I have tried at various times to capture an “OOTD” but can never seem to get it right. Regardless, I am going to share this vintage dress (a favourite!!) — created by Jewett, Inc of Rochester, NY — this black wool and satin dress is lovely. Isn’t the bow just darling?! Even the stiff ruffled, satin collar is so flattering…

I thought I’d take Anthology’s advice: “Eat, drink, & be merry!” (Not that I ever need an excuse to cook and eat!) After finding the most fresh & delicious looking black mission figs, I made fig-ricotta-caramelized onion pizzas & romaine-endive-radicchio salad for dinner. Just a simple dressing tonight — sweet white wine vinegar and extra virgin olive oil! For dessert? Homemade coconut-flavoured frozen yogurt topped with dark chocolate sauce, Navan-laced whipped cream and toasted coconut…
I want to live in this video’s vibe — Vampire Weekend gets better & better! Not only does NYC look great, but it totally reminds me of some of Woody Allen’s films…or maybe some 1970s cinema…

While sifting through piles of saved papers (parents are cleaning house and sent all my junk to me), I came across a magazine spread that I’d kept from my teen years— navy, white, stripes, nautical, retro, Gatsby inspired style — I was in love! With the Baz Luhrmann version of The Great Gatsby poised for release, I thought it might be a good time to share this low-key, less glitzy version. Incidentally, this spread came out of Sassy — too bad I didn’t actually keep the magazines…sometimes I could just kick myself!
