Last month I wrote about Lou Doillon. This week I am writing about her mom, Jane Birkin. Perhaps you have heard of the little known, under-the-radar designer bag, the Hermes Birkin? It was named after French songstress and actress, Jane. As lore goes, Jane was boarding a flight and the basket she used as a [...]
Didn't every blogger and their mama published a gift guide starting in IDK, the second week of November? While I did post what I had on my list for my mom, dad, sister, brother-in-law, and husband last year, it was mostly a way to keep my own lists organized and on my radar to purchase. [...]
