Parisian treats

There are so many blogs out there that focus on Paris Chic, and why not? There is a funny version of it here in America - Shabby Chic. Leave it to Americans to put the word "Shabby" into a style describing classic beauty. It amuses me. I found a few beautiful blogs that I want to share some photos from on this foggy chilly Maine morning

Couture Shoe Heaven

Galliano is such an artist, he is a master, a true honest to god living master. I've not been so impressed with any artist, living or dead since college. That is saying alot because I am an avid art researcher, I read about art every day of my life, I stay up way too late just devouring everything out there. Galliano's recent-ish deparure from Dior was inspiring and brave. (Lee McQueen and Christian Lacroix as well) With these 3 revolutionary designers departing from established houses of French Couture, it's really exciting to think about what is coming.

Shoes are beauty, all girls love shoes. These are so much more than shoes.

Beautiful Inspiration

This weekend has been full of learning, exploring & art appreciation. Its back to the grind in the morning but for now I would like to share with all of you the goodies that have graced my desktop this weekend. From the glamorous genius that is the fashion God, John Galliano to the pillowy, puffy love wafting from a vase of pink peonies, to the art nouveau pinstriped swirls of the movie Cheri... beauty abounds.
