Most Wanted: Brazilian Style

Bikinis and beaches. Carnival and caipirinhas. What's not to love about Brazil? For anyone who needs convincing, take a look at Assouline's latest gorgeous tome. Named simply Brazilian Style, it's a beautiful book filled with photographs of all things Brazil taken by W magazine editor Armand Limnader. Yes, Gisele is featured (it would be almost sacrosanct for her not to be), but so are the lesser known gems of the country. Yet another book to add to my growing wish list...

Beauty in Black and White

Call it stalkerish, but I could never get tired of looking at old photos of Jackie Kennedy. The following images capture a more candid side of the icon than her more formal photographs and I love them for their simplicity and elegance. Enjoy!

'Tis The Season

It's December 1st! Which means holiday cheer is finally out in the open. Christmas music blaring, hot chocolate brewing, and holiday-themed posts are officially allowed and I couldn't be more excited (can you tell?)
