{Boy Meets Girl} Wang Xiao for Vogue China August 2011
July 27th, 2011 § Leave a Comment
Pitch-prefect Tomboy Style. Photographer Lincoln Pilcher captures model Wang Xiao for Vogue China in clothes I supremely hope I will be wearing this fall. I love the hats, but I am not sure I could pull them off. I always feel like I’m wearing a costume when I have a hat on…
Must have the Dieppa Restrepos.
These are close, but I really adore the sole/heel above.
Tie! Shoes!
The penny loafers by Church’s? Love.

Dree Hemingway for Vogue Turkey July 2011
July 15th, 2011 § Leave a Comment
In love with this editorial for Vogue Turkey lensed by Sebastian Faena and styled by Mary Fellowes. It is almost as if Dree Hemingway and Jon Kortajarena are showing us the scrapbook of their dreamy summer romance.
There is something about these pictures that resonates with me this evening. Is it the brooding romance? The fact that I am currently reading a novel by Dree’s great-grandfather? The topless sunbathing? The bleached out look of the photos? Whatever it is, I’m hoping to capture of bit of it this weekend, and I hope you do as well.
Sidenote: I’ve just joined Svpply and am loving it. Are you a member? Would love to see what you’ve found. You can find me here.

I am definitely in need of a new tuxedo jacket…
Hold.The.Phone.
Don’t like sequins — or Dolce & Gabbana, for that matter — but this is amazing.

This editorial immediately had me thinking of the progenitor and my favorite champion of “Le Smoking.” I would be remiss if I didn’t include a few iconic images of Bianca Jagger working.it. and the most famous one by Helmut Newton of YSL’s design.
For her wedding, Bianca wore a white suit, custom made by Nutters of Savile Row.

Looking for a tuxedo jacket just like me? Asos has some a few options here, here and here. Shopbop has a few here, here, here and here. Now, those are all great, but can we pause momentarily and meditate on the greatness of this Balenciaga amazingness?
Bianca would want me to have this. I can feel it.

I feel this editorial has been extracted from the depths of my brain somehow. I mean, we’ve got a sultry brunette, in gorgeous shirting, sporting exquisite accessories. It looks as if she’s just rolled from bed and pieced together something almost suitable from the items her gentleman has left strewn about. The insouciance of it all has me thinking of Sabina from The Unbearable Lightness of Being, not least of all because of the bowler hat.
Sidenote: I’ll be needing each and every pair of these shoes to get in my closet. Right. Now. J’adore.

Linda Evangelista and Christy Turlington for Harper’s Bazaar US May 1995
March 31st, 2011 § 7 Comments
I’ve gone to the archives for this one…well, the 90s archives. Linda Evangelista and Christy Turlington in a darling editorial for Harper’s Bazaar by Patrick Demarchelier that still feels fresh, even though it was shot nearly 20 (!!) years ago. Wearing classic looks, with a nod to the preppy, Linda and Christy demonstrate that elegance (and supermodels) will always be in season, n’est-ce pas?
Los Angeles is calling my name…

Sessilee Lopez for Elle UK April 2011
March 22nd, 2011 § Leave a Comment
In a head full of curls and wearing spring’s elegantly draped fabrics, Sessilee Lopez displays a bit of mid-century-flavored angst in “Silk Cut” for Elle UK April 2011. I’m immediately reminded of Betty forlornly laying on that horrible antique fainting chaise.

Finish off the look with a dramatic eye. DiorShow Blackout mascara is my go-to for ridiculously long, inky eyelashes. Go for the non-waterproof version, which is much easier to get off at the end of the night. Or the next morning, depending on how the night goes, I suppose. Available here.
