Good afternoon, Tuesday. I've been quiet for a few days because quite frankly, the world is so insanely messed up right now I really can't bear to process any of it. I find myself avoiding Facebook in the hopes of some respite from all the tragic stuff going on. I'm not one to ignore what's happening in the world, but sometimes one just needs a break.
As I cruised around online looking for something to inspire me (as I do), I found this brill July 2014 Spanish Vogue Story featuring the superhot Alba Galocho and shot by Mario Serria on a fun blog called Visual Optimism. In addition to featuring some to die for looks in my rock and roll wheelhouse, I realized that I take great comfort in looking at pretty pictures. I feel fortunate to have worked with photographers for a long time now, because I really find happiness in looking at the way people interpret everything from fashion to culture to normal life. It's beautiful, and I never get bored looking at gorgeous.
Here's my favorites from that story- so gooood. And although the world around me is seemingly imploding, I remain visually optimistic, and encourage you to do the same. Although I'm well aware that fashion is not going to fix the world, it makes me happy, and I need all the help I can get right now. I so needed that. I also need that denim on denim look with the Birks but that's for another post.
Cause that's what's up this aesthetically aspirational Tuesday in the 212. Yours, in keeping it together, and snapping away. XO
PS- also Hashtag the Panda and listening to Old Van Halen helps too somehow.
