Cocktail Rings

I don't tend to wear cocktail rings much, but I have been seeing a few lately that are really special.

Miscellany

Calvin Klein, Diane von Furstenburg, and Jane Wenner

Vogue Italy, October 1991

Angela Lindvall in Prada, Fall 1999.

You see those boots she is wearing? I have those. I wish you could see the details, because they're kind of crazy: they are forest green with brown and aqua patent leather leaves and acorns all over them. They were my pride and joy for some time.

I haven't worn them in years because the heel has an early 2000's geometric shape to it, and I'm not feeling that style quite yet.

Richard Gere

Liberty Ross in Etro, Spring 2002

Diane von Furstenburg, Fall 2011

I visited the Soho location of DVF the other day, and I found that I kind of want to have everything in there. I plucked some of my favorites from their online shop.

From the Metallics collection (left to right)

Pauletta Embellished Dress 

I love long-sleeve evening wear for cold weather. It's practical but it's also unusual and cool.

Edna Top and Long Georginne Zip Pant

Those pants are so cute. I love the slim cut, and would like to have another pair in plain black too.

Kiandra Dress

These colors are perfect, and I imagine the most glamorous person of the disco era wears this outfit. I want to be her. This dress fits into a trend I'm starting to see more often: disco-chinoiserie, which I also referenced in Dries van Noten's Spring 2011 collection.

On all: Indigo Heel

Printed Collection (Left to Right)

Julius Dress

(lets just ignore the boots for today)

Ingrid Dress and Harper Large Daybag

Look, another practical long sleeve dress, in a color palette I love. I also would like to ignore these boots too. They are a little too clunky for my liking.

Emsley Dress, Emerald Pant, and Fern Heel

I like the funny pairing of patterns

Solid Collection (Left to Right):

Florane Dress

Edna Dress

Squaretan Dress and Peppe Hat

Ok, cute dress, but HELLO HAT! We NEED to be friends! 

Miscellaneous

Diane Von Furstenburg. So glamorous.

I believe that she's pictured here with Egon Von Furstenburg, but not sure who the guy on the left is.

"Colour Pencils" by Jonna Pohjalainen, 2006. See details here.

One of my favorite photographs. It was in a book that I knew as a kid. I loved looking at her stockings and those feathered rocking chairs on her table.

The photo is by Ernest Bellocq, who was a professional portrait photographer in New Orleans. When he died, his more personal/private work was discovered, which were photos of prostitutes who worked and lived in the red-light district known as "Storyville."

Here is more info about his life and about Storyville and here is more about his work.
