[Alternative Muses] Writerly Style: Françoise Sagan
“Fashions fade, style is eternal.”-Yves Saint Laurent
Françoise Sagan was the ultimate cool girl writer. If you believe that style should be effortless and detached, then she is your muse. Even today, a wardrobe like hers can take you almost anywhere, and anywhere it can’t you probably don’t want to go.
The writer looking brilliantly modern. Oh, that skirt! That shirt! That hair!
Her uncomplicated look remains fresh more than five decades later. Who needs nail varnish and lipstick when you can look like this? She is proof that decadent lives do not need visible gilding. Continue reading

Daily Diversion #146: My Week in Photos
This week has been a busy one. In addition to the Fourth of July holiday, The Chef and I hosted our first out-of-town guests. My studio is still a work-in-progress. I never thought it would take a month and counting to get organized. I will keep pushing through until it is precisely what I need it to be. Regular posting will resume on Monday, with more in-depth content following a week later. I would promise the return of book reviews, [R]evolving Incarnations, etc. sooner but, alas, dear readers, this is my birthday week. I made a pact with myself to step back and fully enjoy the turning of a new decade. Until then, here is a look at my not-very-literary or productive week. Enjoy!
