Bonjour

I've got a bullet in my pocket...


The Dead Weather made their (public) Nashville debut at War Memorial last night. It was nothing less than spectacular. But then again you shouldn't expect anything less from Jack White and Co. (whoever the company is at this point.)


Don't mind the dust


My friend David did a post on this great NYT article on modern antiquarians. I've liked this taxidermy heavy style for a while. It's definitely the more masculine side of my decor style.

1940's Fashion - Waves - Women in the US Navy






Waves [ Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service ] added a real touch of glamour
to the navy during the second world war with the help of Fashion label Mainbocher and the beautiful recruitment posters designed by illustrator John Falter.and McClelland Barclay.

"Throughout the nation, recruiting posters were placed in countless prominent public locations. One might see Falter's and Barclay's designs several times throughout the day during 1943. The Navy often reused the same designs for multiple formats with differing text. Posters hung in post offices, libraries, grocery and department stores, on billboards and even in public restrooms. Car cards, or smaller rectangular posters, were mounted in subway cars by transit authorities in major metropolitan areas. Window cards were displayed in the storefronts of businesses."

Time is on my side

The Cut did a great post on Cartier watches here.


I forgot how much I love this watch. What a classic piece.

If I lived in a city where I walked a lot I would definitely invest in one of these packable rain jackets.


Such a chic look that can be easily stowed away. I shutter to think about getting stuck at a football game and being forced to wear a poncho. Everyone looks like a walrus in a rain poncho, even if you think you don't, you do. If you had one of these you'd never see a poncho again.


They also carry these water resistant trenches that are equally as attractive yet can't be packed away.


It's been such a rainy summer here in Nashville I'm always thinking about shoes and outerwear. Because even if it's raining and windy and your hair looks like a frizz ball, you still have a cute jacket on.
