Pucketts Farm Equipment (6)

I recently had a birthday, and because mine is so close to the holidays, I had the luxury of celebrating with my hometown friends since I left California for a week to spend Christmas with my family. I decided to have the party at…

LADIES & GENTLEMEN…

Ed and Mick

The very first time I ever saw the Rolling Stones perform, it was on an old Ed Sullivan Show VHS that my dad bought. I never knew what hit me.

Now I taught the weeping willow how to cry, and I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky. And the tears that I cried for that woman are gonna flood you Big River,
then I’m gonna sit right here until I die…

VICTORY FOR VICTOIRE

by Tori on December 20, 2011

I’m not really the type of girl who freaks out over diamonds or expensive jewelry. The sight of a Tiffany’s does not send me into a state of lust and gasping. In fact, my own wedding ring is fairly simple…

GREASE ‘N CIGS

by Tori on December 18, 2011

I have always loved this photo from My Parents Were Awesome. What was this? A party? If so, why are there such little kids there? Who was allowing them to smoke? And don’t you just love the kid trying to be all badass—but then he’s wearing a…

One of the most perfect films of all time, and one of my absolute top favorites. I will never get tired of it, and I’m always in the mood to watch it. Always. “Does anybody remember laughter?…They make you feel cool. And hey, I met you. You are not cool…I am a college professor. Why can’t I teach my own kids? …Use me!”…

SHINE ON, YOU CRAZY DIAMOND

by Tori on December 16, 2011

The very best piece of vintage that I own—my wedding ring. I share it with my mother-in-law. I’ve been wearing it myself for ten years, but it was originally hers. And although it’s mine now, it’s still hers too, and that makes it mean so much to me.

I have the biggest crush on Elettra Wiedemann. She’s a model, a medical scientist, and the co-owner of a charity project organization. She’s the daughter of the incredible Isabella Rossellini and the granddaughter of the legendary Ingrid Bergman…

ROMANCE INSPIRATION: JACK & ANJELICA

by Tori on December 11, 2011

Jack Nicholson and Anjelica Huston were the perfect combination for the wild 70s and the glitzy 80s: he, the larger-than-life bad boy and she, Hollywood royalty and the muse of fashion designers. Both monumental movie stars, very talented, with…
