Dressing Room -- Ballet Inspiration
I am nuts about ballet. So utterly taken with it. More than the polished and elaborately costumed stage productions, it's everything behind the scenes that has me gaga.
Found -- Finery
Santa Barbara based style visionary, Monica Epstein, has just let the world in on her exquisite new creation, Finery.
Controlled Chaos -- Hair
When I moved out of LA almost three years ago, I wasn't under any illusions about making certain conversions easily -- doctors, markets, finding a new car wash... I seem to do pretty well with the big moves (agrees with the gypsy in me) but these other kinds of changes stupefy me. Like finding a new hairdresser.
Once Upon-a... Magazine Tear-Outs
Back in the day, before
blogs + Pinterest + Tumblr + Instagram, we relied on torn-out pages from magazines for
inspiration. Ransacked
pieces of pretty, yanked from their bindings to wreak havoc on desks,
nightstands, baskets, everywhere. Some of them have never made it past serving as bookmarks in newer magazines.
In an effort to get organized, I did at one point come up with the brilliant idea to start a binder, and I recently stumbled onto it...

It looks like I made it several pages in before forfeiting the task... but what I did find inside
still completely inspired me. And as I was going through the images, I was filled with the same rush I must have had
when I hijacked each of them in the first place.
I think these little snapshots we gather, in all their many forms, are such reflections of ourselves that they make us feel understood. Amazing how years and years later, certain ones can still fulfill our visions of dreamy perfection… perfectly.

Meanwhile, despite the arrival of all the new image modes and the ability to store bazillions of photos on a computer -- apparently, I still haven't given up my old reckless behavior...
