The Cream TOM FORD. Need I say more? OK, this is old and well-covered news, but I couldn’t help myself. I blame B at Beautifully Invisible, who clearly shares my Tom Ford obsession. Her post, Whatever Wednesday: Tom Ford 2011, Burberry Bespoke and Boutiques.com, had me scrambling for the December 2010 issue of U.S. Vogue [...]

What happens when you combine riding in a big ol’ pickup truck, drinking beer around a fire pit, shooting guns, lake walking, furry boots, gorgeous autumn weather, and second row at The Cult? You get happy V, because that is a perfect weekend. This was my view Saturday night. Only I was one person back [...]
