Greetings indeed! Picked these up recently at the D.C. Big Flea - something about the colors and letters and the weight of the stock, and check out those wheels in front of the Corcoran! I just love a good old post card, and these two are among my favorites.

"The personality of a house is indefinable, but there never lived a lady of great cultivation and charm whose home, whether a palace, a farm-cottage or a tiny apartment, did not reflect the charm of its owner."
Emily Post, Etiquette, 1922

No words for these sentences (Vogue, November 2009). Have I mentioned how much I love fall? Wishing you all many excuses to wear tartans and high leather boots this weekend! And maybe perhaps a wry fellow, too, to admire your woolens. XOXO, Natalie

I was equal parts thrilled and disappointed when I ran across trove after trove of antique shop last week in California. Thrilled because, well, duh. But disappointed when I was forced to admit that there’s no way Southwest’s letting me on the plane home with, say, that big faux horn. So you can imagine my delight when I saw Jackie peeking up at me from a stack of old Life magazines. God bless her, she fit right flat into the front zip pocket on my suitcase. Next up – frames, for both the cover and that classic Galella shot, my all time favorite.

How awesome are these classic menswear inspired paintings, by Sergey Nielsen for Close Up and Private? I just love the colors, and that gestural approach where the artist's hand is so apparent. The whole Close Up and Private project, fyi - "dedicated to the visual language of style, celebrating classic details and contemporary looks through unique photographic documentary" - is quite something. Totally worth checking out.
