How to dress for A Long Paris Spring Week End

Spring Wardrobe


A few items I think are good for frequent
week ends and trips.
No brain things that all work together well
in any occasion and in any mild weather.
Just add your favorite white bikini....
Try to play around with them and you will see 
what I mean...suite them for your body type.

Marc Jacobs Diet: Fight your Colitis with the Diet



CK: I think they do. Not everyone, because you’re not appealing to everyone, but you’re appealing to people who get it. Other than the fragrances and the clothes and the accessories, what about you? You’ve got the naked picture; that’s a really big deal. I read somewhere that you were working out two and a half hours a day, six days a week. And on this diet that was very strict.

MJ: I had 21 percent body fat four years ago. I was in and out of the hospital because I had flare-ups of ulcerative colitis. I’d be in the office for 16 hours a day, six of which were in the bathroom because I was so ill. I ate nothing but junk food. Basically, the doctor said, “We’re going to have to remove your colon.” And I said, “I’m not doing that!”
So I went to a nutritionist named Lindsey Duncan, and he said, “If you are 100 percent compliant with what I tell you to do, you will be in better shape than you’ve ever been in, and you will not have to have your colon removed.” I said, “Okay, sign me up.” He said no caffeine, no sugar, no white flour, no dairy from a cow, take açaí every morning, goji, noni, mangosteen, et cetera, omega-3, wheatgrass shots with ginger. The list is endless.
He said, “You gotta laugh every day, you gotta rest every day, and you have to perspire every day, which means you have to go to the gym.” I hadn’t stepped foot in a gym. Well, I hadn’t walked a block in 20 years. So I started, and like everything — I say this, and I hope it’s not misinterpreted, but I like what makes me feel better. That probably doesn’t come as a shock.
When I started to feel better, and when my stomach wasn’t hurting, and when I wasn’t on the toilet all day, and when I could look at myself in the mirror, and when I went from 21 percent body fat to 5 percent body fat and I had muscle, I was like, This is great!
When guys started looking at me and asking me out on dates, I felt way better about myself. So it was hard to keep my clothes on, actually. And whenever I was asked to take my clothes off, I was like, “Sure! I haven’t worked out for three years to keep this all under wraps.” Everything changed. I cut my hair, I got contact lenses, I started to groom and get manicures and pedicures. I started to get my hair cut every two weeks.

Cote D'Azur suitcase






Vogue France 2012
Originally Titled
"Week end in Rome"
I love the styling but not so much for a Roman Holiday
Maybe more appropriate for a Cotè D'Azur Escale...

here are the ideas I like to use:
*
A white crochet dress
a big gold watch
something Pucci
A straw bag and hat
a pair of shorts
black and white blouse
metal frame sunglasses.
