{spring things: closet organization}

. . . must confess, have been avoiding re-organising the closets for spring & summertime, for it is rather a monumental, somewhat overwhelming task, and shoes seem to be overtaking the place, making mornings quite a flurry, and so, a little inspiration before it begins . . .

{runway inspiration: valentino, paris}

. . . fluttery pleated skirts with a hint of soft coral, elegant leather trenches and sheer blush-hued dresses, beautiful cashmere skirtsuits -- and suddenly, the workday has just gotten a little more chic . . .


{p.s.} isn't that trench an amazing shade of green?

Elle Fanning Time-lapse Painting

Hello Hello!
How was your weekend?
I saw a brilliant movie called the "The King's Speech".
If you haven't seen it, go see it.
It's such a moving movie. Loved it!

So I'm happy to present you with a new Speed Painting Video.
As your remember, a month ago i started watching Hayao Miyazaki and i saw his movie "My Neighbor Totoro".
The main girls in the English version of the movie were played by, at the time very young little sisters Elle & Dakota Fanning.
I was blown way how amazing they were in that movie.
And then recently, i stumbled across a beautiful editorial of Elle Fanning (not sure what magazine it was from).
She has a really great look.
She has a little bit of Gemma/Sophie Ward look going on, plus she was wearing a dress from Valentino's spring 2011 collection,
and I thought she would be perfect in my pop culture series,
so the other day i did this painting and made this video for yawl.
I had to do some finishing touches on the painting,
but will post it tomorrow! I hope you like the video!

{colour inspiration: scarlet, crimson & vermilion}

. . . have been known to wear red lipstick nearly everywhere -- on early morning walks with the dog, at the shops and in the rain, and sometimes even to the gym, but very rarely, if ever, decorate with or wear the colour red . . . and yet, somehow, and only next to gold {an all-time favourite}, shades of scarlet, crimson and vermilion, always elegant and wonderfully festive in the form of short and stylish party dresses, are perfectly and utterly irresistable at this time of year . . .
