In The Schedule

Isn't it great when the weekend comes around so quickly?...a freezing cold start this morning, then a quick trip to the shops (nice shopping trip for one!), then some homemade pizza and a glass of wine - a great way to end the week.

Here's what else I found earlier this week...

+  Uniqueness, Tradition, Elegance and luxury - these are the concepts that Valentino designers Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli harness for the house's ranges year in and year out since their 2009 debut couture show.  Here a great interview with the design duo and what they have instore for the Valentino customer and the future (via Glass Magazine).

+ These shoes were made for walkin'... Cute video of 'handmade finished' Louboutin's making their way across the globe to Saks New York - leaving an impression wherever they go (as they should!) - via Fashionologie here.

+  Check out the Fondation Pierre Berge - Yves Saint Laurent website and find out how they are starting a project of putting the entire YSL archive online.   There's also the opportunity to purchase 'information kits' of archival designs presented in bound folders with info of trims, fabrication, hand drawn designs, production details and more.  For the fashion student in all of us - via French Vogue.

+  Have you seen these cute videos of Elettra Wiedemann catching up with notable celebrities over kitchen counters and a recipe or two?  This one with Grace Coddington, shows us a fabulous, if not comforting, Steak and Potato Gratin recipe that Grace makes when cooking dinner for friends - ummm, perhaps not Vogue friends right?  Here via US Vogue.

+  And to end the week... why not check out the new song from songbird Kylie Minogue ( I bet she doesn't eat much Steak and potatoes gratin?)... via Nowness.







Have a lovely weekend...
