Walk confidently, stumble dramatically and smile through the cringe. It’s Brittany's law: If it’s embarrassing, it’ll happen in public. “I was doing a gravity check,” I told the gawkers, as I picked up my stuff. When you mash it all together, there really hasn’t been, what I’d deem, a winter in Paris - I like my winters bitter. Yes, I used my &Other Stories checked buckle-belt trench coat a few times and here, I’m relying on my own impressions, not hard data - but I walk a lot - to and from the metro and I would’ve noticed New Haven like snow or polar bears. I think. My daily wardrobe, these days, is high-rise straight jeans, a Tommy Hilfiger oversized fit adjustable cuffs poplin shirt, and Irina Ballerina ‘glove’ ballet flats and perhaps, a morning cashmere sweater (that won’t wrinkle in my book bag later). Fashion houses are going to try and sell you intentionally wrinkled, ‘messy girl,’ hot mess fashion this year - just say no. My lord and savior - Steve Jobs - preached elegant hi-tech and wardrobe simplification, and both work for me. I don’t have time for a lot of decisions in the morning, if you looked in my closet, you’d see: 8 pairs of jeans and 8 shirts (4 white, 2 baby-blue and 2 crimson) a Treasure & Bond suede swing Jacket 4 pairs of flats and 2 folded, dark gray, Lafayette 148 brushed cashmere button front cardigans all in key-lit, Feng shui’d simplicity. If you’ve never Feng shui’d a space then you’re missing something. Simplification = peace of mind. If you can, try Feng shui. Pick a room or even a closet, and switch it up like Nintendo - get rid of every extraneous piece of furniture, every bit of clutter, like knickknacks and tell me you can’t feel your mind relax in that space. on the fun side.. We went to the Moulin Rouge last weekend and yes, the red curtains are still hanging, and women still dance in diamonds and skin. The 2-hour show was stunning and even though there were naked ******* the ladies looked like angels. Even clowns are bare breasted at the Moulin Rouge. Now, when I picture angels - they have ******* I find myself listening to Olivia Dean and Harry Styles these days and Rosalía’s album Lux is a masterpiece. see ya! . .
