Retro Looks in the Modern World: A Family Portrait

As much as the modern fashion world looks forward it also continually looks back in time.
Here we explore Retro Looks in the Modern World.

I love this spread from the August issue of Vogue Italia. With a 60's influence, the roles with this Mother/ Daughter duo are reversed in a very stylish way!

My View: Fleur De Lis

My new favorite Brunch cocktail is the Fleur de Lis. My Husband and I enjoy making a special breakfast at home every Sunday and we've added these cocktails to our menu. Inspired from one I had in New Orleans. 

1 Part Grand Marnier
2 Parts Lillet Blanc
Top with Champagne, or in this case Sparkling Rose, and a lemon twist. 
Delicious!

Vogue magazine loves to pair model Natalia Vodianova with a handsome actor in a retro setting for their editorials. They always come out beautiful, so I am not complaining. This time she is with actor Sam Riley in Brighton Beach for this 60's MOD inspired transition into fall.

My View: New Orleans

My husband and I just returned from our honeymoon in New Orleans. We completely fell in love with this beautiful city! Here are a few images from our trip. 

 Festive Shotgun houses.

 Beignets. Just like Memere used to make.

 St. Louis Cathedral. 

 Love the houses and architecture here. 

Typical New Orleans cemetery in The Garden District. 

Street musicians. 

I can't wait to go back! Check out my flickr stream for more shots of this lovely city.
