Yves goes to Russia
Yves Saint Laurent’s Russian collection from 1976 is so dreamy.
Tally ho
Love the masculine/feminine play of this Edward Steichen shot from 1927. This was the equivalent of a sportswear article back in the day…
Martina Mondadori
Still loving these colours, patterns, mixes from the Evening Standard feature of Martina Mondadori recently.
Print it, hang it
I’ve banged on enough times here before about how easy it is to have things on the walls of your house – postcards, photocopies, bits of music – but I really love how House and Garden UK is now getting on the bandwagon with downloadable, printable artwork. This set is quirky and understated, although I also loooooove the wallpaper.
Hotel ritz, Lisbon
What a staircase! Mind you, the rest isn’t bad…

A petal unfolds
Love, love, love the paper flowers made by @apetalunfolds. Even more beautiful than these.
Gorgeous
How luxurious are these fantastically vampish sketches by Helleu?
This is absolutely the ideal of beauty between 1900 and 1914 and I feel I could seriously get behind it…

The art of an interview
That’s when I would find out that yes, they did get their PhD in physics, back when women were barely allowed in college, and as a matter of fact, it was them who single-handedly oversaw the Capitol renovation, and technically they do they an individual birthday party for every single person in the city every year, but they have so much help, you know? Besides, everybody loves a birthday, and it’s just no trouble at all to throw one.
Inspiring tales from Kelly Williams Brown, who’s also written a long-form essay on the rodeo queens (even harder work than the beauty queen circuit), and a spot-on spoof of House of Cards.
I like these women best though – this is how my school raised us to be.
Shirt women, take 2
If you’re new to stumbling across these posts (welcome!), you may not know of my longing to be a shirt woman.
This was re-ignited by seeing Ann + Elizabeth on Friday; they are definitely shirt women.
Luckily here comes Maison Lebiche to the rescue, with their delicate embroidery as secret code on sweatshirts and collars. Images from the MB Instagram account.
