collections : back to school.

It's time to go back-to-school, whether you're a college student or have children of your own, which sadly means one thing... summer is almost over. But oh well, at least there are some fabulous school supplies to covet.

ten images of inspiration : jazz age lawn party.

Someday, I really need to go to New York's Jazz Age Lawn Party. It has been going on bi-annually for six years and every time I see photographs posted from it, I deeply yearn to enjoy it myself. Really, what can be better than a day of dancing, fabulous vintage ensembles, jazz, old-fashioned cocktails, and sunshine? I desperately need to book myself a trip next time.

collections : the roaring twenties.

On Saturday, I happily sat in a movie theater and watched Midnight in Paris, which not only did I thoroughly enjoy, but it also once again reignited my deep love for the early twentieth-century. I get so captivated by the music, art, style, and crazy soirees... ah, those golden twenties.
