A place where being in love with love, clothes, dreaming & globe wandering, are realized.
Where art, style, creative writing combine, to fashion a dreamily romantic display of curated look-books.
|... In Bed With Jonesy New York|
It's no secret to those close to me how obsessed with underwear I am! Jonsey New York is one of my new favorites, and it was fun to meet the team to play with pictures! I love high waisted retro looking panties, and these were so awesome matched with the razorback bra!
Peace&Love, Claire

The Air
I'm beyond inspired by beautiful coffee table books. There is something so decadent about a large, heavy, covered book, filled with someones amazing life stories. Whenever I'm feeling a lack of inspiration, opening up the Kate Moss or Tom Ford books always stimulates my mind. Beauty is what makes my mind turn, conventional, unconventional beauty is what interests me. People and their quarks is what makes things interesting. xxxC

Throwaway Cameras Tell No Lies
There's this weird, almost romantic truth, about the images from throwaway cameras, a real unapologetic display of whatever you pointed the plastic lens at that I personally can't get enough of.

The Chanel Espadrilles

Perfect Summer Creation. Frozen berries, Seltzer water, ice, and lemon. PERFECTION

Clothes need settings to be special and settings need outfits to be remembered. Whenever I buy something new, I make up a story of where I see myself wearing the piece, this time the story happened to be more perfect than anything I could have imagined.
It was Sunday night in Gloucester Massachusetts, the sunset was perfect, and the ocean breeze made it easy to be grateful. I was wearing Madewell overalls, a J. Crew Sailor top, and the item of desire, (the sold out everywhere), black and white canvas Chanel espadrilles. I’m not sure I had a story for these babies yet; they were so special their showcase had to be perfect. When I got dressed that night I thought to myself “f*ck It, I’ll wear them here, and then set up an occasion in NYC to break them out for real.” The Madfish is a bar located literally on top of the water in a small bay, and on Sunday nights they have a live Reggae band. A newly minted PR Agent, a physicist, a vet tech, and myself, made our way to the summer hangout. I am nothing like my best friends at all, and that is why we have all been friends for twenty plus years. They get me in ways nobody in NYC would even be able to start, and it’s so refreshing to talk about things that don’t involve the small social circle that is fashion and PR in NYC. We got to the bar, had a few tequila shots, and danced with the lifeguards that used to be cute when we were 16, (they were never cute, it’s a small town, EW), and literally had the most amazing night on the water, in the best of company. I had a moment on the dance floor when I looked down and the tip of my shoe was scuffed from the spinning and dipping, and I thought to myself “that’s what Chanel is for, to be worn and loved.” Every time now I look down at my shoes I can’t help but smile, they symbolize the perfect summer night.

Clarity
I’ve learned in 2013, that clarity can come from accepting a lack of clarity that is a reality of life. Plans change, friendships end, love is lost, family dynamics shift, but the personal the growth I have experienced this year has come from accepting the unknown. I’ve thought a lot about perception, something that in my opinion truly runs society and interactions in general. New York city is the world’s melting pot for so many different characters and environments that provides endless opportunists for various types of interactions where perception, what you say, how you carry yourself, is constantly scrutinized.
