Travel Advice From Diana Vreeland

September 20, 2012
By

“Go to Paris as much as you can.” 

That is the one piece of advice Diana Vreeland had to give when talking with Colin McDowell, editor at The Business of Fashion. 

As an iconic figure in the world of beauty, style, art  and couture, Diana Vreeland has decoded the meaning of style. Her inspiration has come from global travel and cultural experiences throughout decades of fashion success.

Very few have a comparable prospective on style but in the film, “Diana Vreeland: The Eye Has to Travel” viewers will witness the inter-workings in which all of her accomplishments were composed.

As she sees it, no person may understand fashion from one perspective, from one lense, or from one set of standards. Style, in her opinion, is about making the unexpected extraordinary.

Bring your creativity to life! Putting pen to paper is the first step in organizing thoughts, ideas and memories. As the school children of India pray to Ganesh, the God of intelligence, you too will find the blessing of this God and many others within the Sutara notebooks found in the FTWWL store.

Each delicate page made of recycled paper is held safely between individually decorated covers depicting Hindu Gods and sacred figures such as the elephant. Swarovski crystals and gold leafing draw attention, yet only you may know what lies within. Detailed with colorful lace, you will see your story unfold, layer by layer.

Having  the death skull dangling as you carry your notebook along puts ultimate power and protection

in your hands.

Be free to express your dreams, re-live the past, explore new worlds and write down each moment of your day. Sutara notebooks are  made for enhancing personal strength and grow. Like the people of the world, no two notebooks are alike.

 

Find your fit and begin your exploration of the world page by page!
