Hat Tricks
Fedoras, beanies, trappers, cossacks, berets, visors and a show stopping feathered headpiece . . . . hats of all shapes, colors, and sizes were spotted in Paris this week.
Cecilia Camouflaged
With the help her assistants, make-up and body paint, Peruvian artist Ceclia Paredes seamlessly blends herself into her own intricate, botanical paintings. Unlike Liu Bolin, she carefully chooses her poses and leaves her hair unpainted, which adds an element of mystique to each piece.
Giambattista Valli Spring Couture 2012
Giambattista Valli‘s haute couture collection has been described as pure fairytale. I couldn’t agree more. I can only dream of having a reason to wear such pristine gowns and cocktail dresses. The belts and jewelry, created out of pure sheets of silver by Luigi Scialanga, as well as the hydrangea-like floral accessories are truly stunning. Can you hear Giambattista’s phone ringing for dress requests for the Oscars?
Mini Bar
I’m looking forward to the first Sunday of February so I can wake up early to scour my local flea market for a vintage bar cart. I figured it’s about time I pull my pretty collection of glassware and bottles out of their cabinets. After all, when the clock strikes 5, having the makings of a cocktail within reach is absolutely necessary – wouldn’t you agree?
