little darling, start again


Did you know that when explorers first came to the East coast of America, they believed they had discovered the Garden of Eden?

Tonight or Never

I've always felt like I don't belong in modern times, but I'm not exactly sure to which era I do belong. Mostly I feel drawn to the pre-industrial age, but I have some issues with their ideals, particularly those regarding women. So lately I've been dreaming of what it would be like to be born in 1900 and to watch the world shift with each decade.

Of course, then I wouldn't have been able to emulate the amazing styles of the 1960s that I love so much.

Marie Antoinette Heels

Let me Start by saying I loved Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette. I can't decide which scenes I enjoyed more, the ones involving pastries or those involving shoes. Anywho... Christian Louboutin created these limited edition heels as an homage to the last queen of France herself and while the $6,000 price tage is questionable, what else is questionable is whether or not you like them? Honestly, I sort of love them. I think they are so fun to look at and as soon as I saw them my mind was all aflutter about with what would I wear them. I'm thinking little shorts.

I'm curious as to how they chose the "Icons". Carrie Bradshaw made the list? what?
