David Sedaris’ New Book
For anyone unfamiliar with author David Sedaris, I highly recommend purchasing a book of his… and then going back and buying the whole catalogue. As you’ll likely find with many Sedaris diehards, the first book they read of his is usually their favorite (personally, I’m partial to Me Talk Pretty One Day). His latest accomplishment, Let’s Explore Diabetes with Owls, is another example of pitch-perfect Sedaris — which is to say self-deprecating, hilarious, and oddly heartwarming all at once.

In Development: Maria Borges
Model up-and-comer Maria Borges’ career kicked off in early 2012, when she walked in the Theyskens’ Theory Fall/ Winter show. By next season, she kicked it up a few notches, booking shows for Givenchy and securing an editorial in British Vogue. Soon, Marc Jacobs took notice, as did Tom Ford. If you’re not already, make sure you keep your eyes on this one.

Trend Spotting: Jean Jacket
Jean jackets are the perfect addition to a transitional season wardrobe (think less dead of winter/height of summer, and more spring/fall). Get your hands on the perfect denim cover-up on eBay, where we found some great pieces by one of our favorite denim brands, Acne Studios. Oh, and here’s a hint: Don’t forget to search for “denim jacket” in addition to “jean jacket” just to cover your bases.

Jeanloup Sieff
French photographer Jeanloup Sieff got his start — unofficially, of course — at the age of 14, when he was given a Photax plastic camera as a birthday gift in 1947. Thirteen years later, Sieff was traveling to the United States for his work with Glamour, Vogue, Esquire, and Harper’s Bazaar, shooting images like the one seen above. Sieff managed to capture beautiful women not merely posing, but existing in the world for a moment. There is much to learn about Sieff, and if you’ve got a craving to dig deeper, we suggest checking the link below.

David Bailey
Since the beginning of his career in the early ’60s, British photographer David Bailey has been considered one of the best in the business, shooting everyone from Sir Michael Caine to The Beatles to Mick Jagger. His work was so impressive, in fact, he was contracted by Vogue at the ripe old age of 23. Though he is best known for his work capturing “swinging London” at its height, as well as his countless images of model Jean Shrimpton, Bailey is still around today, shooting for the likes of i-D Magazine and GQ.
