I am still in the process of moving and unpacking, however my shoes got first-class treatment. I love the gorgeous shelves of shoes spotted in the closets of Julia Restoin Roitfeld and many a fashionista, so I couldn't help myself when I found this bookshelf.

This editorial is just heavenly. The photo wih the feather vest and the sweeping cloud-filled skies is pure bliss. I can almost feel the humid summer heat in these pictures, and the model is like Pocohantas' ancestor or something.
