sunday morning thrills

if there was ever a blog to awaken my urge to draw beautiful frilly things it would be http://froufroufashionista.blogspot.com saturday was spent rendering my version of this hot hopeless lingerie number.

airy elegance

a long dress speaks of grace and refinement...

madame grès

madame grès was the sculptress of fashion. Her signature was cut-outs on gowns that made exposed skin part of the design. very clean, yet classical... perfect for summer.

happy friday

Its hot as mars in LA. enjoy a nice pool or the beach.

classic galliano

I prefer the early years of john galliano circa 1993...so feminine with a modern edge.

scarabaeid beetle

a scarabaeid beetle is regarded as 'sacred' by the ancient Egyptians. they are usually made in a ceramic or stone sculpture. personally, I think they make unique jewelry designs.

work reminders

this necklace reminds me of the job i do. kinda cool, pretty intense, but not quite the look i'm going for.

schnabel style

julian schnabel puts so much style and originality into everything he designs. it is evident in his pajama style, artwork, and the look of his NYC apartment.

kevyn aucoin

there was a time in my life when i thought of doing makeup as serious business. without a doubt kevyn aucoin was the most influential for me. sadly he only lived to 40, but made an imprint on my life.

mad hatter

I've always wondered what goes on in philip treacy's mind when he designs a hat. no matter the size or shape, his hats always artfully frame the face of the woman who wears it.

classic philip treacy....

matte nail polish?

any thoughts? I think it gives me the creeps, but it could grow on me.

funny story

this postcard has a funny story behind it. my husband found it in a restaurant in vienna when we were vacationing there a few years ago. this postcard is the splitting image of my sister and i. especially when we get together and make fun of everything and everyone in sight. a very peculiar, but great find.

an anniversary

my sister never seems to be impressed by many wedding dresses, but I thought she might like this yohji yamamoto bridal creation. Happy anniversary to my lovely sis and bro-in-law. Love you!

nobody knows the female body better than azzedine alaia. who else can create clothes that almost fit like a second skin?

call it taboo, but sometimes I see fashion in physical deformities.
