Design Trade Magazine: Let there be light
http://designtrademagazine.blogspot.com/2010/02/let-there-be-light.html
Monday, February 8, 2010. Let there be light. Shades styles are limited by imagination, but there are several styles that are generally familiar to most. Empire - A round shade with a straight sloped side, the most popular shade style. Bell - A distinctive flared shape, like a bell, narrower at the top than at the bottom, a very traditional choice. Coolie - A round shade, much like the Empire, but with an exaggerated pitch to the sloped side. February 11, 2010 at 11:32 PM. February 12, 2010 at 10:34 AM.

The Antiquer: This Girl Had Style
http://theantiquer.blogspot.com/2012/08/this-girl-had-style.html
Musings of an Antiques Dealer and Curator. Sunday, August 19, 2012. This Girl Had Style. Allison Kimball with Troy Donahue. Tall, blonde and beautiful, Allison Kimball embodied good taste and sophisticated style. Think Julianne Moore's character in the Tom Ford movie A Single Man. I first met her in the 70s as a college friend of her daughter, Lynn. I had no idea moms could look like her. She was stunning. Once she complimented my shoes-Capezio T-straps-and I fell in love with her. In the 80's Allison di...
