I don’t know why but I’m super into pink right now.

I changed my Google Chrome theme yesterday. I went from cheesy Dolce & Gabbana animal print to cheesy floral by Kath Kidston*. I’m in the middle of redesigning my blog and I’m totally going to replace all the red accents with pink ones**. I am definitely going by Stella to procure these little ones here and over to J. Crew to pick through all the pink stuff I saw for spring***. And don’t even get me started on lipstick…

Oooookay. Come to think of it, pink must be in fashion, actually.

Ok but so with lipstick, I think it’s so pretty on blondes, but pink lipstick on a brunette like me, I’m not so sure…

What do you think?

* It would be so cool to make a theme for Chrome!

** If you have any ideas, desires or suggestions send them right over!!! If you know of any super beautifuly designed websites, send some links!

*** I have some photos. I’ll show them to you soon!

My favorite soap, as much for its color as its smell.  A super minimalist gift!  Pears Soap.

Hey Garance ! Even though I like my eyebrows well enough, I’d like to “civilize” their line a little bit. What do you do to keep them in line? Do you do it yourself or do you go to someone?

Merci! Chloé.

Hello Chloé!

I pluck them myself and have ever since… I dunno, around 13? At the time, I wouldn’t have asked the question as to whether or not to do it myself or go see someone : I was hiding in my mother’s bathroom to do it because I thought plucking your eyebrows is something you should be suuuuuper ashamed about.

Today, we continue on with our Working Girls series! Here’s an awesome interview with Mathilde Thomas, who tells us just how she created Caudalie, one of my favorite lines of beauty products. I just love her determination and work-ethic and how she pretty much invented a lifestyle to fit her passion.

Hello Mathilde ! We met in New York because I’m such a big fan of Caudalie… And we both live in New York! How are you finding life here? Do you like it? Has it changed how you work?

I am always very impressed by the very sophisticated girls. I love them. Like, I love Dita Von Teese. Maybe because I am totally the opposite*.

I don’t even know what you call this style of painting your nails (do you know ?) but it makes me think of Mad Men: the perfection of women at that time and the hours spent to achieve that perfection.

I would have hated to live at that time, but I love to dream about it.

* after a time of manicure obsession, I am back to a simple transparent polish. On good days. Most days, my nails go bare.

Flashback. It was about 345 years ago that I told you, after following the advice of my dermatologist, I was going to stop using water on my face.

And this is coming from me who loves nothing more than to lather on my cleansers morning and night, clearing away any trace of mean mean sebum (Mean!!! Mean sebum!) which has been my sworn enemy since I turned 13 and a half years old. I was hopeless.

I know I know I know – Sarah Harris from British Vogue must be so very very tired of us talking about her hair.

At the same time, I can only stand in awe of the beauty of her silver locks… which are so exceptional. Not too many people get the chance to have such beautiful grey hair, and there isn’t a colorist alive who can reproduce it. It’s funny, right?

That’s what the funny thing is though : grey hair, in theory, is sublime.

I was with a friend walking around Bed, Bath and Beyond – I know, so glamourous – when suddenly I heard her cry out,

“Aaaaaah !!! Emergency!!! Tell me that’s not me right there in front of me.”
