Fashion Musings | From the Runway: Georges Hobeika S/S 2014

Had a habit of re-watching all favorite cartoon movies over and over again in younger years. Next to The Swan Princess, Thumbelina was a top favorite. There is something about Georges Hobeika's couture line this spring/summer that takes me back to Thumbelina...the possibility of fairies existing and wearing baby dolls with what seems like vines and leaves running down the fabric, the beauty of dreamy, light colors twinkling in cropped tops embellished with a thousand tiny pearls, and sheer elegant gowns...it could be true that even mythical creatures like fairies inspire us in our every day dreams.

Have had a long standing love affair for all things chandelier and upon coming across these striking images, am utterly captivated by the grandeur of it all....these images and more are all housed within the book, ‘Dior: The Legendary Images: Great Photographers and Dior,’ edited by Florence Muller and newly launched along with the exhibition, ‘Dior, images de légende’ (Dior,the legendary images) hosted by the Christian Dior Museum.

The exhibition features connections maintained over time by the iconic French fashion house with the world of photography through more than 200 photographs from famous photographers who've presented the house in their own vision.

Book will be available June 3 on Amazon.

Visual Vignette: Perfectly Peachy

After falling into what seemed like an extended lull from all the celebrations, am slowly getting back into the routine of things, from writing many, many cards officially in the mail today, to dressing in his & hers & heels at the office - it's time to get back to the reality of packing for an upcoming move, cleaning a purposely messy apartment and a new weekend, soon, dedicated to to-do lists and more birthday and anniversary planning for M and I.

Though busy, have been taking the time to stop and smell the beautiful roses, as seen above from my parents, that sit in my living room, bathing in the sunlight creeping through the patio windows. The bright hue of coral these roses evoke takes me back to a surprise birthday party, which my dear sister had planned and bought a dress in the shade of coral for me to wear, and also reminds me of my love for such a color...in lipstick, in blush, in pretty dresses and suddenly everything just seems perfectly peachy as spring is now officially here.
