“But I must remember to write about my clothes next time I have an impulse to write.
My love of clothes interests me profoundly; only, it is not love; & what it is, I must discover.” 

-Virginia Woolf

truman capote goes ice skating



Don’t these photos of Mr. Capote make you want to throw on your finest fair isle and hit the ice? If only I could skate! I can hardly make it around the rink without falling several times (my friends can attest-- I am horrid). I’m a bit shocked to see that Truman was a rather skilled ice skater-- who would have thought? These photos were taken for one of Life Magazine’s “Leisure” issues... I’m keeping my eyes peeled for a hard copy!

classic jackie o.



My friend Natalie posted these classic shots of Jackie O. to her blog the other day. She scanned the images in from a 1972 issue of Life that she picked up while vacationing in California. Aren’t they lovely? If you weren’t already aware, I’m a bit obsessed with Life Magazine-- I couldn’t resist the urge to repost! Natalie scans in cool images all the time and has the most fantastic taste... you’re missing out if you’re not following her, I tell you!
