I talked to the characters and answered YES! to lots of what they were asking eachother....

I watched this horrible movie with cowboys and dust and snakes eating cowboys in a dusty river and I was too disgusted to go to bed, so I watched this scene to quiet my soul.
It performed the quieting task so marvelously I thought it might do the trick for other souls needing quieting.


Elizabethtown

Oldie but still Good!!

Vampire Weekend, one of those good old solid bands. Me and my sister think its funny to imagine how they made this video...i love the drummers!!

And the royals are not all lost to the past...

Our lovely image of the day comes to us from Sweden, where the Crown Princess Victoria is celebrating her marriage to Daniel Westling.
Fanning her gown on the red carpet...such a gentleman!
Love his Dashing Librarian sorta look, its great to see the Princess look so happy. I hope things are just as beautiful for them in life as the wedding appeared to be. Unfortunately, did not love her wedding gown from the front, but the back is impressive, and you can get a sense of the pomp and circumstance.

Positive Rebellion

Those who say breaking all rules is good are foolish. Rules allow life to be lived. Rules improve our comfort level, our abilities, create space and possibilities where there was jumble.

However, some rules are useless. Or they are subject to successful breakage.

My example:


Everyone knows suit jackets and button-ups are to be worn with nice pants. But here we have a man laughing in the face of rules and proving them wrong. He looks so perfectly marvelously confident and impeccably dressed in his camo shorts.
Now, do notice he didn't break all rules: he is in good shape, well groomed and shaved, the clothes fit correctly and (maybe most importantly for this to look good) his posture is very erect and straightforward.


This lovely gentleman impressed me and gave me something to think about. I hope it is mutual.

Runway Resort 2011

Ahh, Resort season in the fashion world. Those summery, kinda-realistic styles that you can ALMOST imagine the cool girls wearing on warm nights in the cities.

Here's a few highlights:


This is something I'd generally hate, but Abbey Lee looks so peacefully beachy I'm crazy about it:

(that was curtesy of Chanel, you really should go through the whole lookbook, it changes styles several times while keeping the same relaxed feel, Lagerfeld is master.)

Tibi goes for some fresh colors:



Rag and Bone tries some edgy summer dresses:



Yves St. Laurent and the best summer ruffles I've seen;



Dior went really Barbie, which usually I love, but this time left me a bit cold:



Chris Benz, something striking:


Oscar De La Renta, something classy with a bit of fun:



DKNY, really I only put this cuz I love the styling of the hair and makeup:

My favorite!

Can't tell you how many times i've watched this movie, I just know I'm never tired of it.
And I don't show you her in these scenes, but it stars the breathtaking Grace Kelly. Go watch High Society!

I think I'm the only person who'll love this...

...but that's because I get it.

Laugh, farm kids!!
