Ideally it should really be the other way around but I feel Mr. Wilde may have been correct that this is in fact the more frequent reality. My two recent flower crown bearing, Summer road-trips proved it thus, particularly the last. The surroundings were just too beautiful to be described, other than prior to going in my mind I had ...
I've always said that the best movies you will ever watch are the ones in your imagination. And in Art History we have a tendency to romanticise and over imagine art whilst admiring and especially researching the tale behind the painting in a way that is indescribable. A friend showed me this video entitled Beauty directed by Rino Stefano ...
"Le plus beau vetement qui puisse habiller une femme, ce sont les bras de l’homme qu’elle aime" Paris, 2014 by Paul Franco and Emmanuel Giraud is a beautiful little film for Saint Laurent based on the words the founder once imparted; "The most beautiful clothes that can dress a woman are the arms of the man she loves", after ...
"You think this is just another day in your life, it's not just another day, it's the one day that is given to you; today. It's given to you, it's a gift, it's the only gift that you have right now and the only appropriate response is gratefulness. If you do nothing else but cultivate that response to the ...
Eat me: A feast for the eyes and imagination Edible wonderland inspired by wild bohemian gardens and oils of ornate Northern European still lifes. Magical and infested with candied butterflies. Almond and lavender pound cake with vanilla bean and fresh citrusy frosting that you just want to lick. Strawberries, baby tomatoes and herbs plucked fresh from the garden. Delicious ...
These words are the kind I hear often from almost every meditation teacher I've encountered, as well as my Mom (a total non-meditator). Also I'm pretty sure I've heard it on one of the Kung-Fu Panda movies, so you know these are definitely wise words to live by. But recently I've come across Impossible, fronted by one of my favourite ...
Happy birthday Jesus! (Kind of) So Christmas has come and gone at least in this time zone. And as usual it's the anti-climax. I'm just going to share my favorite part of this holiday; the making of the tree. This year after 16 years of Warehouse plastic that had weathered through it's share of stress of how to be decorated ...
Historians will especially know what I mean, but in your whatever area of interest when you come across a video/exhibition/book where you've absolutely been like OHMYFUCKINGGOD, it's like an absolute intense intellectual orgasm. I just had a mini one and you're about too as well. This just in from my Vogue feed, you're welcome. Will be posting the Dior exhibition ...
Winter is here! And I've resumed my walks at the beautiful Cornwall Park and One Tree Hill, and decided to document it via Instagram. Whatever the weather, I almost usually always go, nothing beats the feel of the chilly wind on my cheek bones, and sometimes even the sun comes out to say Hi.Since exams and most other commitments are ...
Audrey Hepburn, Sabrina 1954 One of my favourite films of all time, Billy Wilder's Sabrina with Audrey Hepburn and Humphrey Bogart with so many memorable lines. Love this amazing scene with Sabrina at the French cooking school, apologies for not being able to find an English version but from memory the ending - encompassing one of the most important ...

The film "Once Upon a Time" by Karl Lagerfield is finally here, released on May 8th in Singapore. Starring the lively spirited Kiera Knightly as Gabriel Chanel. The black and white adds a beautiful dreamlike quality invitng the viewer to Coco's little Deauville boutiuqe through the screen. My favourite part has to be the fictional depiction of Consuelo Vanderilt, she ...

http://www.nytimes.com/2013/04/24/opinion/a-chinese-threat-to-afghan-buddhas.html?smid=fb-shareNew York Times Op-Doc: "A Chinese Threat to Afghan Buddhas ". When I read the paper this morning, (for anyone who knows me knows I skip right to the opinion section_, it really pierced something in my heart. Everytime I hear of art and ancient monuments being neglected or destroyed, it does not bode well with me. I can't help ...
"Celebration of Life" by Miki de Goodaboom. France. Not my usual kind of fashion/art post. My grandmother passed away in the early hours of yesterday but far from being sad - I am overwhelmed with happy nostalgia from my childhood. Her amazing cooking, the stories I would beg from her a million times over and ask to re-tell if ...

What I would have given to direct this big budget wonder, or even just to be there when Grace Coddington and Mario Testino were working their magic with Carey Mulligan as Daisy Buchanon for the Gatsby Vogue shoot. On shelf April 23rd 2013. If the sneak peaks are anything to go by - the spread should be stunning, the set ...
