Throwback Tuesday: Linda for Vogue UK, May 1997

Hiya, Tuesday. I'm throwing it back today and not Thursday because I'm just that way. Deal with it. Oh, and Happy Earth Day. We've got to get better at taking care of our planet, you know. Summer is coming and no doubt it's going to be the hottest one yet- thanks, humankind. Nice work.

And as the Spring fashion mags gear up for Summer (as well as the rest of us), I couldn't help but feel overwhelmed with inspiration for summer vacation vibes when I saw this story yesterday from 1997- my fav gal Linda Evangelista and her transcendent bob (nobody wore it better) and fantastic minimal cool, sexy style. That photo above of her on a  bike perfectly captures the freewheeling fun of longer and lazy days in the sun.

I love the images shown here- photographerMario Testino  perfectly captured the mood of warm weather, tan limbs, and that Summer wind, as he so often does. I love how 17 years later, these looks are still so amazing- so timeless and chic. What a beautiful story- what will you be wearing on your retreat from real life this Summer? I'm digging the mini vibe here as well as the simple black sweaters. Fab. I adore black and white when it comes to easy peasy vacation dressing- you simply can't go wrong, not to mention stripes are lovely by the seaside.  Cause that's what's up this back to the basics kind of Tuesday in the warm and balmy 212. Yours, in getting away from it all, with style. XO
