the photograph of mary mccartney peeking out from inside her father’s jacket is featured on the back cover of paul’s first solo album, mccartney. it’s such a sweet, intimate shot of father and baby. just as lovely as the one of john lennon and son that i posted in december.

more nuptial photos from jimena roquero. i love everything about this spanish wedding – the lights, her braid, the stylish details, the ring bearer. this couple radiates love and their friends and family seem to be bathing in it. felicitaciones!

city hall wedding

rzakoura — Mon, 13 Sep 2010 14:23:10 +0000

i’m crazy about these photographs of nicole and anthony by jimena roquero. they evoke feelings of another era where the mod bride marries her dashing groom. nicole epitomizes the chic city hall bride – from the short lace dress, to the birdcage headpiece, to the white stockings and heels. beautiful and inspiring.

max’s kansas city comes to life

rzakoura — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 00:31:02 +0000

“max’s kansas city was an oasis, and nobody there wanted a record of what they were doing.” lucky for us there is a record, and it will be on display at two exhibitions – at the steven kasher gallery, and (focusing on max’s artist regulars) the loretta howard gallery. both galleries located in chelsea launch their exhibits on september 15. this late bloomer will be there to catch a glimpse of patti smith and robert mapplethorpe, if only in a photograph.

what a day

rzakoura — Sun, 13 Jun 2010 14:10:54 +0000

one year ago today…i got my hair done, slid into a white dress, sipped champagne, prayed for sun, re-read my vows, united with frank for the first time, snapped hundreds of photos, felt drops of rain in the field, wondered when the rabbi was going to show up, reapplied my lipstick, signed the ketubah, bawled at the first note of “in a sentimental mood,” walked down the aisle (still bawling), listened to the most beautiful vows ever written, said “i do,” kissed my groom, relaxed in the silo with my husband, learned we made the new york times, attended our cocktail hour (trying not to miss a single appetizer), dined on phenomenal food, listened to beautiful words by friends and family, bussed back to the castle, bribed the bartender to stay open, smiled and smiled and smiled.

younger than i’ll be

rzakoura — Fri, 14 May 2010 15:02:34 +0000

the photo exhibit, younger than i’ll be, depicts new york in the 80′s and early 90′s, encompassing the feeling of being young in the city back when manhattan could still feel dangerous.

curator skye parrot:
“being young here was a singular experience–riding the subways, walking everywhere, phone booths, beepers, sitting on stoops, the feeling that you owned everything. part of that was just the joy and omnipotence of adolescence. part of it is the overwhelming experience of coming into one’s own in a place as exceptional as new york.”

exhibit runs through may 23 at bam.

denim chic

rzakoura — Thu, 31 Dec 2009 03:35:59 +0000

a recently bought chambray shirt from madewell (or workshirt as they call it) has become one of my new favorite pieces. it’s great to wear casually with jeans or leggings, but i also like to spice it up by pairing it with a sequined mini. as i was browsing stockholm street style, i found some great examples of glamming up denim. i guess it doesn’t hurt to be drop dead gorgeous either – these chicklets could make a paper bag ravishing.

i’m in love
