from paris spring haute couture





LVMH has sold Christian Lacroix down the river (to the Falic Group), shortly before what appears to be an incredibly wearable haute couture collection. Oh, well. It frees things up ever so much more for LVMH's war on Chinatown and Louis Vuitton copyright infringement. Bazaar recently featured an article that smacked of Ministry of Defense sentiments ("Does your knockoff handbag support terrorism?")

a friend of mine has just returned from visiting family in milan and she brought me Selz Soda Dufour candies. Placing one in your mouth is delightfully similar to having a bomb lobbed at you (see...how often can you say that in a positive way). The candy hisses and tickles your tongue and the roof of your mouth, until it finally collapses with a gorgeous sounding (and tasting) crack against your palate. This is how limoncello should taste (but doesn't); tart, refreshing, and relaxing. the perfect thing for a warm angeleno day.
