Paco Rabanne

What Whitley Wants // Rabanne H&M

The wait is over! Paco Rabanne x H&M Collection is here, and I’m not sure I could be much more excited. Shop all of my favorites in the links above, and get ‘em fast, because this collab will sell out quickly!

Summer Swell

Well, I did it. I took the advice of my cousin, the prescription of my therapist, the encouragement of friends and the wide eyed reminder of my children... I took the most luxurious, relaxing bit of slow down this summer. Horizontal on my vintage quilted floral couch swathed in my favorite Paco Rabanne, sipping bubbles from a Tiffany blue flute, my best girl lounging at my side... I mean if this is not what my stay at home lounging mama daydream turned real life dream turned reality looks like, then I need to get to working harder on relaxing more.

I'll have to figure out how to stay on this wave a little longer. But here's the thing, just as with the turning season, the swell will go down. How long can you really ride the wave of luxury and be happy? I mean, the wave would have to get boring, no? It's like our home. Old, modest in size, full of cracks and leaks. No no. It soulful, comfortable, full of character and charm. I might have to figure out how to ride the wave a little longer, but then perhaps I'll head for waters with slower tides. I'll be squeezing every single last drop out of you Summer 22, quite naturally, dressed for the occasion!

Blending In // Standing Out

🐆B L E N D I N G • I N 🐆

A wild cat in its natural environment is untamable, and let’s just be honest, honey, if my mother could tell you one thing for sure, it is I will never blend in. Why would I want to? And on that note, why should you!? And so, if the leopard upon leopard upon leopard does nothing else for you, here’s hoping it inspires you too to go for the unexpected and blend in too, or stand out, depending on how you look at it.

Designer Crush: Paco, Paco, Paco Rabanne! Resort'22 + Beyond

Paco Rabanne R22 1.jpg

If there is one designer I cannot get enough of, EVER, it’s Paco Rabanne. Collection after collection after season after season… It’s as if the brand lives in my head. Every single piece makes perfect sense to me and is BRILLIANT. Isabelle put together this collage of a few of my favorites from the Resort ‘22 Collection. I’m sorry to report I was asleep at the wheel publishing the post in time to shop the look, but I still wanted to share it with you here. Remember that gold chainmail dress from the cover of last November’s SouthPark Magazine Quarantine Daydream creation? Yep, that was Paco.

One of the designer’s best known creations was Jane Fonda’s Barbarella wardrobe designed in 1968. Remember this? What' can I say? You know I’d probably have to put this on for a trip to the supermarket.

If you follow me on Instagram, you know the silver and gold chain oversized sequin bag I carry pretty much on repeat…

Here is one version of that bag I keep coming back to, and here it is in all gold. I love little statement bag to up the wow factor of your overall look. Shop Paco Rabanne HERE and HERE till your heart’s content!

Oh My! Where do I start?! That Shrimps coat is such one heck of a bad, made, as in totally rad, statement coat that I want, I need, I have to have! And we both know there is no way to totally pull off that look without a fedora like this one from Janessa Leone! Need total darkness to sleep while Santa and the elves deliver their fits? Get some shut eye in style with this Marie Oliver eye mask! And then there’s that Paco Rabanne sweet little bag and couple glasses I spied on The English Room. Yes, I”m still mourinng the loss of my most coevet Chanel purse. This close to Carolina Blue one keeps catching my eye… and the list goes on! Shop all of these looks by click on the below images. Happy Holiday Shopping!
