Favorites part two.

26. This is a bit of a mystery photo. I believe this lovely gent is a friend of a friend whose image I stumbled upon, but I must say it was the girl he is with who caught my eye. I love her take on the preppy masculine-feminine look as well as her crested blazer.

27. The Sartorialist. Among many other amiable qualities that the maker of this acclaimed fashion blog has, he has brought me closer to a man I admire most, Hamish Bowles, who is pictured above. Isn't he dashing in his purple Wellies? I quite love him.

28. Tweed Run. I discovered this British event in conjunction with learning about the magazine Chap. The Tweed Run happens in the summertime and hundreds upon hundreds gather in thick layers of their traditional costume to enjoy a nice recreational bike ride.

29. Cup of Jo. Joanna Goddard's blog was a main inspiration for me in the first months of this year and this is one of the photos she posted. I cannot remember who took it, but it's stunning, yes?

30. The Open Road. This is a snapshot from a 1926 documentary of scenes of the British Isles. The director Claude Friese-Greene took two years to make the film and used his own two colour additive process to the pieces of film. Some of the scenes are just breathtaking like this one in Kensington Gardens (personal favorite), and another with a London city street filled with gentlemen and lads (which reminds me a bit of a scene from A Single Man). Here is the first part, you should watch it.

31. The Selby. This is was one of my favorite photographs of a couple showcased recently on Mr. Selby's website. The man, Vladimir Kagan, is a furniture designer and his wife Erica Wilson is a master embroiderer. They blended their two talents and created this chair. It warms my heart.

32. Partners and Spade. If you have read previous posts, you know that I love the Spades, but this seals the deal for me. Andy curated a Valentine's exhibit called "Sorrow for Sale: curated remnants of relationships that went bust". This photo from the event was my personal favorite. It is the perfect representation of what I have seen of Mr. Spade's sense of humor. Love it.
