Courting Style
Style Court indulged my love of fine notepads today. She pointed me to these inspiring notepads from Charlotte Moss. Style icon Bonnie Cashin was the inspiration behind her post:
I thought it would be fun to re-post these images of Bonnie Cashin's boutique-style closet, featured in House and Garden, July 1969. Cashin, a fashion designer best known for her Coach accessories in the 1960s, believed that everyone should have a "boutique" in their own home with "colors erupting in a barely controlled riot." There is a nice online exhibition of her work, "Chic is Where You Find It" at the UCLA Library.
If you look closely at the notepads you'll see that one of the lifestyle quotes comes from Bonnie. What an adorable set to keep bedside fro those late night ideas. In this case, chic really is where you find it.
I love these! I need a notepad in every room of my house.... I hate not being able to find paper when an inspiration strikes!

I couldn't agree more. I was delighted to see that you receive four packs of each notepad. I could leave these in my handbag, my office and at home to use whenever inspiration strikes. What a great hostess gift these would make!

I think these are wonderful and for Moss to provide a hidden game for her customers to play is so charming. Can you see it? It is like an IQ test of chic. Which person does not belong within the group? Ha, fabulous!

Franki,
I know you love your notepads. Now I know what to get you for Christmas!
"colors erupting in a barely controlled riot". That is an exquisite quote.
