an imaginary conversation with DV

When I discovered 10 Magazine a few months ago, I nearly had a heart attack. Never had I seen another print magazine that celebrated the likes of Diana Vreeland and Fleur Cowles! Above is my favorite piece from the magazine’s Winter 2010 issue - an imaginary bbm conversation between one of their staff writers and DV. How fabulous. I just had to scan it so that my readers could take a peek :)

Hermès Playing Cards 6. “Abbey Road” by The Beatles (one of her favorite bands) 7. Asprey Scarf Belt 8. Harper’s Bazaar, June 1952 9.

want of the day

 

After I posted photos earlier today of Mr. Cary's apartment, I took an hour off to peruse his product offerings. He has a truly incredible eye - I've never seen an assortmant of so many beautiful things! While I want everything he currently has for sale, Cecil Beaton's New York is at the top of my list. The book is stunning with and without it's dust jacket - I'm sure it's content is unreal. It's only $2500... who wants to buy it for me?! 

charlotte casiraghi: equestrian chic

Charlotte Casiraghi is one of my ultimate style icons. That being said, I can’t believe that I am just now discovering these images from her December ’10 editorial French Elle. Isn’t she stunning?! The girl’s a dead ringer for her grandmother, HRH Princess Grace of Monaco. I’m obsessed with her equestrian-chic style - that crisp white button-up blouse is killing me! I think I need to start riding horses so I have an excuse to dress comme ça :)
