Blast from the past- Antonio's Girls



When I was taking pictures of the office bookcases(posted 1/2011) for this blog,

I found a book that was signed and given to me by the incredibly talented fashion illustrator Antonio Lopez. The book is called Antonio's Girls(1982).  

as I had not looked at it for some time,I started to flip through the pages + was amazed with the body of work he produced.

I adore this one-look at the detail. there are about 128 pages in this fab. book + each page is more divine then the next- more to come on another post...I promise!!!!!
Isn't he an amazing Talent?????

Chinese Portrait Book









I wanted to show this antique Chinese book I got on Portobello Road on my last trip to London.






It has 10 fabulous portraits.
I picked my three favorites below.












What do you think of these?
Hope I can find something great on my trip next week!
I'll be looking and taking pictures.
