What a night to remember! My son and I were lucky What a night to remember! My son and I were lucky enough to see the U.S. premiere of @cirquedusoleil Echo when it opened this week. Leave it to Cirque du Soleil to transport our imaginations to a magical paper universe in the sky. 
.
I don’t want to spoil the show with any more details than that, but I will say the music, the costumes, and characters are some of the best I’ve seen yet! 
.
Thank you for a very special evening @taa_pr!

@sezane’s new leather bag line has all the trappings of a collection you’ll want every piece of — beautiful hardware, sleek silhouettes, and high quality leather in the most perfect array of understated hues. I decided to be practical when I picked this one in glossy black, but I quickly see this veering into “gotta catch ‘em all” territory.

Tl;dr: I’m here for it.
