of course, I loved it. See the complete collection at Style.com.
