rebecca ward’s installation in kate spade’s tokyo store is fun, fresh, and all sorts of other lovely adjectives that also happen to describe the brand itself . . .
the soho location threw a soiree in honor of ward’s work, complete with a “tape bar” where guests could get craft-ay with notebooks and technicolor electric tape . . . cuties!
hello my dears, hope you all had a happy weekend. i just found out that i’m hitting stockholm in a few weeks! here’s what my swed-est dreams are made of:
{hotel j on the scandinavian sea, where nantucket meets nordic cool}
cropped yyigal jacket, alexander wang pants and givenchy booties that were even more beautiful in person when i spotted them at shine
KC&CO,
Bessie
ps. in my excitement, i started researching the city and stumbled upon a “list of useful swedish phrases.” among them: “Min svävare är full med ålar,” which roughly translates into, “My hovercraft is full of eels.” i’m quite unsure of what this is supposed to express (bliss? boredom? imminent danger?) but i plan on inserting it randomly into conversations until i find out. more updates to come.
in honor of tim burton’s much-anticipated interpretation of alice in wonderland, french department store printemps invited a few creative geniuses of a different sort (namely, designers) to create alice-inspired window displays. i all but ran to see the final products on a recent saturday afternoon and, unsurprisingly, i was joined by approximately one billion tourists. after narrowly escaping death-by-trampling, i managed to snap a few photos of my favorite displays:
{the late alexander mcqueen}
{manish arora}
{chloé}
{nicholas kirkwood}
on a related note, enjoy this wonderful (har, har) little video by pogo:
