Bye bye Lindsey Lohan - what a hot mess of a quick fling designer that was – and hello Giles Deacon!
I for one am anxious to see what comes down the runway next fashion week. Deacon has taken over Emanuel Ungaro as Creative Director.
He is known for his own line since 2004 but has also “spent time at the Louis Vuitton, Bottega Veneta, and Gucci studios, among others, and he’s honed his knack for mixing superior craftsmanship with whimsical irreverence.” according to Style.com

Coco Avant Chanel (original title)/ also called Coco Before Channel is set to be released soon, perhaps in April of this year and I just can’t wait to see it. It stars the magical Audrey Tautou from Amelie ( the original title in French was Le Fabuleux Destin d’Amélie Poulain).
It’s seriously one of the best darn movies ever made, her role was paramount to its success. If you love Kitch, Paris and the little intricacies that make up life you need see this movie now ( don’t put it off for seven years like I did). I watched it last Wednesday night on French public TV, Paris Premiere.
It will take you into the train stations of Paris, the Bars of Monmartre and tiny french streets filled with people bustling around to buy fresh grocery or just sipping on some Kir and people watching – this movie was one only a good story teller could tell, Jean-Pierre Jeunet is a master story weaver. And I can’t wait to see Audrey in a role that’s once again challenging yet monument, Coco Chanel changed fashion and the lives of so many women in the making.
here’s some pictures from the upcoming film staring Audrey Tatou, directed by Anne Fontaine.
So cute!

emmanuelle esther makes jewelry and accessory designs that are different from the mainstream, but in a unobtrusive, funky and appreciable way that you can get down with. You know, its kind of like a soft rebellion.
I think I first came across a ring she designed out of yarn and gold featured in French Vogue (might have been Elle), can’t remember point is it was definitely immediately put on my want-it-right-now list!
Take a looks for yourself, I’m sure you’ll agree her accessories collection is just cute as hell!
*Her site is in French, she lives in NICE, but send her an email, I mean everyone speaks Englsih these days

Same sexy style different price points:
We are in the middle of winter, it’s still cold and mushy out, but that doesn’t mean you have to give up being hot and sexy. These winter boots are perfect because the padding keeps your legs warm, and they have a cool street edge without being as rough or ugly as UGGs or Emus ( yes, yes. I know you’re a die hard fan, but seriously they’re hideous, and yes i used to have a pair, who am I kidding we’re all just fashion victims, but wake up and realize that unless you’re in the backwoods somewhere of out climbing a mountain, these boots should not be walking around Madison avenue). These are a more elegant alternative that can even be worn to work.
Pedro Garcia, Agatha Quilted Platform Boot
Ash, Naomi Tall Puffy Nylon Boot
Can you tell which one is $287.50 and which is $63.00?
Both available online at Shopbop.com I love that store and now there are tons of designer items on sale many even under $100. I was kinda said when they sold out of the Marc Jacobs Jacket that was on sale for $150!
