The new Tatty Devine collection is available, and I'm screamin' for these:

Why not pair them with Bjork's new 3-D video?

You know who I miss? Pippi Longstocking! She's my style icon of the week. "There's no one like her!"

I enjoyed this:

But this is the one that I LOVE:

Please check out Wes Anderson's new short film "Hotel Chevalier" for free on iTunes. It's absolutely lovely.

Sigh. I miss Paris. I could board a plane RIGHT NOW and spend a few days snuggled up in the hot pink carpeted gloriousness that is the Hotel Amour. I'd take my petit déjeuner at the Rose Bakery and then walk around for hours until I made it to the Palais de Tokyo for some art browsing, book buying, and a tidy salad at Tokyo Eat. I'd then wander aimlessly again, maybe stopping for some macarons (pistachio, anise, and rosewater) at Laduree before finding my way to Deyrolle where I'd hang out with a lion or a cougar...or maybe the zebra if he's not tied up. There would absolutely be a stop at my favorite bookstore on the planet, Shakespeare & Company. I would make sure not to leave before typing a poem on the ancient typewriter hidden up the stairs. Dinner would then be three courses at Astier followed by some selections from the biggest cheese basket in the world (a basket three times the size of your head!!!), and then a long walk home in the twinkle that is Paris after dark. Oh, Paris. J'taime.

Check out our pictures of all of the above right here.

This past Saturday, we joined the ladies and their lads for a screening of the French punk film La Brune et Moi at Williamsburg's Monkeytown (a super cool space with delicious drinks...try the lavender mojito). Shot in one week and a day on a "borrowed" camera, this charmingly flimsy story follows Parisian punkster Anoushka as she flings herself into both the punk rock scene and the men in its periphery. While Hamish found her "frightening", I loved her Robert Smith hair and ridiculously short dresses paired with grandpa cardigans. With 1980's Paris as a backdrop and several performances from obscure French punk bands, this is a lost film (literally...it was found last year by Rockenscope after vanishing following it's premiere in 1980) that demands more screen time. You can contact Brune if you're interested in screening it in your town, and I suggest you do. It makes for great late night, pre-party entertainment.
