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.

Gift of the day: I love – I mean really love – these dolls created by the wonderful Alexander Girard. Each one of them is a work of art and I want them all (especially the ones with feathers). I found them at Vitra.
I think I have a girl crush on Charlotte Dellal. I’ve never met her or anything, just saw her on the street and now I appreciate even more her very particular mix of humor and mystery. Really, to wear a hat with such confidence, it’s just so classy.
That said, thinking about it, I’d wear the cat-shoes she created without missing a beat (Charlotte is the designer for the brand Charlotte Olympia, you remember these?), which I couldn’t stop going on and on about a few days ago on Twitter:

Click on the arrows ! Super kinky sleeping mask, by Kiki de Montparnasse.
I was looking through my archives yesterday and I couldn’t believe that I’ve never published any of these pictures. I love them!
It’s my friend Lara Melchior‘s studio who’s one of the only jewelry makers I know who still does all of her work by hand.
Here you can see her setup and all the objects she surrounds herself with to get inspired. Yes, her bed is part of it – her studio is simply a space set aside in her room in her super awesome Parisian apartment.

The time has come when I’ve started to suffer from an acute case of winter laziness – that is to say that we’re saying goodbye! to the new super motivated New York Garance who juggles a pilates class with her daily run and yoga and hello! to the Garance flat on her back in front of a rather questionable* TV show comparing the textures of three different kinds of peanut butter**, hello! to the Garance who:
• Hasn’t jogged in 2 months.
• Forced herself out of bed with a super human amount of effort to go to, get this, Virgin Yoga, this morning. The yog’ for beginners. Just out of fear that I would overstretch a finger. Aaaah, at least I’m bound to be the best in the class***!
• Hasn’t called her pilates teacher for two weeks. And this is after promising, high five included, to see her twice a week to sculpt the most amazing abs you’ve ever seen. And now I have to hide every time I walk by her gym, which is around three times a day****.
So yeah, when I start looking dangerously like a depressed slug, the only thing that can really motivate me, can you guess what it is?
