Wave of the Future

SHOW REELA moment captured in my living room by Jamie. Dress by Oscar de la Renta.

Jamie of From Me to You is a phenomenal photographer and has become adept at a technique called cinemagraph, not quite a movie and not just a photo. It’s so lovely.

WHO’S WATCHING WHO?Cinemagraph by Jamie, shot in my apartment last week. THIS IS THE FUTUREThrough my new friends at tumblr headquarters I’ve recently come in contact with a very talented new photographer named Jamie. She and her boyfriend create these unique images she calls “cinemagraphs” - more than a photo, but not quite a video. Mark my words friends, this art form is the way of the future.

Remember when see-through purses were in? I don’t think I’ll ever go back there. But, I do believe this is the chicest of umbrellas. And I’m partial to a harlequin great dane.

Fabulous Prep

Oh look, here is the rest of his head :)

 

As the weather warms and the flowers bloom, I find myself attracted to preppy classics. There’s just something so fresh about clean lines and bright colors. I’m not going so far as to tie a sweater around my neck but I do have a certain fondness for madras and seersucker. I tend to veer towards the Jackie Kennedy or Kathryn Hepburn version of prep rather than Lilly Pulitzer. How about you?

Happy (April) Weekend

Flowers are blooming and the weather is warmer.  Have a cocktail. Go on a date. Wear a backless dress. Sleep in. Walk the dogs. Go to a party. Take a bath. Do whatever you want and enjoy every second. xo
