Art Basel is next week! So, naturally, I’m going to Miami for the weekend. Actually, it’s more like unnaturally since I’ve chained myself to my desk in order to get work done. I mov...
The morning I left Dakar to spend a few days the Sine-Saloum delta, I was made fun of. I brought my entire suitcase to the Delta, though it was only a two day trip. “I can’t believe you b...
In upper school, a friend spent her break skiing the Swiss alps. She brought back wonderful stories and a small Swiss army knife unto which my name was engraved. I treasured both. It was around then ...
I apologize for being abrupt last post, but I have a hard time writing this without a full plate of treats next to me. Now that I’m prepared, I can continue… Tofu Burger: L’Institut...
I love Lady Gaga as much as the next girl – maybe more. And, in theory, this kind of thing is amazing. But in reality? This brand of nonsense (below) is the kind of bullshit that makes me want ...
Before we go any further, I think it’s only appropriate to tell you that, in my opinion, one of life’s greatest pleasures is food. My favorite of the five senses? Taste. What do I spend m...
The airport in Dakar, I’m convinced, only operates between the hours of midnight and 5h. With a layover in Casablanca, my flight was due to land at 4h15. Thus, I decided, I would sleep the entire way...
Given our first chance to leave Singapore, we did. We chose to bypass the beaches of southeast Asia and go straight to Kuala Lumpur, for its ease, for its food, for its culture. We wanted to be throw...
Almost everyone asks about the parties in Singapore. Have you ever had a night where you go to a place where the decor is beautiful, maybe there’s a view, and if there is, it’s stunning&#...
As you may recall, the last Prada ad campaign inspired me to explore Asia. Time will tell what this one will have me do…actually, I’ve already booked a train to Paris.
“Are you here to shop?” I’m asked over…and over…and over again by every other person I meet in Singapore. Because, the only two things to do in Singapore, apparently, ar...
That is all. xo J. Justine
Have a Happy 45th Birthday, Singapore! xo, SW
“The beach party was lovely. I took off my shoes, rolled up my pants, and walked out to the water. Just enjoying the water and the time. And someone came over next to me, and started pissing.&#...
It is currently: 31 degrees Celsius; 90 degrees Fahrenheit 70% humidity My hair didn’t stand a chance. xo J. Justine
Wait…is this…Miami? [End scene] Just kidding. But not entirely. Within hours of touching down at Singapore Changi International Airport, not too long after I saw the warning on my embarkm...
Jeffrey Eugenides just spoke to my soul. Just read, discussed the Virgin Suicides. Then, spent the insomniac hours watching Sofia Coppola’s version on film. The film is always a bit disappointi...
Just one month left in summer and a few days left before all of Europe goes on vacation. It’s time for end of summer holidays. I’m going to Asia…in ::gasp:: nine days. I need to get...
Her: What does ‘Cap’ mean? Me: It means cape…I think. Her: I like anything that begins with ‘Cap’ Me: Same. Cap Ferrat…Cap d’Antibes. Her: And now Cap Rocat....
I’ve started sending postcards again. Because once upon a time, receiving mail used to be so interesting. Now, it’s all absolute junk – nothing but advertising and nonsense. It̵...
I’m exciting for a few destinations I’ll be seeing in the near future. Guess where I’m going! August: September: October: Hint: Or you could just scroll over and wait for the answer...
Ohhh, airport security, you never cease to put a smile on everyone’s face. [Sarcasm] Yesterday, I was standing on line to go through security along with nice French family. The eldest son had g...
1. 115 million people across 31 different countries in Africa speak French as their first or second language. 2. My French has improved, but it needs to improve more. It needs to be perfect. Had a co...
I’d rather die than go to the U.S. Embassy ever again. At least the U.S. Embassy in Harare. I’ve been to quite a few embassies and some of them are beautiful. The Zimbabwe Mission to the ...
I overthink. It comes naturally. Something happens, or fails to happen, and I think up every possible, no matter how unlikely, scenario in my mind – review the reasons over and over for probabi...
I canceled it. Couldn’t afford it. Bought a ticket to Singapore instead. Singapore in August? It’s going to be hot. Literally. I might pass out from heat stroke. Alas, what’s done i...
Happy Bastille Day xo J. Justine
Apologies for my absence. I’ll just throw you straight back into the fire. So, last night, in a moment of madness, I bought an around-the-world ticket. Put that bad boy right on my AmEx. You kn...
…shall we? xo J. Justine Credit: Cee-Lo, No One’s Gonna Love You.
Prepare yourself for a litany of complaints. I don’t normally complain…or maybe I do, but I definitely don’t like to. But here we go: I arrived at the Geneva airport on time for my ...
