feeling slim (Aarons)

i've had that icky virus for the past few days and am finally on the mend.  one very good thing that came from spending hours horizontal in a big, boring bed with my iPad is that i had the time to search for and FINALLY SCORE a copy of Slim Aarons' "A Wonderful Time:  An Intimate Portrait of the Good Life" that wasn't a million dollars.  (i hope it still has the pages inside).  this victory also led me to order his "Once Upon a Time" and "A Place in the Sun".  a mini collection has started and they will be great in the shop amidst all the AMAZING fresh & sunny merchandise that is coming soon for Spring!  the only problem is now i am yearning for some pool side time of my own.  (going to see if i can make this happen soon).  until then, Aarons' chic photography of the o-so-privileged life will have to suffice...

below one of my favorite photos of Boston born Lucy Douglas Cochrane a.k.a. Sissy a.k.a CZ Guest ;)
