Paris Would Be Pretty This Time Of Year

Don't you think? (Illustration by Sarah Hankinson.)

P.S. Make sure you check out Time magazine's 10 questions with Vivienne Westwood. She is such a powerful, inventive, rebellious force in fashion. A snippet:
What is the essence of true beauty?
I'm always attracted to people who interest me. They've got to be people who are really true to themselves somehow, and who are always trying to do something that makes their life more interesting, or better, or something for somebody else. They're interested in people.
Have a fabulous weekend! xo, i.d.

  14. Aw, you were right about Juno. I did love it... it's such a one of a kind film!

    I was in Paris at this time of the year, last year. And it was lovely... but it would be great to be there in the summer too!
