Jon Kortajarena: one of the many reasons to see Tom Ford's 'A Single Man'

Yves Saint Laurent S/S10

The house of YSL continues its recent habit of using the supers for the campaigns (think Kate, Naomi, Claudia etc). I couldn't be happier that they chose Natalia this time around! Very reminiscent of their Muse II tricolor, y/y?

...and Ungaro???

OK, now I'm grasping at straws but any excuse to post pics of Nicolas Bemberg...

And bb Sigrid Agren scored the Beauté campaign!

I don't think it's the best photo of her but I'm glad that she's doing something. I better see her and Ymre back on the during the hc or f/w10 show season.

I wasn't supposed to but...

Went shopping with Noora today and it was supposed to be helping her to find shoes for her forthcoming trip to Sydney. She ran a little late because her facial wasn't finished. To kill time, I popped into David Jones. Wasn't supposed to buy anything but alas, I couldn't help myself. But I can justify the purchase since I had been looking for something similar ever since I'd seen these Aldo ones popping up everywhere in various blogs:

They aren't exactly alike but they are cool all the same. Wedges are the only short heels that I would wear. Normally it's always 4 inches or more, don't get me started on kitten heels... So here they are: my Witchery "Multi Strappy Wedges"

I can tell I'll get a lot of wear out of them during the summer; only shame is wearing them in Paris would be an open invitation for frostbite.

Hello, and welcome!

So I've finally decided to plunge into the strange and somewhat mysterious world of the blogosphere. At this point, I don't see the blog having any particular theme, more a melange of the things that I (and likely, nobody else) find interesting. Mostly I'll be using it to document my forthcoming 5 month stay in Paris, where I will be studying on exchange.

So here's to hoping this little adventure won't be a complete waste of time and that somebody out there finds it at least mildly interesting.
