- Avid reader of mostly true crime and Stephen King type novels with a healthy mix of Chick Lit (Shopaholic anyone?)

-I may work in the fashion industry, but I have the most boring wardrobe of all black comfy leggings, sweaters, flats, and oversized tops (and I like it that way)

-I have little to no desire to get dressed up and go out clubbing (or whatever else the rest of the world thinks people my age should be doing... all about that Netflix and no bra)

-I love the idea of traveling, but in reality I am a total home-body. But that’s not to say there are not some excellent trips planned in the not so distant future…

- On that last note, I buy amazing heels I know I will just wear in my bedroom once for 5 minutes and put back on a shelf to admire

Fashion Love Affair

I wish I could remember when I found these pictures. For some reason 2004 sticks in my head but I could be totally off on that. I do remember  where I was and how my bedroom was laid out. I remember all those little details. I was just starting to get into magazines and I was flipping through some glossy high fashion pages and I saw this photo shoot. I have tried searching the great and mystical google machine but I can't find the editorial these photos belong to. (These pictures I saved at least 4 years ago on my external hard drive and I forget the magic combination of words I put into Google search for them to appear). For some reason I feel like it was Vanity Fair (at about that time I thought that and Vogue were the be all end all of fashion magazines). 

It was the  greatest photoshoot I HAD EVER SEEN. I adored it. I ripped those pages out and they stayed in a purple art box for years. I thought they were worthy of a Queen or a Goddess. I would find them over and over again when I cleaned my room and they have always stuck in the back of my mind. I have never even thought about throwing them out. I still think they are gorgeous. The origionals are still sitting in that exact box in my studio. 

It is funny how some things stick around or stay in your head. I think a lot about these pieces and this shoot when I am designing. They still influence me, almost 10 years later. 

I want to say this was when I started to love fashion, but that isn't the truth. I didn't even think about fashion as a career option until I was 21. I have always loved unique and beautiful photoshoot that look  more like art pieces than magazine editorials. These three pictures were and always will be in my top 5 favourite shoots. I wish I could find the origional (if anyone knows PLEASE TELL ME FOR GOD SAKES!!!). 

I just wanted to share these with you guys!!!! Hope you love them as much as I do!!! 

I feel like this may be a Christian Lacroix...? 

** I do not own these!!! I wish I could give credit but, as I said above, I can't remember what magazine it is from!!! All I know is that Naomi Watts is rocking those dresses

The Dark Mother

Found this super cool piece on tumblr tonight....It's called " The Dark Mother" by Anthony Clarkson. Love the creepy little kids!!!
