Diana Vreeland: The Eye Has to Travel

"There's only one very good life and that's the life you know you want and you make it yourself." - Diana Vreeland

Last month I saw an AMAZING documentary called "Diana Vreeland: The Eye Has to Travel" which chronicles the life of the fascinating Mrs. Vreeland better known as the "Empress of Fashion." She was a fashion editor at Harper's Bazaar (1936-1962), editor in chief of Vogue (1962-1971) and she single-handedly revolutionized the Metropolitan Museum's Costume Institute (1971-1989).

This women was the epitome of the word boss and this documentary gave me life. A MUST SEE!

The Black Keys should be proud

I love a great cover. Some of my faves include, Aretha Franklin's version of The Beatles "Let it Be", Amy Winehouse's version of Sam Cooke's "Cupid" and The Black Key's version of Buddy Holly's "Dearest."

And speaking of The Black Keys, thanks to the lovely Kylie Auldist I'll be adding her version of their song "Howlin' For You" to that list.

"It's Showtime, Folks!"

So I'm currently obsessed with all things Fosse. Especially his "AutoBio Pic" All That Jazz (1979)

And I'm even more obsessed with this scene from the movie
"JAGGER & GIDEON!"
