I’m touching on the lavender (and the field where she landed in Ireland) with Hermès Brin de Réglisse. Reminder: on 7/24, celebrate Amelia Earhart’s birthday... Read the rest of this article »

Oxford Street has seen plenty of spectacles. This month it got a gelato cart outside Selfridges with Bottega Veneta‘s name on it, and within hours the videos had escaped London entirely. The concept is the kind of thing that sounds absurd until you taste it.

You eat the fragrance, then you decide whether to wear it. — Read more in Bottega Veneta’s New Fragrance Collection Has Just Been Turned Into Perfumes at Grazia.

It’s Hump Day, National Mango Day and National Hammock Day. Birthdays: Edward Hopper, Alexander Calder, Tom Robbins, Oscar de la Renta, S. E. Hinton. What fragrance are you wearing? One of the ways Amelia Earhart financed her flying career was with a short-lived fashion line, sold at Macy’s and other department stores. The clothes were mostly separates meant for “active living”, and I’m linking that to Donna Karan’s early fashion line (“Seven Easy Pieces”) by wearing a dab (no more, it’s July after all) of Donna Karan Black Cashmere.
