I got two paragraphs into this profile on Carine Roitfeld, exactly up to the words ‘with a drooling gallery of views from her apartment,’ before I bolted over to the website IwanttobeaRoitfeld.com.

The French super stylist seems to live in one of those dreamboat Paris apartments with high ceilings and massive balconies with wrought iron railings. You know the ones – you want one, I want one, we all want one.

I’ll say this much, Carine doesn’t keep much stuff around. She does seem to understand a good floor when she sees one though.

Selfie!

The website editor has gone to the bother of dissecting CR’s home library from a single picture, which you can read all about here. From this I’ve concluded that she is authentic in her claim of wanting to be a Roitfeld. Me? I just now want a chevron step in my house.
