BFFS

For several years now I’ve had a sort of obsession with Charlotte Casiraghi.

She has a remarkable sense of style and Teen Vogue (which I swear is one of my favorite mags) often features pictures of her prancing around Europe looking marvelous. She and her friends are always seen at Paris Fashion Week decked out in enviable couture, looking fabulous and attending exclusive parties. I mean, come on, she lives the LIFE. She totally has that Euro-Princes-I-own-an-island-ness, and her social endeavors must be insane. But she also seems sort of sweet and, well, normal. Her style tends to have a casual, carefree tone to it... perhaps much like her attitude? And her dedication to her family (and country) are pretty admirable. So basically, I think she rocks and I think we could totally be best friends. I don’t speak French, but she might be impressed with my half ass Spanish skills. Or maybe she would appreciate the fact that I lived in the Basque country, or that my middle name is French (Jamar), or just my general ability to start great dance parties. We could totally listen to Yelle and share Stella McCartney tops and paint our nails matching colors…oh how tres amazing it would be! (Seriously, I know NO French.)

So here are some fun facts about Charlotte:

• She lives in Monte Carlo, Monaco- ummm I die. I went to Monaco once for a DAY and although I was terribly carsick on a bus the entire time, I was still able to appreciate how GORGEOUS it is. One day I will be back…and not so ill…and hopefully on a yacht.
• She was born with the title- Centre Hospitalier Princesse Grace.
• Her Grandmother was Grace Kelly!
• Her mother is the Princess of Monaco- I believe that makes her the next princess. But I don’t totally understand these things. When we're friends she'll tell me.
• She has two brothers Andrea and Pierre- Just like me! Except not the same names.

• She’s 23- we’re pretty much the same age.
• Vanity Fair has put her on the International Best Dressed List. Of course!
• She’s a published writer and magazine editor- jealllllll!! That is insanely amazing.
• Her grandparents bought her an island off Sardini- like, her own ISLAND.

So ya, she's fabulous and I think we should be best friends.
We'll totally invite you to our parties...maybe.
