Lola y Maria Loves Stella Forest

Just discovered this French brand today while shopping on Calle Barquillo in Madrid. The first thing to catch my eye was an incredible pair of thigh high boots (like I need any more). The brand, based in France and founded in 1998 has a few different locations in France and seems to be expanding to other European countries (hence this boutique in Madrid). Aside from the hot boots (still a bit steep at $300 USD - and this is on sale!), I also fell in love with this cheetah vest/coat. It's incredibly impractical for a New York winter but perhaps if it's on sale in Paris.......

This is a great picture of the family but why does Yasmin have to wear that fur wrap.
You see this fur wrap more often then her husband or children.

I was checking out Reuters website and

I thought this was a bit funny about the Italian Prime Minster.

The cover reads,

"All of the truth of the most famous escort from all over the world."
