ODLR 1979

 Oscar de la Renta dresses, 1979 photo: W: The Designing Life, 1987

This is vintage ODLR from 1979 featured in W: The Designing Life, 1987 and found via OscarPRGirl. I love everything about this photo from the dresses to the shoes to the backward locket to the girls to the dock.

I hope you’re having a good week. I’m finally feeling like myself again.

Lady of Leisure

I adore this gorgeous and inspiring editorial. Sometimes I like the idea of being dressed to the nines with no particular plans at all…

I love everything about these two photos. The hair, the structure, the cheekbones…ahh.

Happy (almost) Holiday Weekend

Here’s hoping we all have magical weekends complete with frivolity and fun. I’m feeling heady with the promise of a few days off next week surrounded by friends and family. My beau is whisking me off to South Arkansas where we will eat, drink, go to an island in the Mississippi River, sit by the fire and inevitably see Harry Potter. This weekend looks to be the very last warm one we’ll have before we slip into holiday season and look forward to Spring.

Beautiful images by Roland Bello.

Let’s you & me head to the beach? Before it gets really chilly…

Sounds good, huh?
