Lee National Denim Day

Almost everyone I know either wears jeans every day or on "casual Fridays". That means everyone can participate in the Lee National Denim Day to benefit women's cancer programs. This is US-based charitable organization but funds to find a cure benefit women everywhere.

Organize your workplace and raise money on Friday, October 2nd.

Carine Roitfeld. Sigh.

Photo: Hedi Slimane

This morning, I happened to click up on an image of Carine Roitfeld, editor of French Vogue. Love, love, love her. You simply MUST read this February 2008 New York Magazine featuring Ms. Roitfeld - it's an absolute classic. A few quotes:

“I do not like comfortable,” Roitfeld says. She has outlawed sneakers and what she calls “Hugg boots” in her office because “they are hugly.”

Regarding a trip to Thailand:

“You think this will be so glamorous,” she sighs. “You have the idea in your mind and then you get there and the people in the hotel …” She grimaces and gestures hugely in the hip area. “There were lots of people who were so fat and like that.”

About the first lady of France, Carla Bruni:

“For us it is good. She is very glamour. She can fit in the clothes."

So good. If you want more....

Just Charming



I'm all over the charm thing. It's fun jewelery you can mix and match to your mood and outfit. The clip on charm, like this Juicy Knight's Helmet, is perfect for fashion chameleons. If you have a standard, link bracelet, you can change it up any which way.

Juicy offers loads of clip on charms in both gold and silver tone. Or if you want to go up market, you can spend a little or a lot on charms at Tiffany. Have the jeweler add a lobster clip if want the removable option.
