Am I being a brat? Are the pleats on the skirt that important? Discuss.

Um, hiring?

Head into the Laden Showroom on Brick Lane next time you're in London... you have to sift through a lot of flimsy floral tunic-dresses to find the few pieces of substance, but it's worth it.

Marais.

My new husband and I spent a romantic evening getting balls-to-the-wall drunk in this bar in the Marais in Paris, into which we probably shouldn't have been allowed. We were nowhere near cool enough.
