a stylish lady...

I value personal style over high fashion, but this book featured in the New York Times Style section captured my imagination with its collaged illustartions:

(There are 5 sample illustrations in the slide show at the top of the article, don't miss those!)

Basically author Camilla Morton mixes a real life fashion designer (Lacroix in the featured memoir) with a fairy tale.
