Forget.Me.Not

For my birthday my mom gave me the most unbelievably special gift. An incredible piece of art. But the thing is… it wasn’t originally art, it was a scarf. A forget-me-not scarf. This is the one I was given, its a little less peach (more cream) in person and its heaven. Its watercolory, bright, and honestly, breathtaking. There are little sketched gems, colorful flowers and butterflies. I mean, its just girly goodness.
I am struggling with framing options. Right now I am leaning towards a bronze finish box frame (see picture right below). Originally, I wanted to frame it in a plexi box but the fabric is so thin, it would not have turned out well (think, drooping and humidity). Do you have any other suggestions before I finalize??? And the best part, its huge!! 48″ x 48″. I cannot wait to have it back and hung in my house.

In the meantime, here are some of my favorite scarves from their various collections. I would be more than happy to have ANY of these beauties framed in my house. I just really think they are too pretty to wear. Click on pictures to see these beauties close up.







Mine was purchased at Barneys, but they do sell some on their website too!

dress for dresses

Isn’t it incredible the purposes that clothing can serve? We wear it. We design it. We study it. We lust after it. We LOVE it.

But it can also be art…








These photographs are not only incredibly beautiful pieces of editorial artwork, the dresses that are in them, are pieces of art on their own.

Can you imagine if these women were just wearing a tank and jeans? Sure, they’d be pretty pictures, but COME ON, the dresses just totally and completely make it.

I really do love dresses more than any other article of clothing. I wear them at every single opportunity I have. Casual, dressed up or formal, love them all. It is a very serious addiction.

Here are some I’ve been watching recently:


Nicole Miller (I know, right?? I was surprised too)

So these dresses might not be editorial worthly, but I really love them. I actually tried on the last one at an incredible shop in Chicago, Sarca but by the time I decided I want to buy it, they sold out. But now, I’ve found it online, and I think I have to own it. Its actually incredible in person. Exposed zipper in the back, totally asymmetrical neckline, crunchy scrunchy black perfection (I am not a fan of the cuts in the sleeves, definitely sewing those up).

Sorry for the rambling post, but dresses are worthy of a serious rambling.
