Top Shop Transparent Umbrella with Black Ruffle

I love the elegance that comes with transparency, whites, blacks, greys, and silvers. I could stand to have an entire wardrobe full of these shades, perhaps a whole house. Very cooling and refreshing, me thinks. Of course, with the occasional splash of teal, red, pinks, purples.

Fierce Aqua Eye

Fierce Aqua Eye Look

I'm thinking this could be accomplished with those MAC pigment pot things. and a good brush. and an artistic hand. Would I wear this look? Most certainly.

OPI Silvers

DS Coronation

Birthday Babe

The OPI price tag led me to purchase some equally brilliant silver polish at Claire's instead. Very worth the price at buy 1 cosmetic item get another 50% off. So the polish came to $2. Excellent.

Starry Night in the Woods

Moose and Tea

Moose and Green Tea, no relation of course except for the inspiring effect on me. On a separate note, contrary to what they really are, Moose (Meese?) seem so friendly and good-natured. Green tea subconsciously makes me feel like I'll become more zen and wise by drinking it.

Starry Tent

I'd like to know how Katie did this exactly. It's so magical. How is that gauzy chiffon-like drapery hanging like that? I have made many tent efforts in my time and nothing has looked that much like a real tent. This, this is a masterpiece. And those cut out stars! and the rope lights! I will find a way to do this very soon.

Art Nouveau in We're Back

Art nouveau. My interest in it actually began with the LOTR Trilogy, particularly Arwen's room and Rivendell in general, but the pics online of it aren't very clear. Will post later on that, but for the present, I think these shots from We're Back give a nice example of the style that I like a lot.

Pink Magick

White Magic

Animal Loving

Walt Disney himself couldn't have captured it better.

Trees and Musings

Isn't this a lovely day?

Yes, and it consists of eating macarons from Laduree (mind you, all of this is in my ardent imagination)

Looking at and reading Tim Walker picture books

Snuggling indoors from the cold with a warm set of slippers

Growing a massive tree in the middle of my living room? No, that was a nap.

The Body Shop Wish List

I used to own a very similar product to this make-your-own-perfume set by The Body Shop a few years ago, actually the same thing, just different packaging... It was delicious smelling. I love perfume. I love good smells.

Sakura Gel Pens

As demented as it sounds, I could literally tote all of these pens around with me every where I went. I'd be a journal-writing, doodling hermit, taking great pains to find just the right color to express the feeling and mood of my expressions. Maybe it's better this way.

I am a little bit obsessed with these.

These toes do indeed look toasty. Very fun in a group-look-setting.
