A Private Tour of Betsey Johnson’s Showroom
As you can probably imagine, Betsey’s workplace is a huge cluster of neon, art, fun, and fashion! All things that embody Betsey! At 69 years old, she’s still going stronger than ever! 3 other bloggers and I got a private tour, preview of the collection, and 15 minute sit-down with Betsey herself last week! Amazing!

Marc Jacobs Moving To Dior
Say it ain’t so! An insider at Dior has confidently reported that Marc Jacobs has moved from his role as Louis Vuitton’s creative director and joined the team over at Dior. “Marc Jacobs is indeed the new creative head,” said the Paris-based insider, adding that Jacobs is a “better fit” than John Galliano, who was sacked earlier in the year due to racist and anti-Semitic remarks. Apparently the deal is just “awaiting signatures”. More info coming asap!

I’m seriously scared now.
What is elegance?
“Clothes are such a small part of what makes a person beautiful, don’t you agree?Here’s my incomplete and disorganized list of details that, to me, contributes to creating impalpable elegance.
”- How you carry yourself. A sporty allure, head held high like a princess, a cat-like stroll, the swagger of a tomboy. A certain way of sitting, a poised neck, the way the hands move…
”- A sincere smile. Not a perfect smile, no. A radiant smile…
”- Ah! Having a great sense of humor, being able to laugh at yourself a little. It’s the thing that right away is so disarming to me, especially with men, or women, or kids, or my checkout clerk, or Woody Allen, or Scott, or Anna Dello Russo…
”- Attention to others. Have you ever met those people who, when he or she looks into your eyes, you feel like the most interesting person in the world? Who, with all sincerity, are curious about you?…
”- Politeness. It’s stupid, I know, and we never can learn it all, but knowing a few rules of politeness and being able to apply them naturally, without being obvious, goodness, it’s so chic. The British are so good at that…
”- Ah, and I gotta include this because I admire it so much… Well-manicured people. I don’t know how they find the time, but these girls with painted nails, perfectly hydrated skin, glossy hair…
”- Culture. Oh man, a sense of culture that isn’t flaunted, or in your face, but one that just shows that you are an open window to the world is soooo attractive!
I’ve still got a ways to go, you know… But, what is elegance, for you?

I am absolutely loving longer flowing skirts this season, which is a real shift from last summer when it was definitely all about leg in my closet. I feel like a sprite-like gamin, like Audry Hepburn in Roman Holiday. And let’s be real - it’s so much easier and more graceful when biking.
