Favorite looks from Alexander McQueen's final collection.  I am always inspired by McQueen's ability to traverse seeming paradoxes so elegantly: novel and traditional, alien and earthy, androgynous and classically feminine, bombastic and delicate.  And then, of course, there was our mutual affection for tartan.  

Sigh... Lee Alexander, you will be sorely missed.

British painter Annie Kevans (whom I've mentioned before) has a show at Perry Rubenstein featuring work from her All The Presidents' Girls series: portraits of US Presidents' alleged mistresses and illegitimate children rendered gesturally in diluted oils.  Her subjects range from the iconic to the nearly anonymous, but all are imbued with a diaphanous vulnerability.  They are the casualties of power.

These shorts are so cool.

Generally speaking, I am not fond of animals without faces.  But I can't stop looking at Jamie's jellyfish photos.

I'd like to get a vintage wire hamper for storing blankets and linens.  The above is a reproduction from Pottery Barn, but I've seen several originals for sale on ebay.  I like things with wheels!
