“The Most Glamorous Audrey Hepburn Quotes” by Hallie Gould. Town and Country Magazine via Marie Claire.
“Even before Ben started Ben’s Garden, he was writing lists. Lists of what he was going to plant in his garden, things he wanted to do, or places he wanted to go. Today he uses notepads like these to write lists, of his lists for his business and at home. A way to keep everything in order and with just a bit of cheer. Each notepad measures a generous 4″ by 7.25”. Each notepad has fifty heavyweight pages and a stiff chipboard backing. Page-after-page, they will make you smile and won’t let you forget! Available via Janet Brown Interiors.
“As King Francois I once said, ‘Paris is not a city, it’s a world.’ Long after the swarming crowd has deserted it, after the hum and buzz of traffic has subsided, Paris still resonates with a discreet life of its own. Working before sunrise and after sundown, photographer Jean-Michel Berts has created these dream-like black-and-white images, including Montmartre and the banks of the Seine. Following the Grands Boulevards and the footprints of Baudelaire, Brassa•, and Huysmans, the deserted streets of Paris take on a poetic, ethereal quality. Featuring beautiful text by the French novelist Pierre Assouline, this book is a moving homage to the city of lights. Each print is given ample breathing space in this volume, whose opulent trim size befits the spectacular quality of the shots.” Image and text via Assouline.
