Have you seen the new shelter magazine Rue? Check it out for Jamie Beck's beautiful photographs of an eventful day with interior designer Vicente Wolf. Photos of Victoria of the blog SFGirlbyBay in her charming abode are also featured in Rue's premier issue.
I had planned to be in London this week, with an afternoon at Liberty fawning over Manolo Blanik's new collection and visiting the V&A's special installations for London Fashion Week. Instead, I've been home fighting a bug/virus David brought home from China.
I've seen two unusual DVDs: the British film Fleur du Desert about the extraordinary journey of Waris Dirie and the Danish film After the wedding. Both are well worth your time. Besides processing hundreds of photos, I've been reading books at lightning speed, so there are fewer books to move. With every item that goes out of the apartment, I feel the burden of SO MUCH STUFF ease.
Speaking of possessions, Danielle La Porte tackles this loaded topic in a guest post today at Bindu Wiles.
Back soon with a special post about Patti Digh's new book Four World Self Help.
Beautiful picture. You captured an 18th century Japanese silk screen.

OK, my dear -- I'm looking at your posts above and below and running behind, so one mongo-sized comment here! First of all, I hope by the time you read this you are feeling much better. No fun having bugs whatsoever, especially when they cancel travel plans! (And fashion!)
Second, I agree so much about your title. While I love your Paris posts most of all, I'm always pleased to see your wonderful images from points far from France! And you are right, right, right! You have a wonderful name, a wonderful blog and a great gift. Time to match them up!
Finally, the photo from Seville at the top is simply lovely.
Take care.

Send that bug back to China! Tell it to pack it's wee suitcase, and hand him his wee hat.
Love the shot of geraniums. And a sight for sore eyes, that banner is your best. My all time favourite. It sums you up perfectly!!!
Get well soon, and it was so good to hear your voice the other day!! xoxoxo

Feel better! If you do manage to rally—I'll be at a lot of the events this week, not to mention helping my friend host a party in Southwark—so let me know, I'll be handy.

Just want to say what a great blog you got here!
I’ve been around for quite a lot of time, but finally decided to show my appreciation of your work!

These are the kinds of images I like best - silhouette shows. Ditto everything else. You are on a roll today. I will find the movies.
