The other day I spent the afternoon with my face buried in Grace Coddington's memoir, enjoying her descriptions of 70s style in London and Paris.

But what I really didn't know was that ranunculus were hugely popular during the era. Just as they are now. Depending on what region you live in, fall is a great time to plant these flowers. Herewith, a little inspiration:

I love that quote from Diana Vreeland when she urged her models to show 'A little more languor in the lips.':) Not sure how I am going to use that phrase in an everyday office conversation, though...
Emile, I think you should try to work it in over at the NT. Maybe with the conservators.
I was disappointed with the book and did not finish it. Realized I appreciate Grace's work in Vogue and her attitude in the movie more than her words!
