Gift of the Day: iPad case … by Céline

This past Saturday, I was gazing out the window at the worst weather ever. I made a cup of tea. I downloaded my issue of Elle and was stopped in my tracks by these shoes.

So beautiful.

Not at all my style.

But who cares? They’re just that beautiful.

I started frantically combing the web, found them, and after thinking it over for about thirty hundredths of a second, I ordered them. You should know that I never buy anything off the web. If this wasn’t love at first sight, I don’t know what is.

Voilà voilà. Now I just have to figure out what to wear them with, how to pronounce Laurence Dacade with an American accent and how to respond to Scott when he asked me, when he finally saw them, “So why are you wearing Anna Dello Russo‘s shoes?”

While waiting for Prada, what do you do ? You socialize ! Caught in conversation, here are :

1/ Two of my favorite stylists on earth.
2/ Very Important People and a dress I love. Even if it’s not Prada :-)
3/ Two super trendy editors and a lot of feathers.

(Click on the arrows if you don’t really get what I mean.)

So, what do you think they were talking about??

Here are three of my favorite shots I took for an editorial in this February’s Vogue Nippon.

I’m in Milan and it’s super nice outside. The shows started yesterday, showing some promise with the rather luxurious Gucci — I’ll tell you more about it soon. In the street, all you get is crowds and outside the shows, whether they are there to simply watch the craziness that ensues or to actually work, all the ladies start to get out their finest outfits.

I had my first coffee outside at a café this afternoon. The sun didn’t set until after 6:00 which gave me a brief scent of the spring to come. I found Anna, Viviana, Giorgia, oh my god, I love Italy so much… Well, except for the taxi driver that I was just yelling insults at in Italian earlier today (but he started it!) and actually seeing as it’s quite delicious to yell insults in Italian, even that put me in a pretty good mood.

Anyway… I want an embroidered back. Lots of colors. Yep, just like this one in the photo.

I think it’s awesome, especially a beautiful vintage piece like this one. Any idea where I can find a jacket like this?

Ooookay, off I go! Big hugs!

III Crystal & Me

“What do you think? How cool is this mask?” Crystal Renn asked me showing off her silver mask that made her look like cat-woman from space.”
I love it. I want the same one.
“And the whip? What do you think? Do I need the whip?” she asks me showing me a silky whip snapping it against her thigh.
I love the look. It’s so Newton. Wow. Yeah, get the whip.
