So I’ve ranted and raved about Garance Dore’s visit in Dallas, and finally here is the post! I really wanted to share because Garance is such an inspiration. She is so genuinely nice… and honest, chic, charming, beautiful, and nice. Did I mention nice? NICE goes a long way in my book.
In case you couldn’t tell, I’m completely smitten by her. We had the chance to ask questions, and all that popped into my head was ” “. Yes, absolutely nothing because I was a bit star struck! I hate it when that happens because I turn into a smiling mute!
But I jotted down all the happy and jumbled thoughts I have in my head from her FIRST question and answer session at SMU. Here are some quotes that stuck with me…

*A little more explanation on the last one*
Garance wants to make a movie one day. In order to become an expert, she does those lovely short films ‘Pardon My French‘. Isn’t that brilliant?!
During her SECOND appearance at Neiman Marcus, there was a brief Q&A session followed by a fashion show. Garance hand picked and styled all the outfits, and they were so chic!! She labeled each model a ‘personality’ of New York i.e. Brooklyn gal, Soho chic, etc. You can get a glimpse of their final looks – I snapped a quick pic of them with Garance. By the way, that pink Jil Sander draped gown is TDF!!
And she remembered me from the FIRST appearance! See, so nice!! {Apparently, when I am really happy, my smile turns into a snarl. What the heck? Since when do I crinkle my nose when I’m smiling – apparently only when the lovely Garance Dore is around!!}
And leaving you with my favorite quote from Garance…
P.S. Do you like my ‘homage to Garance’ in the first picture?! I think she was a little concerned about the reason why I was taking pictures of her heels!
