Neha Leela

Restlessness led me to book an impromptu weekend in the city of light.  I’m armed with my journal and books for endless amounts of brasserie idling.  I maintain a continued faith that remnants of years of french might salvage my dignity at the sunday morning food markets and I continue to entertain my flea market fantasy of rummaging through bins of vintage hermes scarves.

Beyond the gourmand and the Goyard, there’s a sepia-toned simplicity, femininity and elegance to Paris that I can’t wait to be enveloped by.

Natalia Vodianova for Vogue China, April 2010 oozes feminine melodrama.  Love this imagery: an intersection of playful touseledness and understated elegance.

The first lady graces the cover of one of my favorite magazines this month, conde nast traveler, as part of her continued efforts to build connection and curiousity around her new city.  Decked in DVF’s della dress, she is the new posterchild of DC – modern meets classic.
