lanvin's black dresses

.

there is simply no doubt about the fact that alber elbaz is a creative genius. i'm a huge fan of wearing black, especially to cocktail events. while many people see this as the safe and boring option i'm intrigued and challenged by the possibilities of wearing black. i look for interesting and unexpected details, cuts or embellishments. i dare anyone to think that elbaz's black creations (lanvin fall 2008 RTW) are boring or ordinary. his use of texture, draping, tailoring, attention to details and ornate and beautiful embellishments are fresh, bold and sensual. any woman wearing one of his dresses should feel beautiful. i just have a feeling that his designs are magic, they are the kinds of clothes that makes the wearer feel they are the most charming, witty, sexy, beautiful best parts of themselves. i really do think that elbaz knows what women want, he has something for everyone and looks like a darling too. parisians wear so much black for a reason. it can suit pretty much everybody, it's so versatile. and it's never ever going to be passé.

it feels alright, but never complete....without joy

.

there's nothing i like better on cold clear mornings than looking up and seeing hot air balloons. i'm not sure how freaked out i would probably be if i were actually in one of them, but the sight of colourful hot air balloons, floating, drifting, defying gravity against acres of blue skies just makes me feel really happy. most of these pictures are from the annual Lorraine Mondial hot air balloon festival, it's a beautiful sight.

bubble boy

did you ever in your wildest childhood dreams wish you could create the most enormous bubble known to man-kind? i did. but it's bubbleologist Sam Heath who's actually managed to do it. pretty amazing. it's part science, part fantasy - i love that he's made a career out of making bubbles?! he's definitely someone i'd want at a party.
