I remember the first time I ran across photos of engaged couple Sarah Vickers and Kiel James Patrick of Classy Girls Wear Pearls and KJP. My first thoughts occurred in approximately this order: 1. Who are these people?? 2. Are they real?? 3. Why does it look like they live in a Ralph Lauren ad?? 4. Can I somehow cajole my way into their social circle??
Judging by Instagram alone, their lives look like this idyllic, imagined vision of the American Dream. But behind the scenes of building their brand and creating this aspirational lifestyle is a lot of hard work and I loved getting a peek into their personal office via Glitter Guide earlier this week. Their shelves are filled with so many of my favorite things, creating a kind of curiosity-filled King's Library at The British Museum meets quirky Kate Spade vibe that I'm totally crazy over. Considering that Town & Country Magazine recently included them on their list of "The Preppiest Couples of All Time" amongst classic duos like JFK and Jackie and F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald, they are definitely a couple to watch.
