A black skirt, a nude, almost transparent top, a belt, and nothing else. It’s a little amuse-bouche signaling the return of the minimalist chic that’s been waiting for us for fall. You ready?

#1 – I like when a jacket and a pair of shorts are the same length. You could say that it makes for some amazing optical illusions. (“Oh! She forgot to wear bottoms!”)
#2 – Is it possible that jean shorts have taken control over the entire planet? This is what I was lamenting to Scott about this morning. (While I was wearing some jean shorts, of course.)
#3 – Feel free to help me find better titles for my posts. I think my brain went on holyday before I could. (It is at the Surf Lodge, having mojitos while I’m working)

Ok, enough talking, let’s get that day started ! Bisous !

This weekend, Scott succeeded in dragging me away from my computer. I had 8,000 tons of work and so he said to me, “Come on, you can work at the hotel!” He didn’t need to say much more. We went to Montauk, a little town in the Hamptons where all of New York spends the weekend taking in some sun, surfing, and… well, diving back into New York ambiance, if truth be told.

And Saturday, at the end of the afternoon, we had some drinks at Surf lodge. I just loved it. That said, it’s not so surprising seeing as —–>

#1 – I have an insatiable love for everything that comes close to being surf related. If I so much as see a surf board, I start swooning. It’s one of the things on my to do list in life, take a week off for a surf class in Hawaii. One day, one day!!!

#2 – I have an undying love for the atmosphere of vacation homes, and it’s exactly the feeling you get when you walk into the restaurant.

When I get a house (one day, one day!!!) I’ll decorate it like a vacation home. It’ll be simple, uncluttered, but definitely not perfect. It’ll be cool luxury, you know, with some objects I’ve collected from my various travels, a big wooden table, and lots of paperbacks and books full of images everywhere.

#3 – I’m crazy about the Lisa Marie Fernandez swimsuits. And there’s a little beach-y store just next to the restaurant… And they had the entire collection. Raaaaaaah.

#4 – I love tossing down cocktails and ESPECIALLY love being a barfly.

What? C’mon!

#5 – I love eating. And one of my favorite things for summer, besides watermelon sorbet and mojitos, is grilled vegetables. Little peppers, just little baby ones, oh I just melt. Especially if the person cooking them is… Ta daaaaa!!!

Sam Talbot, the chef!

Does it look like I am more stuffed or impressed in this picture? More stuffed than anything else? Ahahahaha. You’re right indeed.

Okay, off we go, back to work for me. Bonne journée and don’t forget to put slices of cucumber in your water pitchers, it’s oh so good. Big hugs!

Alright kids, thanks for the advice! I’ve chosen ——-> FLUORESCENT ORANGE!

It’s just great. I don’t know why, but as expected, fluorescent orange toenails make for great feet and I think I’m going to try all the colors of the rainbow this summer.

DON’T WORRY, you won’t have to see my feet all the time. After this, we’ll have to leave it to the imagination, ok?

DON’T WORRY (part two), I don’t wear my fluorescent nail polish with see-through shoes in real life. Plus, these shoes aren’t even mine, they belong to my stylist friend Ada. Even so, they’re great, right?

DON’T WORRY (part three), I’ll eventually figure out a title for this post. In the mean time, ahahahahha seems to fit “the mood” pretty well (oh là là là “the mood”, IT’S OFFICIAL, I CAN’T EVEN SPEAK PROPER FRENCH ANYMORE!!!)(HELP!)(oops, I mean, à l’aide !) le… uhhhhh… Ah yes! L’humeur of my feet.

Well there you have it. I’ll stop talking nonsense. XOXO!

At least, I think so.

Have you ever wondered if gold and silver, or copper and bronze, or vintage and sporty, or, well, here, have you ever wondered if your jewelry actually does go well together? These are just the sort of questions I ask myself. Yeah, I’m the type to ask myself questions about everything, all the time, at the same time, and again…

And actually, it’s not always the best thing!

The picture is what I’ve been wearing for a bit now. At first I thought it was a little weird, that the watch and the ring didn’t go together. And then I started liking it more and more. And now, I just love it.

But with the fluorescent manicure, well, uhhhhh, let’s say we’ll just have to talk about that later.
