My daughter recently sent me some of her travel pics—she’s quite a talented amateur photographer. And this got me thinking about cameras and picture perfect style.

Vintage 1950s Will Steinman Brocade Cocktail Dress

I’m feeling very inspired this morning. But I’m not feeling very vintage-inspired.
