Good morning, Monday. My life of leisure is on hold for the moment- duty calls and it's back to early mornings for this chick.
I can't help but notice that there are people ALREADY complaining like crazy about the dip in temperatures. I say to them- just wait. I guess it's hard for certain people to enjoy 60 degree weather when -20 is just around the corner. Peeps need to toughen up.
But for those of you dreaming of the warmer months, I found this still from fashion influential film La Piscine from 1969- starring Romy Schneider and her frosted lipstick and gorgeous tan, Alain Delon being fantastic in some short swim trunks, and the gorgeous Jane Birkin, all 700 feet of her. Those legs.
The film takes place in the South of France, and it's hard to not feel a bit of sunshine when looking at this incredible pic of Jane from the film. Even though it's getting colder, all it takes is a French film to inspire a little bit of heat. I just wish I was in a basket chair in the South of France...it's easy to see why this film influenced so many fashion designers- the simple silhouettes are remarkably timeless- I see Gucci, Max Mara, and any number of perfect classic pieces with that effortless sex appeal. Here's some more photos in case you don't know the film- so, so chic:
And that's what's up this visually oriented Monday on the island of Manhattan. Yours, in tan legs and sunshine. XO
