Inspiration

Over the weekend, the new "How to Spend It" arrived in the Financial Times. The front cover of the monthly glossy was a chic photograph by Carl Bengtsson and styled by Damian Foxe. A woman in wide leg trousers, cut-out blouse and silk scarf hat stepping high in white oxford heels. The picture is lovely, and the styling, impecible, but then you open to the series of photos inside and you find 6 more inspirational pages of color, grandeur and force. Two of my favorites are below. Enjoy!
