Picture It: The Elysian Fields
Paris's Champs Elysees looks more like its namesake, the Elysian Fields of Greek mythology, after an artist turned the avenue into a giant field of flowers, grass, and other plants.
Paris's Champs Elysees looks more like its namesake, the Elysian Fields of Greek mythology, after an artist turned the avenue into a giant field of flowers, grass, and other plants. A French farmers' union organized yesterday's event to highlight the financial crisis facing farmers. Looks like a fun way to call attention to your cause!

How does one celebrate a new fashion title editorship? With parties on two consecutive evenings, one in Paris and one in Milan, of course! Stefano Tonchi was indeed feted by designers in both fashion capitals during a two-evening event honoring his new position as editor of W magazine. Starting in Milan in the gardens of the Bulgari hotel with Angela Missoni, Domenico Dolce, Stefano Gabbana, and Giambattista Valli in attendance, the party carried on to the Hotel D'Evreux the following evening where Tonchi lived it up with the Parisians—including Alber Elbaz, Victoire de Castellane, and Alexis Mabille.

House Tour: Philippe Starck's Cuckoo's Nest
I'm a huge fan of Philippe Starck's work.
I'm a huge fan of Philippe Starck's work. Heck, I have a borderline psychotic obsession with his Louis Ghost chair. But I never said he wasn't a nut case, too. Starck is the quintessential odd bird. So it's no surprise that photographer Todd Selby chose to photograph Starck's Parisian home — it completely fits the eclectic, maximalist profile Selby searches for for his interior shots.
In Starck's home, animated taxidermy, oddball paintings, knickknacks, and clutter abound, with a few luxe furnishings thrown in for good measure. It's surprising really; it's such a drastic departure from the polished and trendy interiors he designs, such as the Dwell95 apartments in NYC — with few of his own designs, too! But amidst all of the clutter, there are a number of things that I really, truly love, so come take a look.

Found It! Felt Rock Ottomans
This weekend I finally caught up on one of my French cinema Netflix picks, Paris, written and directed by Cédric Klapisch.
This weekend I finally caught up on one of my French cinema Netflix picks, Paris, written and directed by Cédric Klapisch. Set in the City of Lights, the film had plenty of beautiful sights, but it was only natural that the architect character in the movie would live in a hip modern abode. As he walked onto his expansive balcony with stunning city views, I got a glimpse of his cluster of felt rock ottomans. Not only are they a perfect fit for his contemporary home, but I'd definitely seen them before. Wonder where?

A major exhibition of the works by famed '60s French artist couple Claude and François-Xavier Lalanne kicks off in Paris today at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, and will run through July 4. The Lalannes are known for their large-scale animal and nature sculptures, notably their sheep sculptures. But in this exhibition, more than 150 pieces, including those monumental sculptures as well as smaller everyday objects like furniture and silverware, will be on view. It will be the first retrospective in Paris since 1977, but as you may remember, Lalanne works took over Park Avenue in New York just this past Fall. Now more than ever, there's simply no reason not to say bonjour to Paris. Summer voyage, anyone? Check out some of the works on display below.
