Whose Instagram Do You Follow?

In addition to the usual fashion fare (Barney's, Kirna Zabete, Colette, etc) and models / fashion folk (Coco Rocha, Steven Kolb, Kate Spade New York, etc) 

I also check in with Pantone for the freshest take in color, Peter Som for runway, recipes and relaxation 











And, of course, Rihanna. Because that B puts her whole life on Instagram blast. Seriously, does she not have a handler for that???







If you aren't already, you should follow ME!

Really Colette? Chanel Classics to be Tagged on Site

My favorite French absurdist arbiter of cool, Colette, is teaming up with the ne plus ultra of French chic, Chanel for Paris fashion week pop up merger

Both labels housed on the legendary rue Saint-Honoré will colab until March 10th on a boutique down the street where various artists are planned to appear and "personalize' Chanel Classic bags for sale (including a specially made Mademoiselle bag in 
"Colette blue")

This is one of those casually cool events reserved for the likes of Theodora Richards with so much money that blowing a couple of thou on an It bag only to have someone take a Sharpie to it before forgetting it on Le Metro before hitting The Rex Club is one giant 
No Big Whoop. 

Oh I'd Storm the Bastille in These!

In honor of Bastille Day, two of my favorite fantastically Parisian things, Colette and Gareth Pugh (ok, he's an English expat, but Paris based now, babes)


Mon Dieu! Just look at this little lovely

the ideal boot for raiding, liberating and bringing down the Bourgeoisie

Really Colette? They're Just Chucks, Right?

Slapping a designer print onto that canvas doesn't change that it will rip in a few months of wear. And I'm ok with that when I pay $40 for them, not 150 Euros.

Really Colette? Grime Over!
