Images mostly from Time/Life photo archives-Woodstock, then flickr, Irving Penn,some amazing Czech photographer i forgot to bookmark *in no particular order of course...The girl w/flower garland headband is actually c.1996/czech youth pilgrimage thing. Gorgeous.

Time traveling...

Early morning reading:
Popular Mechanics c.1917 via google books.

Highlights include: how-to for 2nd bike seat (pictured), (Jul 1917)
and a wealth of amazing pre-1920's adverts.
Bonus points for imagery and verbiage!  SOFA KING GOOD!

Just an interloper in this decade...

Summer makes me sweat patchwork so hard.

Words...

...happened upon the work of Nathan Coley just recently...
I have a serious Ed Ruscha fascination... to which nothing compares
however this is definitely a temporary fix.

Find myself gravitating to the lit up words most of all, but generally a solid portfolio.

currently listening to:Lilys - Precollection

Wanderlusting...

Thinking of planning a trip to Paris. Clignancourt specifically,
though possibly being lured by soldes as well.
Long weekender... Not long enough to jet lag,
and short enough to never run out of things to do...

Exile

Have been hearing the buzz on this for a while now. 

Watched the first half/first part/something like that (?) of it 
on Jimmy Fallon last night.Looks to be quite amazing... 
for music appreciation, and just imagery, styling...so much. 

And Anita Fucking Pallenberg??? A prego and 
radiant Bianca Jagger??? Not to mention a gorgeous but i mean
seriously gorgeous backdrop of well,the fucking South of France...
i mean really.

Mind= blown.

The release date - 5/22. Hang in thurr.

In the meantime, happy Saturday, Lovelies.

**1st pic down, dontcha think Carey Mulligan can play a
young Anita in her imaginary biopic? Just sayin'...

Denim Crimes... Never Forget.

Seen a lot of double denim (and triple denim, etc. etc.)... can't bring myself to do it.
That's a personal choice, of course... but people lest we forget...

Gypsy...

waiting for a book i ordered... Gypset Style
it's taking an eternity to get to me.
In the meantime trawling the interwebs for images of my alltime favorite gypsy...
the woman is so boss.

it's frickin freezing over here....

 ...recent cold front has me thinking 'bout early beach season...
thinking more about beach sweaters to be precise...
dunno when i'll make it out LI-ways... but hopefully soon.
