RECONFIGURE

The colour of April, a deep, muted fuchsia. Pure on the surface and dirty by the second coating. She's a gentlewoman but she's no demure lady. Doused in Eau Duelle with base notes of Bourbon...

A FRIEND OF MINE

We found ourselves in a stretch of separation spanning countries and years. She flew in from Tel Aviv, tinier than I remember, one of my nearest and dearest. We used to live in each other's...

JUST PEACHY

Just bought the La Collectioneuse poster by Hans Hillmann. Couldn't find the original but I'd rather have a print than not have it at all. It's all pretty retro in washed out hues but then that's...

NO ONE LIKE KATE

What exactly is it about Kate Moss? Kate is a good name and I think perhaps that's where it starts. Keith Richards once said of Moss, "For a bad girl, she's always been very well behaved." There's...

THE SENSE OF IT

Fashion is difficult to explain, and often a single picture does it better than a whole fashion show. I think there is no style without fashion, and no proper fashion without style. Unfortunately,...

DISENGAGE

And with bated breath. To release from something that holds fast, connects or entangles. To detach, free, loosen, separate, disassociate, extricate or abstract. It's soon Spring and it calls for...

EDGE OF SEVENTEEN

Vintage lace, worn amongst the shadow of the palms with a cigarette in hand, like the white winged dove. In tan suede Saharinennes, Le smoking, mousselines and pussy bows guarded by a wide-brimmed...

Carven's Pre-Fall 2013. If this is what French insouciance smells like then I'll take a few bottles. Isabelle Adjani's character Stella in the 1976 Roman Polanski thriller The Tenant was Guillaume...

LIGHT

The Metro read earlier this week that in just 42 days it would be light again by 7 in the morning. So that's the end of February, and what can I say, I'm hanging for it. I think spring is the best...

BRINGING IT IN

Dark skies and champagne. High heels and suits but not the same old shaggy dress. Red lips and new faces. Food and conversation. Fireworks, the countdown, rain and staircases. Music and floor...

NEWLY MINTED

"A girl came in the café and sat by herself at a table near the window. She was very pretty, with a face fresh as a newly minted coin if they minted coins in smooth flesh with rain-freshened skin,...

GROUNDED

The overgrowth of time. Our skins have changed. Stormy waters. To be near you. At the gate. Waiting. And it comes up from the ground. Don't miss your chance. Those left outside become compelled....

LET'S GET OUT OF HERE

That face. Beauty too wild and fair. A preface of what's coming. All bustling and unexpected but not exclusive to the discerning eye. It's as clear as day. There's nothing you can see that isn't...

Just like that. They come and go. Were they even here I'm not sure. There's a shadow of their presence. The space empty. You get used to the company. Such a long time but in the same token, gone in...

APARTMENT

In December we're moving into a new apartment. It may be in the same building and just two levels up but it's a chance to decorate a larger space. And it's also one step closer to being able to...

A foreigner in a foreign land. It's not always easy to live in another country. Even if it seems like the culture is in parallel to your own. It isn't the same and I think that it's bound to have...
