Favorites part five.

As for number 1 you will just have to wait until my first post of the new year! Don't worry though, it is definitely worth the one day wait. Have a happy new year everyone!

2. Cecil Beaton. This photograph is one of my all time favorites ever taken. Even though it's black and white it doesn't loose any of it's flavor and it retains its sparkle after nearly 100 years after it was taken. Still so fresh and packed with potency. I love Cecil and I am so thankful he decided to photograph Lady Beaton in this way.

3. The only thing I know about this man is that his name is Miles Johnson. After I saw this image, I was so overwhelmed by the loads of textures and patterns that I never got around to reading the article about him. Such a shame. Mini new year's resolution perhaps?

4. Sea of Shoes. These are the parents of Jane Aldridge. Aren't they so chic? Just because of her mom's outfit I have started to wear my collared shirts buttoned all the way up with jewelry or neckware. I hope to be a part of a pair like this when I grow up!

5. The Sartorialist. This couple is so inspiring. They are so wonderful looking together. This image was the straw that broke the camel's back causing me to finally get those delicious L.L. Bean boots the girl is wearing (mine are in navy). It definitely encourages me that there are modern couples in the world that live in the city while maintaining a carefree persona and their sense of style.

6. Jody Rogac. This picture entranced me for at least a month and a half. It's just so rich looking with the colors and the lighting and this is another image I just want to hop into.

7. The Selby. I love this shot of Andy Spade. He is so perfectly dapper in his MaCallister boots and his tan velvet jacket. I think by the site of it he and Wes Anderson would be very good style buddies.

8. The Carswells. This couple went to my high school and after years of being together they got married this year. Their entire wedding album is absolutely to die for and this image I particularly love. The way it was composed it looks like a modern version of a rococo painting. Ravishing!

9. Katie Did. This dress and the lady who made it amaze me. Everything Katie has done and has made for her children is well thought out and absolutely beautiful. I want a dress like this in my size!
