Am going completely mad!

My neighbours have been renovating over the last month and I'm about this close to punching a hole in the wall and ripping the hammer out of their hands.

Is 8h30 in the morning a decent hour to start banging... I think not!

Dazed & Confused

Illustration by Noemi Sunshine Ferst

Last night, lovely friend Kelly Smith unveiled her masterpiece submission to a competition held by Dazed & Confused.

She immediately inspired me to attempt my own take on the Dazed challenge.

Dazed & Confused have selected 10 covers from the last decade and have offered them to us illustrators from all around the world to take them do what we please to them.

Unfortunately, my sweet Kelly informed me that the closing date was today and told me to get cracking!

And that's exactly what I did!

Though it was a race against time, I managed to make my modest contribution. I would have loved to have more time to think about it, let a few ideas flutter in my head, eventually develop them, but it wasn't meant to be.

So may I present to you, my last minute homage to the divine Karen Elson and this great magazine!

Hope you like it.

My Funny Valentine

Fab and myself aren't too hot on the whole card company holiday, love should be celebrated whenever you feel like it, not on just one specific day!

So here's my Valentine to you and I hope you'll enjoy it every other day too.

Song of the day.

McQueen

We've lost another great artist today.

He pushed the boundaries of fashion into art.

He was a true visionary.

Setareh Mohtarez

This dress is everything I could possibly dream for and more in my vision of the perfect dress.

A truly breathtaking galaxy print, a beautiful volume and structure.

It has the perfect balance of elegance and sophistication.

Setareh Mohtarez is an absolute must see, it would be a tragedy to miss out on this spectacular and stellar collection of space and structure.

Heart of Glass

"Maybe there's a trapdoor under my chair, and I'll just disappear."
- J.D. Salinger, Franny and Zooey

The Glass family stories shall remain with me and inspire me always.

Farewell to one of the last greats of contemporary literature.

You leave behind a literary legacy that will be loved forever.

The Girls in Paris

As usual, have kept my bad blogger habits while abroad...

I just can't do it!

But you'll have to forgive me, I'm sure you can understand me setting aside my computer for a sun chair by the sea in December...

Any way, Miami was amazing, Le Baron was the place to be and as promised, I spinned my heart out all week and it was worth it!

We hosted the wildest parties in town!

I truly enjoyed the culture clash (Pierre Hardy (Paris) meets Lincon's completely disproportionate mannequins / tacky shoe shops (Miami)...)!

Thought we were worlds apart, we all came together for the love of art and music!

Was great seeing all the New Yorkers!

And though I miss the sea and the sun, there really is no place like home!

Paris, je t'aime!

Song of the day.

Greetings From Miami

A quick post just to say we arrived safely, checked in perfectly, swimming divinely and succulently sipping margaritas at the Delano!
