All That Jazz

I’m into Jazz. Not Carrie Mathison into Jazz, but I dig it. And it’s a known fact that Jazz album covers are the best around. I submit the following as proof of my argument. They don’t make ‘em like they used to. All covers found here. ______________________________________________________________________

Kennedy Wedding

I've always loved these images of Jackie and John F. Kennedy on their wedding day...they look so young and full of hope. They had 10 bridesmaids, over 600 guests and pineapple salads.

2011 - Year in Review

Wow. Hard to believe it's over, but 2011 was a great year, here’s a recap of what went down:



January
Kicked off the New Year (while recovering from food poisoning – ugh!!) in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. (You can't tell from this photo, but for a time, I was completely miserable during this trip...)



February
Took an annual ski trip to Europe and visited Megeve, France, Verbier and Zermatt in Switzerland. Ate my fill of cheese and chocolate. Hung with some seriously cool pups.





March
Enjoyed time with friends and family at home in New York. (karaoke-ed like there was no tomorrow.)



April
Celebrated our 6 year anniversary (and my birthday!!) in Barcelona. An amazing trip filled with cava, futbol and as much jamon as we could get our hands on.



May
Traveled with the British Virgin Islands to celebrate a friends wedding, and ending up staying awhile for some R&R. Never wanted to leave Little Dix Bay.



June
Spent a lovely and restful weekend in Vermont.



July
Traveled to Carmel, California for another wedding (love it when friends get married in beautiful places!!) and road tripped to Pismo Beach along the Pacific Coast Highway.



August
Enjoyed the last bits of summer with weekends in Sag Harbor, Saratoga and at home in NYC.





September
Toasted at my best friend’s country garden wedding in Virginia.



October
Danced the night away at an elegant wedding for a dear friend in New York City.



November
Celebrated a birthday in San Francisco, noshed on BBQ oysters in Northern Cali and rested in Half Moon Bay.



December
Celebrated Christmas early in NYC with friends and then later in Charlotte with loved ones.

So, that was my 2011 in a nutshell. Hope you had an amazing year, too! Here's looking forward to an amazing 2012!

NYC - Vintage Style

These photographs make me love New York City even more than I already do. See more here.

miss guiness

I love this image of 1960's gal-about-town Gloria Guiness. In a 1966 Harper's Bazaar interview, when asked if she always wore men's navy and black tops during vacations, she answered, "Yes - is that wrong?". Here she is in all her glory in Acapulco, Mexico.

good as goldie

I love this fun image of Goldie Hawn from the 60's. She's a hoot.

subway snaps

This photo essay was featured in the sunday times last weekend. As a New Yawker, the subway is a part of daily life and it's amazing to see it captured throughout time. These are some of my favorites, but check out more amazing photos here.

marilyn vacays

These rare photos of Marilyn on vacation are lovely. How funny is she with crutches and a bikini by the pool? Only you Marilyn, only you!!

These rare photos are available for purchase in book form here. Great gift!
