on this day in history...

1952:
An American in Paris, starring Gene Kelly and Leslie Caron,
won the Oscar for Best Picture.

want of the day

While deciding what shoes to pair with my usual black fare this morning, I remembered the darling blue suede Belgian slippers that Jacques Levine mailed me last Fall (in case you raised an eyebrow, the slippers have black trim so they did indeed match my outfit). Interested in what the company was up to these days, I quickly popped by their site and discovered their new Raffia and patent slipper… and of course, I’m obsessed. How fun would these be to wear to the office this summer? Better start saving my pretty pennies!

charlotte casiraghi + gucci's flora infinity scarf

I've always loved Gucci's flora print. A vintage handbag in the pattern (like this) has been on my wishlist for years! I actually saw one at a consignment shop years ago and still to this day completley regret not purchasing it. Long story short, I'm thrilled to see that the fashion house is employing their Forever Now spokesperson, Charlotte Casiraghi, to bring the print back (...but really, did it ever go away?). I think the grey scarf she's pictured with is gorgeous. It's been decided that if I ever break my arm, I'm raiding my piggy bank to purchase one to use as a sling à la Charlotte's grandmother, Grace. I mean, shouldn't insurance cover it or something? :) 

P.S. Speaking of, I probably need this.

This is a song to blast in your car on the first warm, sunny (fri)day of Spring.
Happy Monday :)
