Net-A-Porter features three fragrances for summer evenings, with one of them being my favorite. Tom Ford's White Patchouli is my current scent. Not to mention, I fancy the white and gold bottle. With the lovely scents of peony, rose, jasmine and the like, I'm glad to know it's Net-A-Porter approved.
Birkin Babe
Jane Birkin looking iconically like Jane Birkin.
Striped for Summer
Helmut Newton. Summer. I love the one-pieces, they remind me of Solid & Striped's suits. I just ordered their Anne-Marie suit. See their lookbook video campaign, here. I can see the puffy clouds and bouganvillea in my dreams already...
From Here to Eternity
Burt Lancaster and Deborah Kerr’s iconic beach kiss is still one of my favorite romantic scenes. The smoochy scene is from the 1953 film "From Here to Eternity".
Into the Mystic
I'm yearning for some time back home and this shoot shot by the legendary Boo George always makes me nostalgic for summer back east. The shoot was shot several years ago starring Teddy Sears and Hilary Rhoda at the home belonging to Marina Rust. I just love how the photographs epitomize the American summer adventure.
Inland Sailing
"Inland Sailing" the cover of Life Magazine in 1949.
Night Moves in Night Drifts
Love this fun nod back to the '60s with Veruschka modeling these fabulous frocks. Not to mention, the costume jewelry is to die for. Perfect summer inspiration.
The Archives
Love this image of magazines stacked in artist Frank Faulkner's home. He has issues that go back decades. I, too, collect some of my favorite magazines and after years they are little gems of history and beauty I reference from time to time. To see more of his home, see here.
