Attention to all you fashionable ladies in Paris!! Derek Blasberg will be signing his book “Classy – exceptional advice or the extremely modern lady” tomorrow between 6 and 7 pm at Colette.

Of course, Colette has developed some fun stuff to celebrate the occasion:

“A lady is always hydrated” thermo bottle – the ideal accessory for a long day in the office.

The classy kit = mint + lighter + pen

I’m particularly fond of the “a lady is always prepared” lighter!! Might come handy in Paris (even as a non-smoker), as asking for a lighter is THE secret code for getting to know each other…and you would want to make the right impression from the start…right? ;)

It contains over 30 profiles, accompanied by Todd’s famous watercolor portraits and small interviews, of which most have not been published before on the Selby site. The book is launching on April 1st, but there will be an exclusive pre-sale chez Colette this week, with lots of cool events ranging from Karaoke, to interior consultation and the possibility to get a portrait of your pet.

So, guess where I will be heading today to get my version of the book…?

I just love Todd’s eye for small, random details and his artsy/crazy motives.

Just have to finish off with the Manifesto video, its too good (and Natalia too hot)!!

It’s one week until Valentine’s and here are some of the best picks for our all time favourite holiday:

1.+2.: If you wanna go truely luxe for Valentine’s don’t miss out on Miu Miu’s capsule collection for this special occasion. I love the little embalished patent-leather pochette and the plain tee with puffy heart-shaped sleeves.

3. (Diptyque) Red special edition candle. Its vanilla/ rooibos fragrance is just delicious, plus it helps a good cause!

4. Marc by Marc Jacobs Electro Pop cosmetic case. Seen at MyTheresa.

5. If you wanna go sweet on Valentine’s , there is no way around some Laduree macaroons. Get them in this most girly gift box by Yazbukey.

6. Carlota’s heart-shaped biscuits. Seen at Colette Paris.

Finally, if you’re looking for a more personal and creative gesture for Valentine’s day, get inspired by this super cute Garance Dore story!!

Voilà, some of my favourite summer looks! As with Carola, my colour palette is rather neutral with lots of black, white and grey…spiced up with some pops of gold. This summer I practically live in my jeans shorts, which I dress up with a blazer and heels or down with my favourite Miu Miu gladiators and a simple tee. Did I mention that I spent most of the time searching for the perfectly fitting white t-shirt? Sometimes, the simple things are the hardest to find…!

SUMMER FAVOURITES (from left):

1. “Karl Who” T-shirt via Colette Paris
2. Urban outfitters PCV leggings and necklace worn as bracelet
3. Black dress from ACNE via Hayashi Frankfurt
4. Comptoir des Cotonniers sandals
5. Shorts from Zara & plain tee from COS
6. My favourite girlie bracelets, which I collected over the years
7. YSL coral ring (my absolute summer crave)
8. Black leather clutch with studs from Miu Miu
