CAMEO
I loved the spread in the new French Vogue featuring cameos. I've been working on building a collection of vintage cameos for some time, but it's hard to find really nice ones.
Here is one of my own found recently. It appears that it started as a necklace, was converted to a belt, and we have now changed it back to a necklace.

The best cameos in my opinion are wedgewood. Don’t buy them here in the United States though, they are over priced. If you’re in the mood to go to England, definitely look for some there.
lovely pictures, the cameo featured is gorgeous!

Beautiful cameos. I love the way her hair is styled also. It is interesting how they have unexpectedly included suede boots into one of the shots when at first glance the theme appears to be stark and classic.

Oh I just love Cameos, I love the traditional shell ones, but also the carved stone ones. I also love the similar ones of little pictures, of which I have a small collection. If fact I have spent the last few weeks searching high and low for a black and white cameo I have featuring the pied pieper, hopefully it will turn up! The shoot is really wel done, you jsut cnat beat French Vogue! The long chain on your cameo really sets it of beautifully.

i LOVE the cameo on the chain! i used to collect them as a girl and i regret getting rid of them as an adult!!
Just wanted to say I’m a new reader and I feel so lucky to have found your blog. AMAZING. Love the DIY stuff. This is all so inspiring.
*SWOON!*
positively lovely.
i’m fortunate to have a vintage cameo pin that belonged to my grandmother. i treasure it.
i like what you did with yours, converting it back into a necklace. (i would have, too…can’t picture it as a belt!)
it refreshing to see paris vogue who championed the very “sex” lara look, switch it completely and make her soft and demure.
i never like cameo actually… but you and jane could make anything work. it looks good on a chain, gets rid of the dainty-ness of it.
that cameo is gorgeous! i love the rugged yet feminine feel of the chain.

I loved cameos when they’re styled right, like in that ed. You need to find a nice one so you can blow my mind with the way you style it!
Beautiful post. Love the photos.
So beautiful…I adore cameos so much!

OH goodness, what a gorgeous spread!
Time to bring back my cameos, ready for a cameo appearance.
Lovely, romantic with a twist.
I adore cameos, since I was a little girl I have loved them. I would love to find some nice vintage ones.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Cameos! They make me think of my mother. She also loved and collected them.
I love the piece you’ve shown, what a great necklace.

I love the slightly 70′s, earthtoned softness of this Paris Vogue spread. It feels timely. I especially like the styling in the third photo: the soft, sensuous texture of the lace blouse plays really well off the clean, modern line of the camel-colored Miu Miu skirt.
J’adore.
Hello Judy, sorry for the double comment, but i just saw on Jane’s blog that she’s off to Paris. If you are going with her, I think you’d really enjoy this beautiful shop called ” L’entreé des Fournisseurs” (8 rue des Francs-Bourgeois) in the Marais. It is tucked back in a vine-covered courtyard off the street, and it is just chock full of beautiful spools of ribbon, drawer upon drawer of hard to find buttons, luxurious yarns, and so on. It’s really a bit of heaven for a DIY-er!
Just right up around the corner, le Centre Culturel Suedois (11, rue Payenne) houses a dear, homey little cafe in the corner of the cobbled courtyard. There you’ll find refuge from the (mostly) charming Parisian chaos. The swedish staff is just lovely, and they serve coffee, buns, and rustic, tasty bites to eat. I spent many a peaceful afternoon there while living in Paris.
Both of these gems are in the 3rd Arrondisement on the right bank. If you find yourself on the Left Bank, and you’re just dying to see a bit of foliage or a blade of grass, visit le Jardin du Luxembourg in the 6th.
All that, of course, if you’re actually going and will have time to lolly-gag around the city!
Best.
Lovely post. Thanks for sharing. And that skirt on the third photo was so fabulous. =D

The editorial has such a warm ’70s feel to it. Love the styling. The cameo you’ve got is beautiful.

I just did a post on a cameo pin that I picked up at the Toront CNE from a lady that makes jewelry using vintage components.
reminds me of that ive got a beautiful piece at my parents home. it once belonged to my gradmother but is even older than that. when i was little i thought it was the most perfect piece of art ive ever seen. i guess is still do though. its just amazing. simple yet so extremly detailed.
This is such a gorgeous editorial! These pictures are so romantic and lovely ~
Gorgeous necklace! ;D

Cameos were some of the first things I lusted after in my mom’s jewelry box.
I’m a big fan of cameo’s myself. Your necklace looks really beautiful!
i love the lace collar and the necklace combination. or is it pendant.. anyway, it seems to make the neckline much nicer.
I have a large cameo that my Scottish grandmother left me. It’s pretty, and feminine, and I probably should wear it more often!
I love cameos, they are very trendy , I think this will be tackled for a long time, great choice, wonderful style
I love cameos and they are very trendy right now, I think this trend will last for much longer
At first glance, I thought this was a vintage vogue shoot with a “cameo” of actress as model (ellen burstyn?!).
Then a second later, I realized what was going on.
Ohhhh cameoooooo. haha.
Great shots and the cameo on chain is killer.

Beautiful images! Thanks for sharing!
You are sooo right, it is very hard to find nice ones. Your collection is just lovely!
Hello, i’m a new born little blog from Italy, I really like your style and find absolutely interesting every single post you make. I would very pleased if you would come and give a quick look at my blog, just to say to my friends “Judy Aldrige has been here!”
oohhh i adore this so much!
I think I subconciously copied you. I have a post about cameos tomorrow. Whoops! I’m glad you had a safe trip.

subconsciously…there, that’s spelled right now.
An incredibly elegant editorial! Such a warm tone…I think cameos are lovely – I always feel like there is an untold story to them, which is so intriguing…
I loved cameos when they’re styled right, like in that ed. i think You need to find a nice one so you can blow my mind with the way you style it!
