Rainy Day Chic

I've been neglecting this blog for months now and can't believe that my last post here was in March!  I'm now settled in D.C. and love being back on the East coast.  Right now we are all hunkering down for Hurricane Irene and the first bands of rain are rolling into the city.   Enjoy some images of those who fashionably take on the rain.  Everyone stay safe!

The 70's are definitely making a comeback for spring!  I love this decade and am especially excited that we are returning to a wider pant-leg.  I am so sick of the skinny jeans!  Here are some images taken from and inspired by that decade.

Jerry Hall and Mick Jagger.

A 1970's photograph by David Bailey.  Even though it's black and white, can you tell who the subject is?  Grace Coddington!  There is a great documentary on David BAiley that has been playing on the Sundance Channel that you should try to catch.  I never knew he romanced Jean Shrimpton and married Catherine Deneuve!

Kennedy Style.

After watching the SAG Awards last night I turned to TLC to watch Kennedy Home Movies, two hours of just that, a compilation of Kennedy movies from when JFK was a child to after Jackie married Aristotle.  I was so fasciated I watched it twice!  I came away so inspired by the innate style of the Kennedy clan that I wanted to post some of my favorite photos of the Kennedy/Bouvier women Jackie, Carolyn, and Lee.  

The first lady learning to do the twist with Oleg Cassini in her sister Lee's London home.
