British Vogue gets it right every time.  The June 2011 issue, with its fashion stories cataloged by destination (or lifestyle), appeals to every aspect of my ramshackle chic sensibility – great, effortless style with just the slightest undercurrent of boho artistry (with the budget of landed gentry).

The collections – from California surfer girl to die-hard Africa enthusiast, are so well thought out, the photography so fabulous – the aspirational destinations and lifestyles so ripe,  I defy even the most jaded fashionista (or denimista, as I am) not to weep openly in deep, soulful appreciation.

I feel compelled to feature my favorites over the next couple of days – beginning with British Vogue’s take on traveling in South Africa.  Note the familiar and ohhhh so fabulous  – Globe Trotter luggage again – workmanship and style to make you moan with desire (refer to my earlier aticle “Hello Lover – Its all about the Suitcase.” and, oh yeah, my own battered orange suitcase.  I am an unabashed fan.).

Sublime. Seriously. Sublime.
