Just Browsing

Aside from a generous literary and cocktail recipes contribution, Ernest Hemingway produced two striking grandaughters, Margaux (1954-1996) and Mariel, born in 1961 and both famous for their luxuriant brows. I'd say even bigger than Brooke Shields'.

Six feet tall Margaux - named after the wine - had to live with dyslexia, bulimia, epilipsy and toxicomany. She was the first model to ever cash a million dollars cheque, performed in a few films and was shaking her thing at Studio 54 with pals Grace Jones, Bianca Jagger & co. Sadly she was found dead in her appartment at 42.





Little sis Mariel modelled a bit and gave one of the most heartbreaking and pure performance ever in Manhattan. She later had a cameo in another Allen, Deconstructing Harry, but her acting skills were never used advisely by other directors.




She is now a wellbeing and spirituality guru and wrote a book with the longest title in the world: Mariel Hemingway's Healthy Living from the Inside Out: Every Woman's Guide to Real Beauty, Renewed Energy, and a Radiant Life. Great, it's Christmas soon!

Today, her daughter Dree is now taking over.

Blog is in the air

Everywhere I look around.

And today I had a look at the Vice Style website and watched with delight Love Blogging, a series of - so far - 3 sleek little films featuring fashion bloggers (including Disney Roller Girl, Madeleine Ostile my personal favourite, Richard Nicoll and many others).

The films highlight the omnipresence and omnipotence of blogging today. Starting a blog has become very easy and almost second nature but these films give good tips on how to keep them fresh by highlighting the risk of losing readership if the everyday routine of posting is skipped (hum, something to be learned here?!), how blogs can now replace a portfolio and increase one's creativity in general.

It is an extremely inspiring and entertaining series, reminding us how cool Brits are. So, flex your fingers and blog 'til you drop!

AnOther Smell

AnOther Magazine is introducing their first fragrance- AnOther 13. These non traditional perfume images are self portraits by the talented and amazing photographer Lina Scheynius. She explains in a short interview how she just checked into a five star Hotel with a couple of Chloe outfits, started playing around, shooting on polaroids all by herself. As simple as that I want to smell as beautiful as these images ended up.

L'homme qui aimait les femmes

In the 1977 film by François Truffaut, 41 year old engineer Bertrand Morane (actor Charles Denner) is obsessed with women, and their legs. They are his inspiration, his raison d'être, and his cause of death. Morane recounts the numerous affairs that punctuated his life in an autobiography.

The most famous quote of the film is "Women's legs are like compass points, circling the globe and providing its balance and harmony".

This beautiful and tragic film is also a perfect excuse to admire the epitome of chic in the 70's.

I love legs, legs, legs, I do adore.

Grab your T-bar sandals, knee long skirt, cream blouse and trench and stride along the globe!
