Girl Crush

She may be the daughter of Francis Ford Coppola, but Sofia Coppola has created a legacy all her own. Starting out in small roles in her fathers films, she never really wanted to act and transitioned into writing and directing at the age of 26.
LOVE this photo with her father by the infamous Annie Leibovitz
By age 33, she was nominated for THREE Academy Awards for Lost in Translation and took home the award for Best Original Screenplay. Overnight she made Scarlett Johansson (errrr…) and the Park Hyatt Tokyo overnight sensations.
While I do love her movies, I am more intrigued by her role in fashion. She has been the face of Marc Jacobs fragrances, directed commercials for Dior, and created her own line of Louis Vuitton handbags. The ads for her bags are brilliant and I wanted to share a glimpse into her fabulousness.

Oh and PS, she is dating the lead singer of Phoenix and makes her home in Paris…not a bad life, oui?

Sip and Listen
An absolutely gorgeous weekend lies ahead full of family, friends and parties! To get me there faster I will be jamming to this tune all day and looking forward to this much needed cocktail.
Pisco Punch
2 ounces pisco
1 ounces St. Germain
Pineapple Juice
Fresh Lime Juice
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add the pisco, St. Germain and pineapple juice and stir briskly for 20 seconds. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass and garnish with a lime.

Farewell to an Icon
Her courage, beauty, radiance, honesty and heart will be deeply missed.
