Currently pondering art to decorate our master bedroom walls with, my first thought {and choice} are a few framed prints by a photographer who made his career out of what he called “photographing attractive people doing attractive things in attractive places” –Slim Aarons.
I’m pretty sure my jaw dropped straight to my desk with a loud “thud” when I spotted this image of Oscar de la Renta relaxing in his living room because it’s the exact decor I’m going for in our bedroom {but with a tad more sexy and updated feel} …and I never seemed to notice this photo until now. Loves.
There are just so many amazing photos that I could get lost staring into, dreaming about, it’s hard to choose just two, really …I’ll have to grab a couple of his coffee table books as well. It’s all just too fabulous not to.
A few years ago, in a post titled Slim Aaarons Captures My Dream Life I mentioned not only my love for his work but how I hoped my future house had a pool so I could throw fabulous parties that captured the feeling of one of them. Well, it’s not exactly summer yet, but it is the future and I am in a house with a pool …and I quite possibly would have to throw a vintage themed party to recreate his look but in the meantime, I will ponder which of his masterpieces will make it onto our bedroom walls.

I love this one in Barbados from 1976 it’s the year my husband & I were both born.

See how stylish you are…you think just like Oscar de la Renta!
As soon as I get through my move this weekend I’m going to send you a pic of our friends AWESOME pool. I think it will give you some great landscaping pool ideas.
Their backyard leaves me in awe whenever I go over there.
HAPPY EASTER!

Slim Aarons’ images are iconic! I love him. I love that he manages to capture the ‘vibe’ of each location–the day, the weather, the feeling in the air…it’s amazing. I lived in Palm Beach for many years and his images of it take me back every time. That is true art!

These photographs are all kind of wonderful! Oh, to be in Barbados right now…
Some of the pics in your older post of his work remind me of the movie, “Beyond the Valley of Dolls,” which I’ve just seen thanks to some tv channel that we have. If you’ve not seen it, I highly recommend it – it’s the most bizarre movie I’ve ever seen.
