Fairytale Collection

 

I adore this whimsically, fantastical collection by Dolce & Gabbana {Fall 2014 RTW} - it's Lord of Rings Meets Red Riding Hood, throwing in princesses, foxes, swans, squirrels, owls & flowers - - oh my.  It's too die for!

With Summer coming to a close soon, I don't want to let go of the florals.  This assembled collection is just what I need - so pretty, flirty & feminine!

Nadinoo

 I love this Summer Daydream Spring 2011 collection by Nadinoo - the hand crafted fabrics made with faded floral prints & comfortable light natural colors speak to my fashion aesthetic: vintage inspired, girly & whimsical.

P.S., THANK YOU all for the get well wishes over the past few months - they were soup to my soul.  I have recoved nicely from my surgery & illness (developed pneumonia while in the hospital) & am now feeling great & back to the normal routines with living & work. I will be around to each of your lovely blogs to thank you personally.  Muah.

I adore these whimsical JumpFromPaper bags created by Taipei-based design duo, Chay Su and Rika Lin....they look like hand drawn cartoon sketches.  How cool!
