I was just thinking as I read Heather’s lovely post about the upcoming AERIN line (so exciting!) how much I admire Aerin Lauder (granddaughter of cosmetic icon Estée). She always appears so polished and effortlessly chic — the epitome of class and grace. I consider her a great role model for young women like myself interested in business, beauty, and fashion. Judging by her success in the industry and general high regard she’s clearly quite savvy at all three. Which creative business women do you admire?

I was interviewed yesterday by one of my favorite magazines/blogs (can’t wait to share it with you!) and answered Sofia Coppola when asked about a current style icon. While I love to look at frilly, girlish things my personal wardrobe is far more tailored and neutral than one might imagine. More specifically, I find these shots from Sofia’s campaign with Louis Vuitton to be the epitome of chic.
I want to know, who is your current style icon? Gush away, it will make for great Matchbook research : )

Yesterday I came home to the most beautiful gift in the mail. The darling Heather Clawson of Habitually Chic had sent me the book above, Dreaming in French by Megan McAndrew. I’ve only read the first twenty-or-so pages and find myself utterly enthralled! The novel tells the story of a “superficially glamorous” expatriate family in late 1970s Paris. The mother is this fantastically eccentric, stylish character from Kentucky and I’ve already grown to love her. I can’t wait for the weekend to begin so I can curl up and read the rest! As a petit homage to Heather’s thoughtful gift I thought I’d share some of my favorite Avedon photographs of Paris…
Thank you Heather and bon weekend my sweet Neo-Trads!
