When I saw these on one of my favorite reads Sartorialist …I knew they would get blog jacked. Life may not have been perfect for these men and women back in those days; but dang did folks know how to style.

What can I say about Josephine Baker that hasn’t already been said? The woman said eff the haters and lived a life that is truly beyond imagination for her day. She refused to perform for segregated audiences. She adopted 12 children from different ethnic backgrounds, called them the “Rainbow Tribe”, she owned a pet cheetah [...]]]> http://www.gettogethablog.com/2010/01/icon-josephine-baker/feed/ 4 http://www.gettogethablog.com/2010/01/cinema-style-the-secret-life-of-bees/ http://www.gettogethablog.com/2010/01/cinema-style-the-secret-life-of-bees/#comments Wed, 06 Jan 2010 15:00:59 +0000 gt http://www.gettogethablog.com/?p=9511

In case you didn’t know Mimosa was Pantone’s 2009 Color of the Year…and it’s a color that’s still going strong in the contemporary decor world. I guess you could say that Mimosa is a mix of mustard, a dash of champagne, orange juice and a smidgen of Crayola yellow.
