Dianna Lunt - The Sartorialist
I spend my weekends…
At brunch with my boyfriend, and reading magazines in the bathtub.
Dianna Lunt - The Sartorialist
Describe your personal style:
Shambolic.
I build my daily look around:
An emotion.
John Dall & Peggy Cummins in Gun Crazy (aka Deadly is the Female) (1949, dir. Joseph H. Lewis)
“We go together, Annie. I don’t know why. Maybe like guns and ammunition go together.”
Spending quality time with his family, Cam Gigandet was spotted out to lunch in Los Angeles, CA yesterday afternoon (November 6).
The “Twilight” hottie was in full dad mode as he carried daughter, Everleigh Ray, in a sash carrier, all the while keeping his little girl happy with a pacifier.
Joined by girlfriend, Dominique Geisendorff, the cute family of three sat and had lunch at Toast Bakery and Café.

THE documentary photographer Bruce Davidson insists that style was never part of his vocabulary. Even so, his work, which is now the subject of two gallery shows and a three-volume box set published by Steidl, contains a haphazard elegance that has captivated the fashion industry from the very start. Alexander Liberman, Vogue’s legendary art director, offered Mr. Davidson assignments after seeing his 1959 “Brooklyn Gang” series, portraying a gritty and rather gorgeous crew called the Jokers.

Daphne Guinness — tottering around expertly in fall 2009 Nina Ricci heels — said she didn’t know Anna [Wintour] well enough to send anything. “I don’t think she needs anything, really. I’d give her what I’d give anybody — love,” Guinness said. “I’m a Scorpio, too. My birthday is Monday.” Does she have birthday plans? “I’m going to eat a sandwich and then do Bikram yoga. That sounds nice, right?” Sure, kind of! “And then I’m crawling under the covers and saying, ‘Poor me!’ It’s a very strange month to have a birthday. But I had a midlife crisis when I was 9, so I’m not worried about that.” She’s also as confused about her apparent agelessness as we are: “I forget [how old I’m turning]. 41, I think.” (According to Wikipedia, she’s turning 42.) “You know, I really don’t care, because I don’t expect to live for very much longer.” What does that mean? “Oh boy, this is turning into a heavy conversation,” she continued. “But it isn’t about age — it’s about experience. The only thing worth aiming for is love. As you long as you have that, it’s okay, and then you have some issues you just need to work out during this lifetime, not that I’m religious in any shape or form. But I don’t fear death. Love is the only thing that matters. Everything else is smoke and mirrors.” So, is fashion smoke and mirrors, too? “That’s the best smoke and the best mirror. You’ve gotta go out, so you should go out in style.” (via Daphne Guinness to Celebrate Birthday With a Sandwich and Bikram Yoga - The Cut)

Mayor of London saves woman from street attack… while riding his bike.
“Boris Johnson rescued a woman from three “feral kids” who were wielding an iron bar, chasing them away on his bicycle, it emerged tonight. The mayor of London was cycling through Camden, north London, on Monday night when he answered the cry of Franny Armstrong, a documentary maker and environmental activist who was surrounded by a group of hoodie-clad young girls. Johnson stopped and chased the girls down the street, calling them “oiks”. He then returned to walk Armstrong home. “He was my knight on a shining bicycle,” she said today.”
