Audrey Tautou & Chanel

Hello everyone! The latest Audrey Tautou Chanel 5 commercial just aired here during a red carpet show before the Emmys. Here's the long version, directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet, who worked with Tautou in Amelie.

The commercial was based on a scene from A Very Long Engagement and it was filmed in a railway station in Nice and on the Bosphorus in Istanbul! If that's not romantic enough, it also features Billie Holiday's "I'm a Fool to Want You." Ok, I'm swooning.

Can't wait to see Tautou in the Coco Chanel movie! Have you seen it yet?

Sunday Morning w/ Marc Jacobs

Hello...Happy Sunday....


I always spend Sunday mornings catching up on my reading: Newspapers, magazines, blogs and, this week, runway photos from New York...



I love Marc Jacobs' new designs for his casual Marc line...



So colorful, like chic magpies. I'm trying to pick a favorite...The girl with the purple plaid shirt and the blue flowered skirt? Or maybe the one wearing polka dots? What do you think?....I wonder if I could get away with wearing the big bunny-ear bow. Probably not. But it provides fodder for such a lovely game of mental dress up!

Polaroid Notes

Hello everyone...Thank you for the birthday greetings! For my birthday dinner tonight, we had nachos and Helados Mexico popsicles and watched Saturday Night Live Weekend Update Thursday.  Overall, a lovely time. One of my favorite gifts was this set of  Polaroid Notes, 20 notecards featuring -- well -- Polaroids. The red balloons are especially wonderful, I think...

The set was curated by Jenifer Altman  and printed by Chronicle Books, which produces very cool stuff. ...

Fashion Foods

Do you think certain foods are more fashionable than others?

I was in Urban Outfitters the other day and they had a shelf of cupcake cookbooks, cards, mugs, etc..etc...

So for today, I would like to proclaim that cupcakes are the perfect food...

It's also my birthday, so I would like one with pink sprinkles!! hah! Have a happy Thursday everyone!...


Photos from We Heart It, where there are 45 pages of cupcake pictures.
