my spring

my goals to make my spring even more beautiful than it already is:
-to make and eat pastel coloured desserts
-to find and buy the most beautiful floral top (this one is by Luisa Beccaria)
-to buy a peachy coloured lingerie
-to smell fresh flowers everyday
-to rock these wedges from Topshop
-to watch all Brigitte Bardot movies (at least 1 per week)

enjoy your spring too!

As long as Orlando: A Biography by Virginia Woolf is among my favourite books ever and Tilda Swinton is one of my favourite actresses this movie is a must for me.

And the visual side - just look at these screencaps and short video.

Walt said that the dead turned into grass...

This is the first sentence of the book Specimen Days by Michael Cunningham.
Filled with Whitman´s poetry that the characters cite and with his spirit and philosophy that rules to their destinies and influences their secret dreams and innermost desires.
This book forced my heart to flutter because of the beauty of Whitman´s poems and Cunnigham´s words beautifully bound together here, impelled my mind to wonder if the life I´m living is the one i want to live and made me love Whitman and Cunningham even more.

Broadway would be Lucass heaven, Broadway and Catherine and the book. In his heaven he would be everything he saw and heard. He would be himself and Catherine; he would be the calliope and the lamps; he would be shoes striking pavement, and he would be the pavement under the shoes. He would ride with Catherine on the toy horse from Niedermeyers window, which would be the size of an actual horse but perfect in the way of toys, moving serenely over the cobblestones on its bright red wheels.

He said, “I am large, I contain multitudes.” A man in a topcoat, passing by, glanced at him strangely, as people did. The man would be among the angels in Lucass heaven, just as plump and prosperous as he was on earth, but in the next world he would not consider Lucas strange. In heaven, Lucas would be beautiful. Hed speak a language everyone understood.

la belle personne

Beautiful French movie with Léa Seydoux (she reminds me a bit of Anna Karina) and Louis Garrel directed by Christophe Honoré.
La Belle Personne is based on a French classic La Princesse de Clèves (1768) by Madame de La Fayette.
The atmosphere of this movie, that does not takes place at the royal court as in the book but at the high school, is so convincing as much the performances of all actors involved.
At last I have to mention the music ( mostly by Nick Drake - I can´t believe that I had not heard about him before I watched this movie - his work means so much to me now), all songs were chosen so well that they complement the story perfectly and add to the whole movie special depth.

You can find the movie uploaded on YouTube if you´re interested.

Here is the trailer

what I like (right now)

feminine dresses, Marie Antoinette (waiting for the book about her by lady Antonia Fraser), strawberry pancakes, mod eye make-up, old buldings covered in snow - so enchanting, handwritten letters.

have a lovely weekend darlings!

karl, je t'aime...

( ... maybe ich liebe dich would be more appropriate here.)
Somebody was probably inspired by the colours of Laduree macaroons, I guess:)
These designs are beyond divine ( don´t let the hair to distract you from this fact) and I can´t wait to see Diane in one of them ♥.

There is a holiness to the heart's affections

Keats: I had such a dream last night. I was floating above the trees with my lips connected to those of a beautiful figure for what seemed like an age. Flowery treetops sprang up beneath us and we rested on them with the lightness of a cloud.
Fanny: Who was the figure?

Keats: I must have had my eyes closed because I can’t remember.
Fanny: And yet you remember the treetops.

Keats: Not so well as I remember the lips.
Fanny: Whose lips? Were they my lips?

love her

lose your dreams and you will lose your mind

via incorrigible dreamer

First of all I want to apologize for being away for so long, I was so consumed by my everyday obligations that I did not have the time for thinking of all these beautiful things and fantasies. And so I´m here again with my new year´s resolution to spend more time dreaming because sometimes it´s the only thing that keeps me sane:).

I hope you all enjoyed your holidays and wish you all the best to the wonderful new year (and don´t forget to dream)!

what would I love to see on the red carpet - part 1

all by balenciaga

all by alexander mcqueen

Recent Emmy Awards almost made me cry, so many beautiful women and so many bland dresses (except Olivia Wilde in Marchesa and January Jones in Versace - these were beautiful and daring) - and made me also think about what I´d love to see on the red carpet instead of what I have seen before.

These are my first picks - short dresses by Balenciaga and evening gowns by Alexander McQueen.

What would be your choices ?

a beautiful fall

Ida Sjostedt

I´m getting quite tired of seeing almost every single girl trying to copy the style of Erin (although I adore her) and that is probably also the reason why I´m drown to something more feminine and classic lately.

This is something I would love to spend my Fall in. Not too fuzzy but feminine, simple but still beautiful.

What do you all think about "trends", can they make you loath something you loved before?
