Yesterday, I fulfilled a goal of performing as an extra in a movie filmed in New York. The only way I was getting out of bed at 5am for a 6:30am call time was the idea that I was going to be a part of one of the most popular empires of my generation: the Sex and the City dynasty. Consequently, I was also ready to look like someone straight from the cast of Dynasty because I was scheduled to be 'background' in the 80s flashback scenes for the SATC sequel. When I arrived to the set at 6:30am bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, I was met with a group of disgruntled extras who had been dealing with the busy set, and long hours for a few days. I hit up wardrobe for my colorful costume: a calf-length ruffled dress in a bright pattern, finished with huge gold bracelets and big square earrings, an Hermes clutch, and an authentic reproduction of an Yves Saint Laurent shopping bag (I was listed as a 'Wealthy Shopper').

Nothing beats the burnout of a helluva work week better than an unexpectedly hot summery weekend in the spring, but just because it's May doesn't mean you shouldn't practice proper summer etiquette! Pack up your totes with this perfect selection of stuff that will keep you chic and satisfied for the perfect afternoon romp in the park.

It's sorta funny when cultures clash like, say, a Japanese cowboy (thanks Ween!). That's why I wasn't sure whether Sunday's Hermes show in Paris, loaded with a Western-wear theme, was another Bruno stunt. Turns out it was just designer Jean-Paul Gaultier, who rarely disappoints. "Jean-Paul loves women and dresses us in a feminine and very sensual way," Stephanie Seymour told Reuters. "I thought it was like a chic Pocahontas."

There’s a car out there, the Bugatti Veyron, which is the pinnacle of automotive achievement. 0 to 60 in 2.4 seconds. A top speed of 253 mph. It can burn through a tank of gas in five minutes. Its leather interior is hand-stitched by Hermés craftsmen over a period of eight weeks. It costs 2$ million. Only 300 will ever be made. It’s what they call a supercar. But we’d love to see it on the streets of Manhattan, where 0 to 60 will get you 25 to life. Read more here.
