For me, sneakers will never be really feminine, and anyway, I don’t play any sports. I’m having French girlfriends over, and I started by picking up dark Nestlé chocolate to make Sonia’s recipe for mousse au chocolat. At home, I changed into a big soft Rodarte sweatshirt that I bought at Opening Ceremony. It says “J’aime Rodarte” on the front and “Je déteste Rodarte” on the back. It’s so nouvelle vague. On bottom, I had on fuchsia silk and lace shorts from Sabbia Rosa, this lingerie shop on Rue des Saint-Pères in Paris. The three of us watched “Á Bout de Souffle” and “Le Mépris” while eating the entire mousse and debating Jean Seberg and Brigitte Bardot’s sense of style.”<br/><br/> - <em><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/02/fashion/lola-burstein-rykiels-parisienne-style.html?ref=fashion">Lola.</a></em>http://jesseellison.com/post/10980421546http://jesseellison.com/post/10980421546Mon, 03 Oct 2011 10:52:17 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lpmqfpH1Ax1qzvii3o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>“<span>Featuring inspirational, international women, <a href="http://www.thegentlewoman.com/">it</a> pairs ambitious journalism with a sartorial and intelligent perspective on fashion that is focused on personal style – the way women actually look, think and dress.”</span></p> <p><span><span>About.
