Madonna for Dolce and Gabbana

Madonna looks amazing in this Dolce and Gabbana campaign for Spring 2010.

Library Chandelier

I love napkins with designs on them. Makes me not want to use them though. I think they look better on the wall than on the table next to the food.

Anthropologie catalogs are quite lovely, yet difficult to get a hold of in my experience. I fill out that order form again and again only to get one measly catalog sent to me per year. Maybe they know I don't buy anything. Oh well.

Ah, Victorian decor and libraries. Something I enjoy in pictures, but not in my apartment, not any more, at least. I am someone that tends to get tumbled in with history and old stuff, so I have to stay clear of the antiques and gilded chandeliers for awhile as I am in grandma-taste recovery. As of late, I am looking into a more futuristic setting for my lifestyle. But still, I find some comfort in looking at pictures of old houses and furniture. Reminds me of my Nana.

Cosmic Sailing

I love clipper ships. Wonder what it felt like to sail in them. Probably not pleasant. The ocean is a treachery.

Doesn't this look like you could just crawl inside and sit on that cozy red pillow-looking thing in the middle. The best cubby sofa chair ever!

Starry Night in the Woods

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.

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.

Hope this fur is faux

Giles Backstage

The silver-violet and pink make the models look sickly, but somehow the look is very enchanting. I find the big paperclip thingy in the model to the left's hair is amusing. The golden elephant purse is quite charming.

Sweet, frilly, futuristic dollies with a dash of fierceness

This futuristic ballerina and cage-like skirt with silver foil-ey corset dress ensemble is irresistible like sugar. Everything dusted with fairy-space muse dust.

Castles and Christmas Trees

I bought a white artificial Christmas tree a few years ago and I love it so much I usually leave it up way beyond Christmas season. I break down sometime in March or April with the reason being, that it won't be as special for next Christmas if I leave it up so long. But this year, I'm re-thinking this scenario. Why not leave a Christmas tree up all year? I love the lamps and other decoration in my home all year long and don't get sick of them. Christmas lights and trees are very cozy to me. Hmmm... I'll keep thinking about this.

Cinderella's Castle at Disney World in Florida

Disney's Castles look very similar to Christmas trees. Maybe I could build a miniature castle out of cardboard to place around the tree this year.
