Patti Hansen

I have long held that Patti Hansen is the most beautiful woman ever, so I love the cover of this month's Town & Country. I don't feel like I see enough of her now, even though she seems to improve with age. I have not read Keith's book "Life" yet (still using it as a doorstop) but I hope to get to it this holiday season.

I was so moved by her interview in Vogue (August 2010) when she opened up about the bladder cancer she had been battling, after a brush with/bout with breast cancer in 2005 (neither of those terms seem right do they? but that's just how she downplays it... cool lady.) She seems like a real go-to-girl. Someone who has managed to instil an incredible sense of family into a rather nomadic bunch of people - daughters, models; papa, a rolling stone. Despite having several family homes it seems that they do all retreat to each of them and "act" quite normal, in a hubby-doing-sketches-for-you-using-his-own-blood kind of way. And apparently she bakes cookies in all of them.

She seriously rocks.

Evelyn Lauder you were an amazing woman

If you're in the market for a gorgeous house in Brooklyn...

Jenna Lyons and her husband have put their stunning light-filled townhouse on the market for personal reasons it seems ("not that there's anything wrong with that"!) While she has made a lot of choices that I would not necessarily make (I'm talking about the house) it is nonetheless a super stylish pad, stamped with her own low/high end style. I love it - would quickly ditch the antlers and fur though...

JDCamicetta Fall launch

Di and I were thrilled to have Gaye Gibson host the launch of our JDCamicetta Fall collection at Sidewalk on Tuesday. If you're in Hong Kong you can pop in and see it there! As you can see from the snaps there are also some resort pieces, perfect for popping somewhere over the holidays (or frankly for Hong Kong weather now!) 

Our mandate remains: fluid dress styles, some of which are morphing into shirts and maxis.... easy to style and make them your own. Beach cover-up or pop a slip underneath for more polish. Lace for day? Why not. But of course also for evening. Skinny jeans underneath, cardi or blazer? Yes. 

We are looking forward to the arrival of our Fall shirtdresses in wool, heavier cottons and denims (come on down Mary Tyler Moore!) Stay tuned for that.... always something in the works at Camp Camicetta!

Thanks to Eclectic Cool for the images.

What a difference a week makes...

Now I know every man and his dog is blogging about the weather in New York.... so here is my plus one! These snaps were taken at our gorgeous friends' house in Rye. Last Sunday two of my girls and the divine Delves boys were enjoying some Halloween merriment in the front yard, then a week later......
