♥ a glimpse of glamour.

there are times when i really dislike the name of this blog,

and then there are times when i see pictures like this

pop up on my facebook feed, and the first thing

that comes to mind is...

... a glimpse of glamour.

thank you, josh, for capturing the very essence of this blog:

finding beauty in unexpected places and sharing it.

♥ see it to believe it.

leave it to legendary designer (& my personal favorite), diane von furstenberg

to be one of the first to bring the technology of the future to the runway 

in a single, fashionable sweep.

 her spring 2013 collection featured richly colored caftans, trousers & dresses 

of all shapes, sizes and patterns, pulled together with wide metallic belts, 

embellished sandals, geometric handbags, and the most futuristic accessory

 of them all: google glasses.

earlier this spring google released the plans for project glass,

 a pair of spectacular spectacles that offers augmented reality-

all of the features you expect from your smart phone,

in the blink of an eye.

in the days leading up to fashion week, dvf herself, as well as a slew of models, 

stylists & sergey brin, (the computer scientist who introduced google glasses to

 the designer), wore the glasses and recorded their comings and goings

in the veritable frenzy that is a dvf fashion show. in the video (below)

you can see dvf check herself out in a mirror, walk the runway,

and tape a lucky coin into the bottom of her shoe-

i am obsessed. she should have her own

reality show for 24/7 inspiration!

♥ happy sunshine day.

these pictures of my backyard kitty friends were taken

just a day after hurricane sandy reared her ugly head.

i have been worrying about how they will do in the rain and snow,

but these kitties are resilient and smart, and they found shelter beyond 

the small pink box filled with hay that blew away during the storm,

and which they prefer to lay on top of,

 rather than in. 

just a reminder to always wait for the sunshine,

because even after the worst of storms, it comes back.
