An exciting day here in Spinach HQ!

Thursday, April 09, 2009


Permit me to tell a tiny tale. One year and one month ago, I got a really nice note from a reader named Genevieve. It was full of unexpected compliments and stuff, and also directed me to Lagarconne.com, which at the time featured a mood board with the picture above. Did I know what it was?, she asked politely.

I did not. But I became obsessed. I even e-mailed the Lagarconne.com writer (who was nice and actually responded, but didn't know). I googled relentlessly. I gave up.

And then today! I was flipping through Laird Borelli-Persson's newest book, The Cocktail Dress (which is fab, and I'm not just saying that because I once got to hang out with Laird for a week at India fashion week and thought she was super-cool), and there it was. My picture!

And so, the answer, ladies and gentlemen: It's a photo called "Girls in the Windows" by Ormond Gigli. The backstory is here. I am smitten all over again.

I love it when people have a vision and take advantage of the situation! The photo is gorgeous! I wish I had it for my room!

That is one long obsession. A girl after my own heart! I never let a thread unravel too far.

Im 18 years old and as a struggling student who enjoys racing UGG Boots ultra short Le its becoming extremely expensive and harder to attend and enjoy a days racing. Sure a student with a part time UGGS upside job would have to save for a few weeks to consider attending a raceday as expensive as this. I see that Fairyhouse are racing on the 19th of this month and are charging UGGS whitely boots 5e entry fee. Its up to other tracks to follow suit and use some initiative to offer better value to the normal racegoer….Pretty good air jordan post. I just found your site and wanted to say that I have really enjoyed browsing your Bailey Button UGG Boots posts. In any case I’ll be subscribing to your blog and I hope you nike sb post again soon!
