Inspiration

Sometimes photos make it onto my desktop because they just make me happy. Brigitte Bardot running on the beach, a rare overtly sexy Katherine Hepburn, frilly victorian pantaloines, pretty sculptured dresses, and the coveted Valentino bow clutch(which looks fantastic under the arm). All special and unique in the happiness they deliver to the eye. I hope your eye agrees.

Thank goodness for Dior

Lately, I have found most of fashion, disappointing. Baggy, shapeless t-shirts and dresses, or skirts and dresses that are cute, but too short for those of us over 30ish. Mostly, uninspiring.

Then I saw this photo. Dior Couture. It was like a breath of fresh air. Classic Dior neck and shoulder line, puff skirt, poie de soie, and essence of flower petals cascading as a half train. Yellow shoes play the part of stamens. Brilliant. Bravo Dior.
