This is an official declaration from l'etoile! Mating season has settled upon our fair cites, so it is high time for mischief, mad-capping and most importantly: makeouts. This weekend we've happily provided a number of musical events in hopes certain songs just might wind up in steady rotation on your summer lovin' soundtrack.
A special thanks to the hundreds of best friends who helped celebrate the launch of our Spring/Summer issue last Friday - we simply adore you all!

BASE
In our wildest dreams, an adoring and anonymous fan of l'étoile's Weekend What's What would spontaneously send us a gift certificate to BASE. This highly select grouping (they actually have a curator for the store) of accessories, music, books and housewares has us drooling and staring in sadness at the lint in our wallets. p.s. #1 on our wish list is the Carlos Nite Lite. Adorable!
