♥ word.

if only these fantastic prints and notebooks from dubai-based creative 

 shahir zag were actually available for purchase, 

i think my whole apartment would be

wall-papered in them. 

♥ the world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.

the last time i saw ada the globetrotting doll, she was tumbling around

in one of my handbags, not seeing much of anything except my cat's bed and

the places where i worked and walked. if i had the chance to host her again,

i should think i would bring her to fancier points of interest in boston,

and maybe buy her a new dress while i'm at it.

since her stay in boston, it seems this traveling doll has been very busy.

from the netherlands to south africa, england to milan, miss ada

lives the kind of life real girls could only dream about...

♥ a fool for tulle. part six.

tonight, while watching it happened on 5th avenue (1947), i fell head over tulle-

loving heels for this beautiful black gown worn by young actress, gale storm. 

the asymmetrical neckline is divine, but it is the outer layer of tulle that

 made my heart skip a beat!  in a similar fashion, raf simons recently sent

 out a number of tulle-wrapped frocks for his first ready to wear collection at

 christian dior. it's like two dresses in one.

and here are some of my other favorites, while we are at it...

LOVE!!!
