On My Mind

July!

If August is the Sunday of summer, then July is, aptly, the Saturday. Growing up, my family was on Martha’s Vineyard from the day after school let out in June until Labor Day. There were July people and August people, we were simply summer people. Back then, August was the prime month, but now it feels like July has usurped that claim. And the Fourth kicks off July with gusto. For years I flew back from Paris on July 4. I cast Helmut Lang’s men’s show, which was often on the fourth, and it was agreed that when the last model walked the runway I could dash to the airport to be home with my girls for fireworks. I would fly to JFK then take a small plane up to the Vineyard. I could see fireworks in many of the small towns along the Cape — truly magical.

We will be poolside this hot long weekend and will see fireworks in town. Wishing everyone a fun and safe Fourth of July. xp

  • Love the photo ! And thank you for sharing your fashion knowledge and know how with all. I’ll be wearing my white Paris MIH jeans over the weekend. One of many staples in my wardrobe I found on Keep it Chic!

  • Flying back from Paris on the Fourth of July to be home in time for fireworks? Concorde? No jet lag. Those were the days.
