Elizabeth Bauer DesignI think most of us have witnessed the popularity of the vintage zebra-print book, "I Married Adventure." Osa Johnson's 1940 memoir chronicles her marriage to Martin, their life on a houseboat in Borneo, their exploits with wild animals in Kenya, and their filming expeditions in the Congo.
O MagazineWas I surprised to open the June issue of O Magazine to see a new line of perfumes by Byredo, inspired by I Married Adventure. I love that they're styled with the vintage book!
ByredoEach fragrance comes in a 30 ml bottle and tells a unique story of a diverse origin remembering India, Africa and parts of Europe.
Vintage GirlWho knew that this "cult-like" book would be published in almost every designer/shelter magazine this past decade. And, it's still going strong!

Osa & Martin JohnsonThe Johnson's adventures are still being told. Osa's books prominently displayed on cocktail tables & bookshelves. Perfumes resting on vanity tables.
I bet that the Johnson's would be thrilled to know that their legacy still lives on.
