ready to build a dreamhouse, who's with me?

all images scanned from a favorite book of mine, "woodstock handmade houses"

un'altra bambina!

monday again

from new york times magazine ages ago.

mantilla

the cut reported on daphne guinness wearing a mantilla - which i lauded.

above is her out & about in the mantilla & a vintage 90's american vouge interpretation.

just becuase

love, love, love this spread. and every other spread in american vouge's december 1994 issue -the issue that made me want to be a fashion designer, ha! (not kidding, after looking at that issue i started looking into fashion colleges.) bring back the magic, vouge!

who are you - a decor dilemma

not just a decor question, but a life question and i can't decide - sleek or cluttered, busy or open...is it possible to have both? must say, the tiled kitchen is my favorite though (it belongs to silvia fendi and is in their home on the italian island of ponza, sigh).

**all images scanned by me from back issues of house beautiful, vouge, W, los angeles times magazine & an italian magazine i can't remember

love it

valentino's spring 11 collection took a page from my heart. and i was just going on about how awful the shows have been...
