Good Morning lovelies . . . exciting news.  Some of your are aware that I've been working on a special project with . . . (drumroll) . . .

Jana Kirn: What does the future hold for Paris and Charcoal Alley?

Paris:  “Don’t tell your dreams to the world—whisper them to love.” – Deepak Chopra said this, and love knows my dreams. The rest of the world will just have to wait and see . . . :)

don't think twice it's alright . . .

To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.

-Oscar Wilde -

Hello sweet darlings . . . Here in the high desert, winter kicks butt.  Short days, long nights, wet, cold, and dark . . .  it feels like the whole world is sleeping, dormant and just waiting.  So, I can’t begin to describe, how wonderful these first, warm days of spring feel to the psyche.  One feels the undeniable promise of rebirth . . . and an almost primal urge to burst up and out.  Blessed cycle of life returning . . . once again, the warmth of the sun on my face, the ephemeral impressions of light in my eyes, the utter ecstasy of the fragrance of plum blossoms on the currents of air.  
On the most perfect of spring days, we shot this look for a head-to-toe
Urban Outfitters collaboration.  I’m calling it “Don’t Think Twice”, because, whatever you do is all right.  You really can’t do it wrong if you do it your way.   And, for me, it went something like this . . . 

Urban Outfitters  Pins and Needles Lace Sharkbite Cami (wow!)
Chanon Thai yellow curry 
spring rolls, sticky rice
oolong tea,
leopard leggings 
pink sunset
pink Moxi roller skates
London Grammar jams
Moyette Paris 
pinot noir
park 
taxi
a trail of glitter  . . . 

Live your life well, my beautiful, lovelies.  Float into spring with an extra appreciation for the little details of your own extraordinary life.
