Ties, Thrifting and Talley

I'm beginning to think that creating this blog is blessing me. Today was great.
I got two beautiful silk ties. One is a beautiful blue and red paisley, the other one is a beautiful brown with creamy cream polka dots, both $ .25 each. In some ways living in a tiny town is nice, the thrift stores are so cheap! Ties are $ .25 each and so are belts at one of the stores that I visit regularly (I've found beautiful Yves Saint Laurent, Oscar de la Renta Couture and other brand ties at this store)! I'm going to take two dollars tomorrow and see what kind of treasures I can find. I might walk out with eight ties, or eight belts, or four ties and four belts.

I was happy to read in the November issue of Vogue (which I am very happy with,) that Oscar de la Renta will be having an exhibit showcasing some of his most iconic and beautiful works at the Bill Clinton Library in the month of November. I have to go. I must, I must, I must! I'll find a way to get there. I'll wear my Oscar de la Renta Couture floral tie. The works were curated by André Leon Talley, one of my favorite fashion editors. Oscar's work has always been so beautiful to me. There never really is a collection that he creates that I dislike. He has a exquisite kind of timelessness to his work that I think everyone is drawn to.



Who else is excited for Grace Coddington's memoir? FINALLY she gets the recognition she deserves. Which reminds me, I need to pre-order it. I want to start reading it the first day I get it! Grace is an amazing stylist, the best in the world, "the greatest living stylist." I cant wait to dive into her life. She always has been one of my favorite people in the entire fashion industry.
