“Had J.Crew never made a pair of high waist, cropped and flared white jeans, I never would have bought them, loved them and declared them a fixture of my summer wardrobe.

In LA, it’s just another Friday. In NY, Nor’easter memories are still fresh and winter coats still reign—therefore, it’s just another Friday.

Paris Haute Couture Spring 2015
“When industry professionals and celebrity guests flocked to Paris last week, a relative quiet awaited them. Models chatted with each other about half-empty planes and still hotels. There was an atypical lack of celebrities, with the exceptions of Natalie Portman, Kate Hudson, Dita von Teese, and a few others. Even Instagram—a huge purveyor of fashion […]
