Classic visions of Stripes

 I've been saving part of these images that I found here for ever.  Most of these photographs were taken by Henry Clarke around the 60's and I love that there were a lot of classic ladies wearing striped outfits.  Henry Clarke was an American fashion photographer who after meeting Celil Beaton at Vogue, became enchanted by the magic of photography, moved to Paris and soon started working for Harper's Bazaar and Vogue.  Ada from Classiq recently made a great post about him. Check it out.  These images are just so inspiring and admirable to look at, especially now-a-days when there is so much obnoxious celebrity shows going on.  Sometimes I get to ask myself how did we go from there to now?

 

This vision of these models overlooking the ocean in Palermo is what I really want for my summer.  More please. 

This photograph of Susan Murray also by Henry Clarke 1966 reminds me of the Whirling Dervishes in Turkey.

 

All photographs above are by Henry Clarke.

Are You a Jackie or a Marilyn?: Timeless Lessons on Love, Power, and Style

Uhm... Interesting... before I watched this video of Pamela Keogh, the author of the book "Are you a Jackie or a Marilyn?: Timeless Lessons on Love, Power, and Style,” I would have sworn that I would be more like Jackie, but then after listening to her, she kind of almost convinced me of being both. Not sure if I'll be able though, but wouldn't that be fun? Classy and stylishly a lady but at the same time have a lot of fun like Marilyn did. How about you? Are you a Jackie or a Marilyn?

Animal Prints by Mark Shaw

for the August 13, 1956 issue of LIFE.

My hubby and I always talk about getting a dog for Lucas once/if we agree on the right age for him to start living with one. What kind will it be? So when I went into Mark Shaw's website and saw his new limited edition Animal Prints I was delighted. Mark Shaw is the celebrated fashion photographer from the 1950's. He is best known for his photographs of Jackie and John F. Kennedy, which he shot originally for LIFE magazine and then became a close friend of the famous couple. Mark Shaw worked for LIFE magazine for 16 years shooting covers and more than 100 stories. He also worked for Harper's Bazaar, Mademoiselle and a number of other publications. He photographed some of the most prominent and glamorous celebrities, among them Pablo Picasso, Grace Kelly, Brigitte Bardot, Coco Chanel and Audrey Hepburn. Hepburn's photographs culminated into a book called Charmed by Audrey published last year. Animal Prints is a special collection of animal photographs with their celebrity owners. I love how in the website below each photograph there is a description of each dog. The English Springer Spaniel, my all times favorite dog, is described as "the founder of all English Hunting Spaniels, is favored for work close to the handler and under the gun and is used to flush out and spring on game. The English Springer Spaniel's excellent work with the hunter in the field leads to its sweet disposition. Springer Spaniels are excellent family dogs and infinitely companionable." I think in this house, we have a winner.

Jackie's well known love for horses once again is displayed in
