Aaaaaah. If I was a fashion editor, I wouldn’t like to be seated next to me at a show. Filming, during a show, trying to stay chic and not disturb the people around, it’s quite tricky. Even more so when I am seating next to Scott who is shooting with his camera, it’s an evil combination… Pffffff, oh well… It’s a blogger’s life !

Anyway. I am very happy to show you this film from the Marc Jacobs show. And I am very happy this is sunday. This show was so dreamy, it is perfect for a sunday morning. My favorite show in New York.

Translation by me… On a sunday morning. Sorry !

But now, could we please move on to spring ?

The view from the 11th floor hallway of the Maritime Hotel. I’ve walked down it so many times I feel right at home. I’ve heard the hotel’s haunted. That’s gotta be why I sleep so well here!

Ok, enough talking about NYC. Landed this morning in London, so exhausted happy ! London Fashion Week here I come ! Big kisses & TTYL* !!!

——-

Just found out what after months what TTYL means I HAD to use it in a sentence.

I love the weather in New York. It’s always so extreme. Extreme sun, extreme snow, extreme wind, extreme rain. EXTREME COLD.

So to be an ATF, (All-terrain-fashionista)(oooooh no, stupid ass terms, time for me to get some rest.) you need a good parka.

I have a blue one. I have a khaki one… But I never thought of a white one. Cooool.

Plus, icing on the cake of this one here is that for all the girls that are terrible at layering, there is an unexpected frill of silk integrated right into the back.

Super cute, like, the ultra girly version of a military parka. The brand is Sacai. Ever heard of it ?

EDIT As I can see that you looove it : the bag is a Proenza Schouler PS1. Sublime, indeed ! Kisses !

And so how’s NY fashion week going? Yeah, I think you’ve gotten already that IT’S SUPER COLD OUT. That said, it’s pretty cool to see how people stay fashionable when the temp is in the negatives. Right above, you can see what everyone is doing right now, and that’s just to pile on the layers.

But here’s the thing, it’s that it’s done with high art. The play-on colors with a touch of mustard, how it’s close to the body with the wool leggings and the bag that gives it that perfect touch of luxury… Ohhhhhhhhhh I love it.

Same thing here, I love the colors but more than that I wanted to show you this micro-trend that’s oh so easy to do yourself: the short over long.

Pretty much the idea is to put a little jacket over a big coat, a biker jacket over a long cardigan, a little sweater over a military jacket… All you gotta do is make sure the bottom layer is a little longer. Effect: grunge-cool-chic-confident.

Everyone is doing that. At first it surprised me, but then I loved how now you get to SHOP YOUR CLOSET WAHOOOOOOO!!!. New look for a new life, you know? What I really mean to say, FOR A NEW WOMAN! You get where I’m going.

How do I always end up talking about nothing?

Okay okay, just because I gotta get going… I have to run to Derek Lam, I haven’t decided yet which shoes I am going to wear, and that is I guess because today, in NYC, IT IS SNOWIIIIIIING !

Okay, I’ll see you soon! Big hugs!
