Chloe s/s 2011 via style.com. After loving the past few seasons of Chloe...and now this...I am a loyal fan forever of Hannah MacGibbon. The color palette, the flow, the femininity, the materials, and the ballet slippers are devine - so close to the ground just as I like.

"It's funny. All you have to do is say something nobody understands and they'll do practically anything you want them to." - J.D. Salinger in The Catcher in the Rye

Today we lost one of the greatest and most important writers of the 20th century. J.D. will be missed.

I try hard to post photos that I have saved with credits, but my desire to credit appropriately leaves some amazing photos out of this blog and only to be enjoyed by my eyes (a sad, sad thing)...so I wanted to do a post of many "unknowns." Enjoy.

Also, I am currently reading Hemingway's The Old Man and the Sea (1952). It's a wonderful book so far, and just last night I came across a beautiful quote. Here it is:

"...as though the ocean were making love with something under a yellow blanket..." Only Hemingway. Beautiful.
