I am at the beach, wiggling my toes in the sand and eating way too many salty french fries soaked in vinegar and enjoying June. I'll be back tomorrow.
In the meantime, I was sad to read the news of the death of Yves Saint Laurent, one of the iconic designers I absolutely idolize and admire. (I mean, oh! That bow!) If you've never read Alicia Drake's excellent book, The Beautiful Fall, now would be a fitting time. It's a deeply detailed book of Saint Laurent's incredible career (along with that of his contemporary, Mr. Lagerfeld himself), from his rapid rise in fashion to the demons of depression he battled his entire life. It's one of the few books that made me feel incredibly connected to and moved by fashion – not to mention it's also wildly entertaining. I'll probably start to read it again when I am home tonight.
Off to put on my bathing suit…
