  1. Oh… I’m so jealous. I was supposed to go the day it opened in NYC (I think Hamish Bowles did a tour first), but I couldn’t make it. I bet it was amazing. Really glad you got to go — I’ll live vicariously through you 🙂

  3. Which book was the second picture in? I can’t seem to find a photograph of it anywhere! (black and white dress evening dress).
