That is, Oui Oui Jalouse!  Oui Oui!  We love it when our glossy’s hit the studio and we always anticipate our Jalouse’s and Numero’s.  Such a treat for the senses and so inspiring (I can’t even read french!)  This issue was packed with a lot of what we love.  I am now on the hunt for another striped shirt, as well as a pair of Celine platforms and I could not believe the Jalouse team tackled the challenging fashion runway item-of-the-moment (thanks to Marc Jacobs)…the bloomer.  Yikes!  Well, clearly, not a challenge for this team.  Just couldn’t believe how beautiful and how many ways they styled them…editorial after editorial after editorial. Oh those Parisians!

My platform choice for the season...ah, Celine...

how amazing..love the bold stripes & lips

Country & College is this incredibly creative accessory editorial from Jalouse (Oct 09).  Brandon & I have discovered a number of times that prop/accessory styling is more than challenging.  There’s no model involved to inspire or make everything look pretty.  So, I have to take a minute and just give credit where credit is due.  My creative hero’s this week are…Laure Ambroise, Laetitia Hotte, Eric Pillault & Jennifer Audinet.  This dream team created Country & College along with two other accessory stories, all three featured within the same issue…all three are brilliant.  This one, particulary, left Brandon & I constantly flipping from one shot to the next and then back again, leaving us wondering “how’d they come up with that??”.   Nice to see fabulous fashion accoutrements take on another life and also nice to see the Marc Jacobs bunny ears styled inside the house than outside
