Dreams

Just listen to Susan Stamberg's NPR story on Maison Lesage in Paris here, Maison Lesage. Can you image creating the hand embroidered work for the top design houses in Paris? My favorite part is how Chanel's Angelique Ginguene describes the beginning of the creative conversation. Karl Lagerfeld says  "trails" or "Russia" and off they go. Love it!


Off to dream of my inspiration for Chanel.

Fall Fashion

The New York Times Travel section cover page http://travel.nytimes.com/2011/09/04/travel/return-to-kailua-hawaii.html?scp=1&sq=kailua,%20hi&st=cse this weekend was none other than my maternal family's home for over 50 years. My mother and her sisters grew up on the Kailua and Lanikai shores when it was truly a paradise. This picture is of my Tutu on the beach in front of their home. Can you imagine? I love her classic beach swimsuit pose, so reminiscent of that era.

So Obama and I have two things in common. We both had a Tutu and both feel at home on the Windward shores of Oahu.
