Giambattista Valli F/W 2009





Absolutely Gorgeously created.

The black and white dress reminds me of Audrey Hepburn, not so much the rest but that one is A Princesse.

Then birds birds birds. Maybe Madame Getty would do the rest.

Maybe it should have been a little more coherence to the collection. But really, what does it matter? The consumer won't buy a complete collection, she buys herself a dress, a coat or a blouse. What matters then is Only Stunning pieces.

Charles Anastase F/W 2009







He showed punk rock whimsical looks on the runway. But then to come and view the pieces separately the feeling was quite different. Of course whimsical still, but not as punk rock up close. Just various Adorable designs.

Love his coats.

Words from Marianne Williamson

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."~Marianne Williamson

Franz Ferdinand- Twilight Omens


I wrote your name upon the back of my hands
Slept upon it and i woke up with it
Backwards on my face
Reading forwards to my mirror
To my heart scrolling

Twilight omens in my life
Then i hear your name
Hear the way you sing your name, baby
Should i give you a call
And i say:
Baby, you still feel the same.

I typed your number into my calculator
Where it's spelled as your word
When you turn it upside down
You can turn my dirty world
The bright way round

Twilight omens in my life
Then i hear your name
Hear the way you sing your name
Should give you a call
And i say:
Oh, maybe i still feel the same.

Twilight omens in my life
Keep hearing your name
Keep hearing your name
Keep hearing your name
Keep hearing you sing your name

This song is my Absolute Favorite at the moment.

I saw them live in New jersey in 2005 with (my then...)the love of my life, Mr. M. That night I was in heaven. The music floored me and I had this wonderful person next to me loving the same thing as me. It took 3 years to get over that man....this song sort of makes me look back at that time and how all this above applied to me. I was in Such misery.
