On my wishlist....

There are 2 major things on my wishlist right now and the Mulberry Alexa in leopard print (shown above) is one of them. I always seem to have a really hard time picking handbags but I've been lusting after this one for a while. The ever stylish Olivia Palermo looks fantastic with hers as does Miss Alexa Chung- whom the bag was named after. The combination of a long and short strap along and all that room makes it the perfect every day bag!

My second obsession, and I'm almost kicking myself for not getting this in Paris instead of my YSL, is the Celine Luggage Tote. This is one of those bags that the more you look at it the more you need to have it. The incredible rich blue hue makes it a great statement piece and its unlike any other bag out there- making it the perfect purchase!

A winter meal...

The perfect way to spend a frosty winters evening is with cocktails and yummy food at a warm cozy bar. 

We found ourselves at The Lodge, a great little place in Williamsburg that served a mean Cosmopolitan, mac and cheese and a great burger with frites. I loved their quaint christmas tree, and bunches of wildflowers in vases that were scattered across the bar. 

Baby, take me away!

I've always loved the idea of luxury travel. Monogrammed luggage, door men and exotic destinations conjure up ideas of super sophisticated women, convertibles and covetable sunglass and hat options. 

I've put together some of my favorite travel images, which all make me feel like booking a plane ticket to somewhere warm and wearing a headscarf.

Model of the Moment: Elisa Sednaoui

Elisa Sednaoui for Vogue China

I have to admit that I've had a total girl crush on Elisa Sednaoui since she appeared in Karl Lagerfelds mini film for Chanel- Remember Now. A model/actress Elisa is the face of Chanel eyewear, fronts Diane Von Furstenburg's campaigns and has just been snapped up by Armani to be their ambasador. 

I love her cheeky, gummy smile, incredible incredible hair and overall gorgeousness. Of course she is French, loves wearing black and hanging out at Cafe de Flore on the left bank. 

She looks incredible in this shoot (as always) and was shot by her cousin Stephane Sednaoui.
