Carole Lombard! Jean Harlow! Satin, bias cuts and curves, yum. And don't forget the sleek mirrored furniture which is newly fashionable again. I'm excited to see what you make of historical fiction, Justine. So few people get a period voice right but I bet you will. How could anyone not get 30s glamour? Carole Lombard! Jean Harlow!

Just go there in July or August and you will be overwhelmed with style from yesteryear! And if you decide to come up to the races this summer, be sure to let me know you're coming. I'll take you and Scott and great time! The great thing about the racetrack at Saratoga is that the style has not changed in 100 years.

Between that, Balenciaga, and McQueen, there is something very interesting happening right now, which brings to mind (but does not boringly ape) the thirties. Something about strong, serious women in strong serious clothes. I love it. Sadly, the downmarket stores in the US do not appear to be knocking them off, as they are in London. US stores are too busy knocking off Marc Jacobs, who's okay but who does not make great clothes for great women. I love the elegant and unapologetic power of thirties dressing. That power is very much on display in the Paris shows right now. Check out Yves Saint Laurent’s latest collection on style.com.
