I can’t belieeeeeve it’s October! You know, that means Hallowe’en is just around the corner (fabulous!), followed by Christmas (scream!). Seriously, I am starting to do that thing you do when you get old, which is where you constantly exclaim, “WHERE did the YEAR go?!” & then roll your eyes around in your skull for emphasis. Okay, anyway… links! & lots of them!

The Divine Mrs. V is a piece on Diana Vreeland (my hero!) in New York Magazine.

“”For years I am and always have been looking out for girls to idealize because they are things to look up to, because they are perfect,” she wrote in her diary. But since she had never discovered “that girl or that woman,” she announced, “I shall be that girl.””
