Here are my latest finds and news from fashion, film, design, photography and beautiful living.
• Ralph Lauren has been the official outfitter of Wimbledon since 2006. David Lauren talks about the perfect match that is Wimbledon and Polo Ralph Lauren, about how his father has always drawn inspiration from England, from Cary Grant movies and old photos of the Windsor family. On the same Wimbledon note, you may be interested in learning more about the evolution of tennis dressing: Coco Chanel was once again a pioneer.
• Arthur Elgort’s book Camera Ready: How to Shoot Your Kids
• Susannah Frankel writes an interesting article about Haider Ackermann: the draped crusader. Some of my readers may know by now that I am a great admirer of his work.
• Academy Award winning costume designer Lindy Hemming talks Designing 007: fifty years of Bond style: the exhibition opens next month in London and includes a wide range of categories, from costume design to set design.
• Chiara sports a fun outfit I absolutely love

I’m sipping my coffee and going through these wonderful links. I’m especially interested in the Ackermann interview, thanks for sharing that one.
By the way, the title of Elgort’s book is hilarious, especially if you don’t know the context.
Yes, I know, that’s exactly what I thought when I first saw the title of the book.
I do love starting the morning with wonderful links! The article on the evolution of tennis dressing was fascinating!
How gorgeous! Have a lovely day, Kellie xx
Hey, Ada, I am in love with those wall photography corner, I have one in my home. Chiara is always choosing lovely outfit (I personally love any large blouse that shows one shoulder). Nice finding that photography book, Ada! Kisses

Wonderful links, Ada, thank you! I shall enjoy them this weekend. And the classic tennis style always evokes such a grew mood of summer, leisure and, okay, a bit of privilege as well.
Happy weekend coming up. xo
Great Links Ada, again. I’m going to sit down properly and read the Haider Ackerman article – love his work. Hasn’t tennis style come a long , long way! That Arthur Elgort book sounds great – and yes, very funny or very odd, title for it… x:)
