Pre-fall, Wildfox and Francesca Lia Block collection. Magicalcreature.com Pre-Fall 2012 Magical Creatures Magical Creatures is a story written for Wildfox by critically acclaimed author, Francesca Lia Block.
Francesca has been an inspiration for Wildfox creators, Emily Faulstich and Kimberley Gordon, since before the birth of Wildfox in 2007. Together Francesca, Emily and Kim have based a collection of dreamy T shirts on the story of 3 very different, magical girls who live in our favorite Wildfox cities – Ella, a fairy from Los Angeles, Cherie, a gypsy from Paris, and Dahlia, a witch from New York.
Francesca tells a story of these three girls and their important friendship, a metaphorical weaving of magic and mystery, beautiful clothes, and romantic back drops. “When I first moved to Los Angeles I was so scared. It was a maze of crazy nights and hazy days in an unknown city filled with strangers and endless possibilities. Now you can share in the love of Francesca and Wildfox and decide which girl you are.
Photos: Kimberley Gordon. Apples and Butter. I woke this morning slightly confused to find myself in New York City. See, I was supposed to be back here a week ago, but, like so many others, my travel plans fell victim to the blizzard in New York. My original flight was canceled and the earliest that Virgin America could rebook me was not early enough to make it back for my class at The French Culinary Institute last Wednesday. Rather than continue to fight lines and standby lists at the airport, I extended my stay in California and what was meant to be a five-day trip, turned into 12.
I would have been disappointed to miss any class at FCI, but last week was my buffet night. In level 4, students spend two weeks preparing food for a buffet that the entire school attends. I had been working on a foie gras terrine, head cheese, kimchi and bulgogi, a carrot sesame terrine, a dark chocolate crepe cake, duck confit, and cassoulet. But, as one learns to do, I made the best of it. This soup is comforting and hearty. *Cute n Cool* Blog Stuff.
