Sometimes I get obsessed with a photo. Remember this letter? And I then stare at it. And I come back to it. Over. And Over. And it becomes the launchpad of a maniacal list of ideas in iPhone Notes (some not so good…some newsletter worthy!) Today is one of those days. This picture of Harrison Ford at Hotel du Cap - aka the crown jewel of the French Rivera - in the 1980s is just too delicious. It’s not a new photo of course - heck Jacob wrote about it during our time at WSJ Off Duty, but it’s hitting for me, once again, right this second. So we will dissect.

The slight element of sport. The grace of the fabrics. The leather, closed toe shoe at the beach (this alone has me cooking up another newsletter on editing our shoe closets…for another day!) The SINGULAR color story!

That’s where my mind exploded. Summer can be filled with long planned vacations that we’ve been dreaming up wardrobes for for months…that then sneak up on us and…OMG what am I going to wear? Maybe you’ve (I’ve) been trying out fun prints and wild swim (the Versace is definitely coming with me, no matter what!) but we also want to save mental space to enjoy our time and physical space to shop at our destinations.
