• Five minutes with Audrey Tatou about her new movie, Delicacy
• Next on my film books list: François Truffaut’s Hitchcock: A Definitive Study of Alfred Hitchcock
• Marianne Breslauer: Photographs discovered via The Sartorialist. “With an infallible intuition for atmosphere and compositional ingenuity, she captured the essence of life from an era coming to an end”: from Paris street style to everyone who who anyone in the art world of late-1920s Berlin.

    Good morning Ada and thank you for those links! I’m so curious about the Alber Elbaz book…and it looks beautiful like one of his creations! I’ve never been a big fan of Massimo Dutti – this has something to do with the fact that a Spanish brand chose an Italian name, which is something I don’t get… – but they do have some very nice, classic pieces.

      I’ve never thought of the name part before. Well, yes, it’s very Italian, but I’ve come across so many brands from all over the world with Italian, French or English names (tradition, resonance, the reasons can vary). And the brands in the Inditex group range from English names to Italian ones. xo

    Ada, I am just booking a flight for Andalusia Spain, so I am happy to see your inspiration of today ;). I can’t wait to see Audrey Tatou, I like her very much and those flowers decorations are lovely, especially with that white wrought bed! :*

    That Spanish Summer house looks magical – the wide open spaces + that fabulous outdoor area look like a perfect way to spend a relaxing afternoon. I’m very much looking forward to Audrey Tautou’s new movie Delicacy, so thank you for sharing the interview! xx

    I loved reading about the Mulleavy sisters and their aesthetic and how they got to where they are now. They sound so cute – more power to them I say.
    And Audrey Tatou – she’s so lovely isn’t she. I must find out when the Lanvin book comes out and get that for my collection! It will be very very interesting.
    Lovely links as usual… thanks for the DVF link too… xx
