Long Time Love

Oh gosh I love Andre Benjamin. He's the coolest cat, with a smile that's miles wide - he's effervescent, he's a visionary, he owns his style, he's a zeitgeist, he's all sorts of awesome and I just have to love him.
I love these banana yellow pants. I am going to be a big cheesy fan and say, oh Andre - I salute you!

And Hey Ya - yeah I totes know it is an oldie, but it's a goodie. I can't tire of this song. It might even make cleaning the house bearable. Andre, can you do that?

Street Photographer: Vivien Maier

I saw this a few weeks ago and thought I should share it. A young real estate agent bought some old negatives at an auction and unwittingly stumbled upon an unknown street photographer with amazing talent. He did some research and discovered she was a nanny, who, on her days off, walked the streets of Chicago taking photos.

Now he's started a blog sharing her prolific body of work. Pretty awe-inspiring!

If you like The Sartorialist then you'll love this.

What I Love

Check out this short film about Scott Schuman of The Sartorialist fame. It's inspiring, and I love the behind-the-scenes feel of it. I like the insights he shares, and his view on fashion in the now.

I keep his book on my bedside table and I love flipping through it at night. No matter how many times I see an image, I seem to be able to see something new in it each time.

I took a hiatus from fashion when I had smalls. I didn't fit into my very much loved vintage pieces for a long time. Slowly I'm coming back. My wardrobe is being flipped on its head and I am enjoying fashion once more.

You Won't Be Sorry...

I am a big fan of The Sartorialist. Some of those outfits give me such inspiration, I've got a sort of computer-ified scrapbook that I've kept to give me some styling mojo when I need it.. But now there's The Sortorialist. And my goodness, it's funny.

On doctors advice:
visit The Sartorialist when you need a style injection.
visit The Sortorialist when you need a dose of funny.
