Bigger pics, multi sideviews of the dresses, emailed hyperlinks that actually work (at least with Mac’s Safari browser), the new website is much friendlier to navigate through. It’s a smart (and welcome) move from the label. The old website had been one of a kind at its opening: DVF was one of the first to launch its very own worldwide online store (it was useful to benchmark foreign currencies prices (Would I purchase this today, would I prefer to get this in NYC next month?)). Though it honestly became a pain in the ass and deserved a renew.

The first time I dared to push the front door of the Diane Von Furstenberg Paris store was 5 years ago. Before, I had been used to just stare at the window and the magazines. I was hunting a colorful something for my brother’s wedding.  It was summer sales in July 2006, and I got a nice green, yellow, pink, orange patterned layered camisole top I paired with a Mango skirt and high street pink heeled sandals. I’ve since became a devotee of the label. No matter the collection, She always pops colors and patterns. It’s refreshing during the darkest winters we usually experience in Paris and now in London. Beside her fashion craft, I do like that she looks charismatic. Summer Spring collection 2011 is nice. Nicer than SS10 in my view. My favorites are pictured in the slideshow

Spring is definitely on. Okay, okay, it is London! The mercury doesn’t rise that high. Though, I felt the air warmer yesterday when I went out for a run in Hyde Park than the Sunday before. I still carry a warm sweater and my coat, and I feel really impressed by those who just wear a tee. shirt. Though, it’s been 2 weeks that I peeled off 2 layers, and it feels so good.
I shot those beginning of March along Little Venice channel that runs from Paddington toward North Western London.

An as usual scathing Karl Lagerfeld replies to Interview Vanity of May 2010 issue of French Elle.
Below some pearls. Bitting and funny as only Karl knows how to do it.

Marion Cotillard breaks out the French screen as Lilly, the sexy & fresh girlfriend of Sami Naceri in Taxi, a French film written by Luc Besson, and directed by Gerard Pires, of cops and cars in the streets of Marseille, a harbour city of Southern France. I was completing high school. I was dreaming that like Lilly’s boyfriend (Marion’s character) mine was half-gangster, half-sweatheart.
Time has gone since. She won an Academy Award for her leading role in La Vie en Rose. From the 4th sexy girlfriend role, she has became a powerful name in France. And it seems she’s making one in Hollywood. The shoot above is by photographer Ruven Afanador for Citizen K International.

I’m quite in awe with tulips.

It’s not a flower we get in the Caribbean. I remember I made one with plaster at 6 for mom’s day while my classmates favored roses. The first time I held one for real, I guess I was 18.
There are a lot these days in Paris. The bigger they are, the more I like them.

They do not last long unfortunately.

This guy got stuck from noon until I went to bed. It was 2 weeks ago.
