Modern Classic Beauty: Caroline Vreeland
Once better known as the great-grandaughter of the formidable fashion doyen and magazine editor Diane Vreeland, young Caroline is of a different type altogether, and quite worthy of appreciation in her own right.
…and she doesn’t seem to be all that shy, either:
Beauty As The Shape Of Joy
Keats once wrote: “A thing of beauty is a joy forever”, and he was quite right.
Here’s a piece from Jamie Wilson at PJMedia, and she has the right of it too:
Our exterior world isn’t harsh or ugly, not like the concrete fortresses of Brutalism or the boxy little cars of the Eastern Bloc, but neither is it beautiful. It is merely acceptable.

The White House has fired all six commission members who were installed under former President Joe Biden, and whose terms were expected to end in 2028.
“We are preparing to appoint a new slate of members to the commission that are more aligned with President Trump’s America First Policies,” a White House official told The Hill.
So… does this mean no more government buildings that look like this?
Fire away, then.
