Oh Emmmm Gee!!!!
Have you heard of the new online shopping site Moda Operandi? It was launched by Lauren Santo Domingo, and its format is similar to Gilt Groupe, but it features the newest runway fashions. Like Gilt, you must sign up to join, so if you need someone to refer you, just send me a message!
Anyway, this week they are featuring vintage items, and even though everything is way out of my price range, the Vintage Hermes collection was trop belle to not share with you!

Je souhaite que j'étais à Cannes
Today is the last day of the Cannes film festival, and I wish I were there!
No photos have captivated my attention more than the ones by Garance Doré, for Chopard. (Check out the link on the left-hand side of the screen that says "Cannes by Garance Doré".)

des roses françaises
We have this gorgeous pink rose vine that lines our backyard, called the Peggy Martin or Hurricane Katrina rose. The story is that an avid rose gardener had this hearty rose for years. During Katrina, her home and garden flooded, and she lost everything. When she came back to New Orleans, after her home had been under 20' of water for two weeks, the rose had survived.
This rose has become a symbol of New Orleans, and we are so proud to have it in our garden.
