Happy Places III





















Another quick trip
around the heavenly cottage
[see happy places one]:


these are just snapshots, &
taken spur of the moment;
simple & by the lake, the cottage is a
most wondrous space, the creation of
an exceedingly talented designer. For
more of his magnificent work,
go to red|bar.

Ralph Lauren at the Olympics: It Doesn't Get More Gatsby Than This








Watching the Closing Ceremonies of the Beijing Olympics. Goodness.


F. Scott Fitzgerald, for better or for worse, captured the spirit of a new America...Ralph has perfectly defined the sportswear.

Jay Gatsby is somewhere, smiling broadly, wishing he could've stayed around long enough to suit up in these whites.

Looking at the athletes as they walk past the camera, you can smell the Sands Point lawn, and feel an Indian Summer breeze, almost, floating sweetly off the Atlantic...
