It’s the last Monday in August, it’s Tom Ford’s birthday, and if you’re in Texas, it’s Lyndon Baines Johnson Day. What fragrance are you wearing?
I’m leaving for the beach in a few hours, for a last-gasp-of-summer vacation, wearing Guerlain Terracotta Le Parfum. The matching fabric: cotton gauze.
Reminder: on 8/31 we’re doing Fabric Friday…
From Diptyque, the 34 Bazar Candle: "The Elide is the evocation of the epic Fauna, an ancient figure that fascinated Desmond Knox-Leet, in this region of Greece where bitter orange peel essences, aromatic plants and wild lavender meet. His blackmat biscuit pot is adorned with a representation of Fauna." $85 for 220g at Neiman Marcus.
Sir Thomas Sean Connery is 88 today, and we're celebrating with a little Bond poll (it's sort of a repeat of a poll we did way back in 2008).
1. Who is your favorite Bond? (Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan or Daniel Craig)
2. What fragrance you think their version of Bond would wear?
3. Your all time favorite Bond movie?
4. Who do you think should play James Bond when Daniel Craig retires? Or should Bond just retire and be done with it?
Or, as always, just talk about something else. We don't mind at all.
