From left to right: 1) Me with my managing editor and artistic director, holding the latest issue of Atlas Magazine! 2) The queen herself. 3) Finals = subsisting off coffee and chocolate. 4) My dapper little snuggle buddy. 5) Latest addition to my bustier collection. 6) All I want to eat is breakfast all the time.

I’m in love with the maxi silhouette this season. For many years I avoided long skirts and dresses because of my height. But this year I shed my old fashion fears and embraced this bohemian inspired trend. I bought this cranberry maxi skirt in Paris a few months ago.
