Women Who've Shaped History: Françoise Hardy

Surely as a stylish and well-informed woman/gay, you are both familiar and in love with Françoise Hardy.  

This gorgeous Paris native is famous for her songs, films, and iconic style.  She also knows like 5 languages which is more than some popes.

Hardy began playing music when she was a child and was picked up by the record label Vogue shortly after beginning her studies at the Sorbonne (chiiiiic!) and dropped out of school to be amazing and frolic across Europe.

Then she was in a bunch of movies and just continued to be really famous and beautiful.  Also Bob Dylan wrote a song about her which probably means she's a big deal.

She was also a huge inspiration for artist Nicolas Ghesquière, former Creative Director of Balenciaga and current HBIC of Louis Vuitton (Bye Marc, I'll miss you!) as of like a week ago.

Obsessed: Shearling Satchel

Because I'm a terribly apathetic person I've found it hard to be excited about many things lately.  But then I saw this.

And now it's all I want for Christmas.  It's from a store called Little Liffner, which is just a super adorable Swedish chick but it's sold out.  Luckily for me you can get it at Club Monaco for whatever stupid reason.  Buy it for me here.

Top Priority: Wes in Budapest

If you're a person living in the first world you know and love Wes Anderson.  If you don't, you transitively hate both Gwyneth Paltrow and Anjelica Huston, which is impossible.

Well it came to my attention the other day that one Matt Zoller Seitz, critic and artist, has just published a book entitled The Wes Anderson Collection, which you can buy here if you'd like.

Anyway, clicking randomly led me across the interwebs to this.

Let's talk about this and everything I love about it.

1. Tilda Swinton- Since the beginning of time everything she's done has been amazing.  Fact.
2. Saoirse Ronan- She was in Atonement with Keira Knightley.  Gold.
3. Ralph Fiennes- From Great Britain and therefore amazing.
4. Owen Wilson- Marley and Me makes me cry.
5. Jude Law- Hot and talented.
6. Adrien Brody- Weirdly hot and very talented. (See The Pianist)
7. Bill Murray- Duh.
8. Jeff Goldblum- Duh.
9. Willem Dafoe- Duh.

Yay March 7!
