Diana Vreeland had a singular take on not only fashion but life. Her eccentricity has become folklore and was best exemplified in an illustrated column of irreverent advice for chic living she called “Why Don’t You?” Resurrected and reimagined for modern life, the column, now written by Bazaar’s executive digital director, Lynette Nylander, will dispense tips on how to live stylishly, decadently, and daringly.
WHY DON’T YOU … LAVISH
every interaction with generosity. Pile on the compliments and be stingy with complaints. Notice when people have changed their hair, and let them know it suits them. Listen intently when engaged in conversation. People will remember the way they felt being with you long after you’ve left. You’ll make a dreary March morning feel like a sunny day in July.
WHY DON’T YOU … MAKE
a vision board a more glamorous affair. Plot out your grand plans in high style. Compile a list of all the things you’re supposed to be “too old,” “too serious,” and “too sophisticated” for and ensure that this is the year you get to them. Extra points if you use a 19th-century gilt Florentine frame for your board—the kind that belongs in a palazzo—instead of cork board. Because your dreams deserve better than thumbtacks!

instead of money, on the things that matter most. For example, save a fortune on entertainment by hosting salons in your humble abode. All you need is good wine, good lighting (imagine a Maison d’Etto candle fluttering as a Dana Arbib Smeraldo light fixture holds center court in your living room), and the kind of conversation that makes people forget to look at their phones.
WHY DON’T YOU … COLLECT
something marvelous and completely unnecessary. Amass antique buttons, art-deco cocktail shakers, first-edition poetry books, or postcards from places you’ve never been. Build a personal cabinet of curiosities that tell the story of who you wish you were, and then become her!

to gain joy instead of lose weight. Know that every morning is a second chance at a first shot. Dance until dawn at least once a month. Wear colors that make you deliriously happy (channel breakout model Awar Odhiang’s star-making turn in vibrant red Chanel feathers) and eat oysters on Tuesdays for no reason at all. It-Brit restaurant Straker’s lands in New York in March and would make the perfect setting
