Avant-garde

Image source: Nate Williams
Avant-garde
I met a traveler from a modern land
who said: I used to think I knew
what avant-garde meant, it meant
new art so advanced you can't understand
it, like a chic perfume without a scent.
An avant-garde poem was abstract you
could get rid of commas and capital letters
forget making sense dreams were better
irony mandatory and meaning arbitrary
like poker with blanks instead of cards.
It was intimidating and I remained leery
until I met A. and his avant-garde smile:
“Just do the opposite of whatever's in style,”
he said with a wink when he won an award.
“You see, it isn't so hard to be avant-garde.”

Paul Iribe

Paul Iribe was an amazing french Fashion illustrator. His illustrations for Paul Poiret made him famous, as well as the illustrations for Jeanne Lanvin, and Coco Chanel (whom he had an affair with!)
I love the elegance of his work and the bold, bright colors. His illustrations were simple, clean and delicate. Paul Iribe's illustration of Jeanne Lanvin and her daughter is inspiration for the Lanvin logo still used today.
Here are some of his illustrations:

I had to post it here and show them off :) I love the cute bow and the gold lion detail! It reminds me of Marie antoinette... Yes I'm a Marie Antoinette freak! I did a mini collage, ENJOY!

Spring obsession

One of my favorite collections on the runway this Spring had to be Luella's. I love the bright colors, they're not harsh on the eyes, the tweed blazers put together with ruffle dresses. So whimsical! The entire collection is very ladylike and girly, I love that. There was a lot of florals too, which made the look a little more feminine. (Check out the shoes!) Oh, and those cute fascinators were to die for! I'm dying to make one in orange!
Well, here are some of my favorite looks:

My pretty ugly dress

So, I finally decided to snap a pic of my ugly/interesting dress. I know, i know, it looks like I'm off to meet Wonder Woman or some superheroe sidekick. I still love it :)
I got this piece of work on Etsy about a month ago for $35 tag reads Pantagis, I also received the white 1930's ruffle gown in the mail today, "the white dress".
It looks so awesome in person! I will post pictures soon... If anyone knows of somewhere I can restore this really old piece, please let me know! Its very fragile and has a few rips and tears...
Also, I will post some great thrifty finds soon! so stay posted! 
Oh, and please excuse the state of my hair :D
