I've been thinking 'bout you lately

New York, I love you.

It turns out.

Some things are meant to be.

L'Homme: Racquets down best dressed

via Huffington Post

Bradley Cooper and Gerard Butler were hands down the best dressed men of the Wimbeldon, obviously.  Butler just barely eeks out Cooper.  That blue linen jacket with a smidgen of pocket square?  Next to godly.

Chelsea, killing it.

Lisa Ho - I said no, no, no

The fashion label of our (unnecessary spending) youth is closing down.  While I've certainly seen a drop in quality and innovative design over the last few years, it's a sad day.  I fondly recall shopping for Bin's bridesmaid dresses here and the purchase of my gorgeous Galaxy print white lined jacket (which will remain a staple for years to come).  Luckily, to commiserate - there is a fire sale.  So get to a store and check out some of the (huge) discounts.

Hiatus: good for the soul

Devour Beauty has been on a bit of a hiatus thanks to many a life change of late. But rest assured we'll be back in business slowly but surely and now as a New York correspondent!

DB's big time girlcrush, Zoe Saldana has been a bit quiet on the fashion front of late, but she really stepped it up at the Star Trek promos this week in Calvin Klein Fall 2013.  Divine.

You know how I love a man in good threads.  Today's gorgeous Paddington find is no exception - indulging in this gorgeous Sydney Autumn sun, Helicious and I stumbled across Australian men's label WoodyRoo - a refined, slim cut men's label that I want to dress every man I know in.  I love a sharp line, a bit of college prep, a gentleman's fit.  I'm dying for the olive chinos.  So if you like a bit of Thom Browne, or you love your man looking like a bit of Goss(ling) go like WoodyRoo on Facebook.

Devour Beauty's tune of the week: Retrograde by James Blake. Boy is talent.  Obsessed with his voice.

Let's talk about how much I want this.

Reflections: Anish Kapoor

Anish Kapoor, Museum of Contemporary Art

 

“The world is a looking-glass, and gives back to every man the reflection of his own face. Frown at it, and it will in turn look sourly upon you; laugh at it and with it, and it is a jolly kind companion; and so let all young persons take their choice.” 

- William Makepeace Thackeray

 

Sharp, bright lines

 

LG, rocking a burst of pink.

Glorious Sydney (post) summer sun, silhouetting.  Reminds me of a Beatrice Coron paper cutting.

One of those days

"Don’t plant your bad days. They grow into weeks. The weeks grow into months. Before you know it, you got yourself a bad year. Take it from me - choke those little bad days. Choke ‘em down to nothing."
