I got these shoes a couple years ago because I was obsessed with the color. Looking around, it's pretty evident. I love filling bookshelves with old books. I shop at vintage stores and buy stacks in similar colors.
Clearly, I have a fascination with CHANEL. I began collecting old perfume bottles a few years back because I thought they were so pretty. The crown is (embarrassingly) from when I was on the homecoming court in high school.
I think CHANEL really exemplifies French chic: it's the most iconic brand that is always being updated to keep up with the modern woman while remaining true to the vision of Coco Chanel. I could have those CCs all over my house!
One of the many, many amazing things about Karl Lagerfeld is his ability to simultaneously work within CHANEL's house codes while reinventing them at the same time.
I would wear this CHANEL jacket in the summer with a pair of white shorts and a tank. I would just fling this jacket over my shoulders and it would look great. My motto is, If it has a double C on it, then chances are I love it.
These are the sexiest espadrilles ever! I love everything Charlotte Olympia does, from her piece-of-art shoes to her candy-like clutches, her extremely feminine and playful hats and/or gloves to her spiderweb gold earrings that she just sent me as a present.
How clever and chic is Charlotte Olympia? I wore the clutch to a 40th birthday in L.A. last year. Cameron Silver put a spoon from the table inside the clutch to see if I would notice walking out with the silverware! I love Charlotte’s creativity and joie de vivre. She takes 'must haves' to a new level!
The bracelet is my most treasured heirloom. It belonged to my grandmother and when she passed away she gave it to my mom. As a little girl I played dress up with it and wished it was mine. When I turned thirty my mother gave it to me.
I was born in London, so I love a British flag. I pull out this purse again and again and it spices up any neutral outfit. The pillow was a gift for my Jack Russell, Wilbur, but he prefers the couch. I got the shoes at a Bergdorf sale eight years ago, but they are very reminiscent of this season's Proenza shoes, so they might just get a re-do this spring. The cuff is vintage and belongs to my friend, Rachel Zoe. I borrowed it and don’t want to give it back yet, so don’t tell her!
I have always been obsessed with gold chains. The vintage purse I purchased from my girlfriend. Can you believe she was going to get rid of this beautiful gem?
This shopper was a must-have. I love the rich earth tones and the mix of leather and canvas. It’s exactly what I’m in the mood to carry for spring; and, it’s large enough to justify it as a practical addition to my day-to-day wardrobe.
Phillip Lim made me a beautiful custom tuxedo for the Costume Institute Gala. I love tuxedos and he really re-defined the tux with his design. The bag is an original Stephen Sprouse for Louis Vuitton graffiti keep all.

The Cinderella glass slipper dipped in tar is another fabulous piece by Mattia Biagi. I love it so much that it's showcased in my living room on my coffee table.
