"Long hours on a plane are like a secret alcove where, all alone, disconnected, you can let realty drift away for a while. Say goodbye, collect your souvenirs, rewind your emotions, and then curl them up into a tight little ball so that they’ll always be available to you, living right there close to your heart." - garance dore

audrey in chanel

Audrey Tatou is by far one of my favorite actresses of all time.
She is the perfect combination of sweet, funny, sexy, tomboyish, and of course she is French.
Here she is staring in a soon to be iconic Chanel No.5 short.
enjoy

desire to inspire

I came across this blog this morning as I was searching for inspiration for a new project. the images made me want to crawl back into bed and read a beautiful book all afternoon. the windows wide open, a cool breeze on my neck, snuggled under my white down comforter. does it get any better?

jane birken and girls

I was recently having a discussion with some girls about the differences in women that men find attractive versus women that intrigue other women.
Jane Birken and her gorgeous daughters Lou Doillon & Charlotte Gainsbourg are, for me, the epitome of beautiful, interesting and sexy women.
my sweetheart does not share my intrigue...
whatcha think?
