a white shirt that fits perfectly

celine under phoebe philo

the way cashmere pills after the second season, and becomes softer

a croissant from du pain et des idees, still warm

the jardin du palais royal in the rain

rei kawakubo

a well-cut trouser in black wool crepe

the way sontag dressed

eric rohmer's summer films

red lipstick, one shade, always the same

cafe de flore, only in winter, never in summer

the principle that style is the residue of decisions, not additions

francoise hardy's voice

walking home along the seine at 11pm

dressing for yourself and no one else

a navy breton stripe, always

the first cold day that justifies a coat
