Why I Love Wallis

Okay, I really should be packing, but I thought I'd post one more time before we hit the road in the morning. I may have mentioned this before, but one of my vintage fashion idols is Wallis Warfield Simpson (once the Duchess of York). While certainly a controversial figure, Wallis Warfield Simpson was one of the most elegant and sophisticated dressers, in my humble opinion. Below are two of my favourite pictures of her. Of course, with people like Elsa Schiaparelli making her dresses, no wonder she looked so divine! Oh, speaking of Schiaparelli, I came across the most amazing Schiaparelli website today. Have a look? Toodles til Monday, darlings.
