 Albert Hadley

I was told by a very reliable source a few weeks ago that the legendary Albert Hadley is retiring. I felt happy for him but also sad that I won’t get to see more of his always admirable work. I called his office in an attempt to prove me wrong and they confirmed that this week will be the last week of Albert Hadley Incorporated. Nothing I could say about his work, his legacy and his mayor influence in the design world would be enough so all I’m going to do is wish Mr. Hadley a very Happy Retirement. Below are photos of the last work designed by Albert Hadley and Britton Smith published by Elle Decor.

I could learn a thing or two about fashion but one thing I know for sure is that nothing sounds more appealing to me than the word Effortlessly Chic when it comes to dressing. More for the comfort side of it than for the actual chic other. Nothing explains more an Effortlessly Chic concept than dresses, skirts, comfortable tops and fabrics like cotton and cashmere.  I am one of the few people who is not a big fan of jeans, especially when too tight, I find them extremely uncomfortable.  I prefer them just loose enough.  So I love coming across what I call “reality fashion” outfits that are comfortable and still look Effortlessy Chic.   Below are a few photos that caught my eye.

 

Effortfully Chic outfits below. One too tight, the other too big and probably too heavy also.
