Almost Perfect
Wouldn’t this photo be perfectly fashionable if only it had Fernando von Bakonstein in it? Marc Jacobs and Rachel Zoe, photographed by Altamira UPDATED TO ADD: Yay for Altamira AKA Craig! His photos were picked up on Oh No They Didn’t. By the way, I think these are some of the best-ever photos of Rachel.
Bizarre Newspaper Error of the Day
The Washington Post (registration required) intrigued me with a brief profile of stylish photographer Zaida Ben-Yusuf, whose work is being shown at the National Portrait Gallery. The profile said she lived from 1869 to 1909 and emphasized that she died at the startlingly young age of 40. I went to the National Portrait Gallery’s site…

Out and About With the Stay at Home Mom
