I've been a fan of René Gruau's fashion illustrations for years (he worked for Dior, Balmain, Balenciaga etc.), but this iconic poster of Audrey Hepburn - the work is called "L'imperméable moderne c'est BLIZZAND (Red Raincoat for Audrey Hepburn)" - is my very favourite. It's such a strong image with vibrant colours, and that red trench and the hat have such a fun mod vibe. I would love to have this in my home office!</p> <p><a href="http://urbankaleidoscope.com/2011/06/24/living-with-vintage-posters/" rel="nofollow">http://urbankaleidoscope.com/2.....e-posters/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-weekly-links-here-5#post-413686 Wed, 31 Aug 2011 09:58:35 +0000 SueFNQ 413686@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/lamarquisedesanges?ref=pr_shop_more" rel="nofollow">http://www.etsy.com/shop/lamar....._shop_more</a> In the climate I live in, tops like these are very useful. Yes, they are a t-shirt, but with style. A beautiful French lady, who lives in western France, embellishes these tops and is very sweet and divine, nothing is ever too much trouble. The stock that she uses are top quality fabric, style and manufacture. I have several that are not her stock colour, she was happy to go to her supplier and find other colours. My tops are all pretty much custom embellished (some with little tweaks of design). Treat them with respect and they do not go out of shape. I have bought several, no problems of delivery to Australia, (so the States will be a breeze, reasonable cost for the quality.

This company piques my interest because they sell frames online and you can get 5 shipped free to try on at home, the frames are mostly "Mad Men" type chunky vintage frames, they are only $95 each including lenses (more for high-density lenses though), and for every pair you buy, they donate a pair to needy people in developing countries. It seems like a very modern way of buying glasses that would appeal to people used to buying things online, a la Zappos. You can upload a photo and put "virtual frames" on them to try out, and post the pics on their Facebook page for feedback. I haven't tried them, but I might if I was in the market for a new pair.</p> <p>Here's a NY Times article about the company:<br /> <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2011/01/17/technology/17glasses.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.nytimes.com/2011/01.....asses.html</a></p> <p>I just tried the virtual try-on application and it's fun! Here are some examples: the Finn in Amber, the Langston in Amber, and the Nedwin in Amber and Summer Green. What do you think? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-weekly-links-here-5#post-413626 Wed, 31 Aug 2011 04:57:08 +0000 Angie 413626@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wonderful!

Second, I love these bell bottom jeans for petites! I recently returned a pair of 7FAM bell bottoms with a 36" hem. I wasn't afraid of the required hemming for my 5'4" self, it was the knee break that was all wrong in these, so I had to return them. These petite bells are now on my fall wish list!</p> <p>PS -- Taylor Davies who writes a lot of the posts on Jennine's blog is doing a great job. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-weekly-links-here-5#post-413441 Tue, 30 Aug 2011 22:16:43 +0000 Aida 413441@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A friend of mine sent me this over the weekend:<br /> <a href="http://www.bitrebels.com/design/colorful-origami-shoes-for-the-woman-who-has-everything/" rel="nofollow">http://www.bitrebels.com/desig.....verything/</a></p> <p>I adore how the paper origami shoes look, I'd love to wear such beautiful works of art! I found the "inspired by" versions a bit less appealing (because the strong triangle geometry isn't there), though certainly still cool. The last pair, made from a single leather piece, is quite amazing though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-weekly-links-here-5#post-413365 Tue, 30 Aug 2011 18:21:15 +0000 Angie 413365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super stuff! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-post-your-weekly-links-here-5#post-413361 Tue, 30 Aug 2011 18:10:28 +0000 modgrl 413361@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Diana, I love that outfit, the blogger is adorable, and I love her style.
