At Home With Julia Restoin-Roitfeld




I recently came across these pictures of Julia Restoin-Roitfeld at home in her New York apartment on The Selby.  I am struck immediately by a few thoughts.  

First and foremost, I wonder why my own home seems so cluttered.  I day dream of clean lines and bare floors with just a few necessary pieces of furniture.  I contemplate holding a garage sale to dispose of all my knick knacks ASAP.  I curse the last few things I picked up at Anthropologie and make a pact with myself to acquire less and to lounge glamorously on my couch more often.

Secondly I wonder could it true that only french girls with fabulous and iconic mothers can possess that certain je ne sais quoi like Julia and Charlotte Gainsbourg.  Red lips and unfussy hair.  Platform shoes with shorts?  

Somewhere in Paris, do they wonder how we American girls pull it off?  I vow to try a little harder.
