Lost in the Woods

I enjoyed the contrast of beauty in the stark woods in this editorial by Carter Smith for Vogue Nippon Feb 07. I hope you do too. The model is Julia Stegner.

Zara Wishlist

I may have mentioned my intense love/hate relationship with stores like Zara and H&M. While I love them dearly, I am prohibited from shopping them because of where I live (yes, Arkansas). Happily, I will be going to Dallas next weekend to visit my wonderful Aunt Ann. She is always amenable to shopping with me and has taken me to the loveliest little vintage shops. This time I’m going prepared…with a shopping list…for Zara!

The Dark Side

When skin is no longer sun-kissed and cheery brights have moved to the back of the closet, the best way to be captured on film is in black and white…

Cat-Eyes

Obviously blessed with bone structure, she looks lovely with bold cat-eye liner which is one of my favorite looks for winter.

Bundle Up

Winter seems to have arrived and while we haven’t gotten snow yet, everyone is bundled up. I love these two images from The Sartorialist of very chic girls in very chic coats.

Subtle Christmas

This gorgeous Swedish home is decorated just enough for my taste. There are subtle and thoughtful touches everywhere but none of the typical, overwhelming cheese that seems to accompany most decor I see. First of all, the home is quite chic on its own and the seemingly effortless air has carried over into holiday decorations. Just lovely.

Busy Friday…

It’s a very busy day at my office. Lots of meetings, preparations and holiday parties. Later, the long day will melt into evening and a million possibilities for frivolity…
