Bob Willoughby, Audrey Hepburn. Photographs 1953–1966 Bob Willoughby, Audrey Hepburn. Photographs 1953–1966

A brief Chic history lesson: Photographer Bob Willoughby was first called in to shoot Audrey Hepburn one morning shortly after her arrival to Hollywood in 1953, and he was completely enraptured with the iconic beauty ever since. Taschen Books has published a collector's edition hardback featuring Willoughby's photographs of Hepburn from 1953-1966, and each of the 1,000 copies is numbered and signed by Willoughby. We're thinking a dreary day like today is perfect for an Audrey movie marathon, non? THE DETAILS: Taschen, $500

Barnhand Meets Banker: J.Crew Men's New Digs

J.Crew does barnhand-meets-banker at their new Upper East Side location which opened earlier today at Madison & 79th Street. The interior is less stuffy than most UES men's boutiques, a welcome change for the shopaphobic men. Featuring weathered wood recovered from old barns, the interior blends perfectly with tailored wool blazers and its signature clean, prepster look. The building is actually a former bank, and the lower level of the shop has the vault still intact in the back, this time filled with bags, vintage finds, and shoes. (One can argue that these are the only goods worth really protecting anyway!) Maybe the banker set will channel their inner barnhand with the Quoddy chukka boots that look too comfortable not to be worn on a weekend jaunt (city or country).

Natasha Poly takes no nonsense for the Corps d’Elite editorial in the September 2010 issue of Vogue Paris, as shot by Terry Richardson. The super plays the role of a tough-talking drill sergeant sending her trainee, Jamie Dornan, through the ringer. If Poly demands, “Drop and give me 10!” we will obey!
