Image du Jour: The Baroness


She had a farm in Africa, you know - at the foot of the Ngong Hills. Wonder if she shot the coat herself; wouldn't put it past her.

  2. As if one ever minds revisiting the back catalogue, as it were!

    And isn't she astonishing? One of the Very Greats, both for her writin and for her incredible style and gallantry.

    Someday I want to go visit both her houses - in Nairobi and Denmark. And wear that coat to at least one of them.
