What did I get in my stocking? Certainly NOT the Maï Lamore “rose” stilettos, with gold heel and bee.
Mai Lamore has designed a pair of shoes worthy of being called art. The thorny heels are 18 karat gold and the silk petals are hand-dyed. The bee is made of gold, onyx and agate.Price $27,945 !!!

Check out an interview with Ms. Lamore:

Layers

Loving these layers to warm up on a frosty wintry day.

Visions of Sugarplums

Wouldn't this give you sweet dreams? Remember what fun it used to be in first grade to whip one of these suckers together?

SNOW Cool

Happy Christmas to everyone! Live free, be happy, and enjoy the moment.

Ready for Ruffles

Sorry for the lack of posts--studying for finals +the holiday season +waiting for some shots from a recent photo shoot (can't wait to show you them!) add up to a busy Nicole. I did happen to spot these sweet ruffles that seemed to sing flirty and fun. Hope your holidays will be like that too!

Miss Dior

Sofia Coppola has directed a happy new commercial for Christian Dior’s Miss Dior Chérie fragrance with model Maryna Linchuk. The song she uses is ‘Moi Je Joue’ by Brigitte Bardot. THIS would be a dream job!
