Today, We Weave. Or, We Have Woven?

Hair to pair with the whimsical, delicate romance of my last post...


The original braid crown that caught my eye. An updo for any occasion.


I can only imagine the total time this look took. I might be surprised, considering my personal threshold for hair details. This hair style could be paired with any outfit and look wonderful. However, let's make sure it has no potential snags, as it could cause a world of hurt.


Slick, thick hair pulled back and then wrapped with itself. Genius. Completely sleek and classy while being modern and even a bit alternative.


This reminds me, for some reason, of daisy crowns. Intricately hooked within the next piece...

Whimsically Delicate

This wardrobe. To die for. I wish I could recall who created it but who knows if the photographer even originally credited them. The light textures and cremes. It's so whimsical without being overpowering.

I want to collect amazing wardrobe to wear every day. It's so much easier to look fabulous instead of ridiculous when all your clothes are a little bit "much" for everyday wear.



As if everyone just walks around in boots and the classy equivalent of hot pants. Oh, if only.

Objects of Desire, Gucci

My blog is going to move in the direction of inspiration photos and artwork that inspires me. If it interests you too, awesome. Let's get inspired together. However, one problem with this is that I no longer remember half of the people who made these images. Most of them were found on MM and Flickr. If you know who worked on any of these photos, please get in touch and I will credit them accordingly.

Today, a beautiful black lipped model with a perfect wave of hair. This photo was inspiration for a look I did with Nicole Brockway and Maddi Caligari for the Vorpal Images Gasoline Glamour shoot. I think of it often while working on makeup. So clean and classic, yet with a bit of edge.

Black lipstick recommendations as per my personal opinions and those of other fabulously talented makeup artists:

Lip minx by Mac
Black lipstick by Barry M
Shu Uemura is said to have one, but I have yet to locate it...
