If you appreciate beautiful Parisian decor, from Baroque consoles to gilded wood Louis XVI style beds, and you happen to be in Paris this week, there is an auction happening at the Ritz Paris for over 3500 pre-renovation items you might, if for nothing else, find yourself swooning over.

I don’t know about you but the first glimpse of George Clooney’s then girlfriend, Amal, and all I could think about was how much she resembled Jackie Onassis. A modern day version of course. Same sort of flair I think, and I am seeing more and more each day why George has fallen in love with this mediterranean beauty and brains. Lucky for some of us, Bazaar has posted some of Amal’s most stylish looks, which naturally I love. Take a look and let me know what you think?

Since I am one who commutes to work every day on the San Francisco Muni, I often look around the train to get a feel for how women dress while going to work.
