What better way to begin a new year than with a little romance? And after all the rather eventful holiday celebrations and New Year's festivities, was drawn to the cool, laid-back glimpses of a day in the idyllic life of Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis shot for French Glamour . . .

{p.s.}
And while we're on the topic of romance, have you seen Joanna and Alex's wonderful engagement photos?

New Year's resolutions: try to be much better with answering e-mails and to find more time for languid lounging . . .
