Photography: Stephen Shore

Stephen Shore is a photographer that I can't believe I haven't posted about before.  (I actually had to check my archives to find out).  I know his photos have appeared here in the form of an Urban Outfitters catalogue, but I've never done a post about his own photography.  I like the stillness of the images.  The empty spaces on which you can impose your own stories and histories. 

Almost Goodbye

This will be the last you'll see of me for a while.  We're in the last stages of preparing for our trip.  Bags are being packed.  Weather is being checked.  Final reservations are being made.  Eurail passes have been purchased.  The cat/house sitter has been hired.  I can't believe I'll be in London in just a few short days.   then it will be radio silence around here for about two weeks.  I thought about trying to set up some guest blogs, but I think I'll just let it mellow out around here for a little bit.  I'm sure I'll return with enough photos to last the rest of the summer.

Sonia Rykiel | SS 2012

Sonia Rykiel 

Yes the clothing is cool, I so like some of it. Not my favorite fashion collection, to be sure, but the hair! I love the way the hair style is so effortless, minimal, pretty and a bit Lauren Bacall. I've been growing my bangs out, which is a thankless task and seeing these photos was just the thing to reiterate my goal. 

Oh but that striped maxi dress? Yes, that's the shit.

No. 6

I'd love to visit the No. 6 store in Little Italy.  Their invitation to take your time while going through their shop as if "perusing a good friend's closet, though a fabulously stylish and impeccably organized one" is pretty hard to resist.  I think that fun attitude really comes through with their spring lookbook.

Juliette Hogan Summer 2012

After I posted about their new online shop (I'm still drooling over this dress), the kind folks at Juliette Hogan sent me their summer 2012 lookbook to preview.  As always, I'm smitten with almost everything;  the lightweight fabrics, the sheer details, the modern prints paired with vintage silhouettes.  This would make such a wonderful summer wardrobe.

I buy something new (not vintage) once every almost never. But I like to pine for things not found at the thrift store, antique mall or on eBay that's for sure. My Pinterest 'want' board is a testament to my window shopping. I think the only thing I'll actually try and buy are the wooden egg crates because due to my proclivity toward cocktails with egg whites, the house always a supply of eggs on hand.
