On the daily

I came in this morning to my brand new copy of photographer Lu Davis' book: On The Daily.


On The Daily started as a project: Lu posted a photo to her tumblr site every day for a year.  It's a remarkable accomplishment, and the group of photos seen together are a transporting window into her life, vision, grace, beauty, and raw point of view.

I encourage you to get a copy for yourself, or at the very least, spend a quiet moment with the blog.  Lu exemplifies fashion as a part of life, it's not put on so much as a true expression of how she lives.

In her work I find both strength and encouragement, compassion and understanding in what womanhood looks like today, right now.

Today...


Is it possible to fall in love with a shirt? 'Cause this new button down from Hartford has stolen my heart*:


It brings to mind Marilyn on the beach, which sounds just about perfect in every way today.  Or, possibly, just the effortless chic of this shirt with black skinny jeans- which is how I'd wear it.



Other noteworthy lovelies in the store right now:
The simple perfection of Alex Lehr's pima cotton tank tops, the one-of-a-kind splendor of 100% wool hand loomed Bolivian frasadas, Auntie Oti's delicate Indian textiles, Only Hearts organic cotton undies, and a slew of perfectly punk belts from California's Calleen Cordero.


I'm notoriously fickle- any one of the above, and probably a combination of a few could have my heart tomorrow.

*I apologize for the vapidity of this statement- but it's ok to get obsessed with inanimate objects every now and then. Really, it is.
