A Quote

"Who is the girl wearing this outfit?
What does she do?
Where is she going?
What does her house look like?
What kind of car does she drive?
What kind of dog does she have?
You need to create and entire world."


-Tom Ford

Do's For The Start of Spring

Do....Try this high buttoned up collar

Do...wear pops of bright colours

Do...Pull out the shades

Do....Start showing some leg. 

Do...wear your furs for the last few times.

Do...whip out the white. 

Do....find a handsome young man to
share your spring feelings with.

Prague, Czech Republic

Prague is an unbelievable city. It's busy and bustling and everywhere
you look there are incredible buildings. Yet, it has a certain dark, 
dangerous, melancholy feeling to it. It's hard to describe but it can really 
bring you into the strangest of moods and evoke extraordinary thoughts. 

You can still smoke whatever you want in all the bars and the beer 
flows cheaper than water. 

It's so cheap in fact that you can truly enjoy yourself...food, drink 
and accommodation. I would highly recommend the 
St. Christopher's Hostel at the Mosaic House, as we had a pretty 
flawless stay there. 

All you really need to enjoy Prague is a healthy appetite, a good map, 
beer in hand and a gloriously open mind.

This great little local bar had good, cheap drinks, a sexy soundtrack and a
smoke-filled hazy underground vibe. Lime cropped t-shirt from H&M.

Estonia

A few shots from my cruise across the Baltic Sea to Tallinn, the capital of Estonia. 
Laughs and Estonian beers in the central square.
A lot of beautiful buildings that were damaged by WWII

Stop The Madness

Can someone tell me what is going on in the designer world lately? First the McQueen tragedy, then the Galliano scandal and now this! Christophe Decarnin absent from the Balmain show of Paris Fashion Week, rumors fly. We seem to be losing some of our most important modern design geniuses at an alarming rate...
