Good morning, Tuesday. It's a chilly but pretty day here in the NYC and I'm listening to Peter Tosh and thinking about Miami. I'm not sure what's up with me this am, but I had a real hankering for Miami, and I'm very excited that I'll be there for a shoot next week. As many of you know me and Miami were not exactly besties, but there were lovely and amazing things there- my gorgeous waterfront apartment, my tree lined drive to work, the way the sun feels there and that incredible light. Once in a great while, I need a little taste. I'm glad I'm getting one next week. I think most of all I'm excited to get out of Dodge for a few days. I need some otherness.
In other news, as you get yourself good and ready for Spring, it's key to get some inspiration. I got an email this am from Tory Burch and I gotta say I'm feeling jazzed by what she's doing. It's true that if I see another girl in those Reva flats, I may go white walker on them, but Tory has an incredible, referential eye that I truly admire. Her styling and mix of boho/prep/classic are incredibly fun to look at, and wearing them would probably be equally amazing.I am obsessing over her looks for Spring- think Ruth Orkin photograph of young ingenues in Rome (see above)- or arty and wayward exchange students abroad in a Woody Allen film or PYTs on the set of "The Talented Mr. Ripley".
These are clothes for summer travel and adventure, when the day quickly turns into night and when time is lost wandering in a museum or sitting in a cafe. I am hearting all the knee length looks, the combo of red and cream, and that yellow dress is kind of everything. I adore that blue tie dye skirt, and that length is just so pretty- adore how she is doing so much knee length- very pretty and demure for lazy summer days and very in tune with the Gatsby moment we're currently loving in fashion. But my fav piece I've seen is neither skirt, top, or dress. It's the Ambrosia sandal. Because even though I'm not one for fussy clothes, I'm definitely one for a frilly shoe- and these are a fantastic way to bring a bit of flair into the warmer months. They're just fabulous and that's that.
