Lamb and Fennel Mint Salad (Chia Chong and Libbie Summers)

Fields of Crochet

Nothing feels and looks more summery than wearing a crochet dress, especially in white! Even better to be able to wear it in this beautiful dream like setting. I want to eat lots of honey, drizzled over lots of cheese, drink lots of wine and wear this dress at this amazing table scape in this field! Our on the spot model (Libbie’s intern) Anna Heritage is pulling this look off beautifully (let’s just hope she’s not running from bees). A little crochet dress like this could be worn so many different ways. I would layer it with a black tailored jacket and black heels, of course. You could never go wrong this summer with pairing it with your trusty flip-flops too!

A Lesson in Geography and Modesty

There’s nothing like a worldly person to remind you you’re not.

When I meet Merveille Kasongo, her body language reads like one of those signs on the back of a semitruck that warn: “Stay back 200 feet.” Her arms remains locked at her sides and without smiling she looks directly at me with big dark eyes lined with lashes so thick I wonder how they could be real. My brassy American sensibilities are, of course, injured.
