something about these posts is significantly shifting my perspective on everything about life and it feels like this year is well and truly to recoup, rest and earnestly give and receive love where it's deserved and that is so beautiful to me. love in all forms is transformative
you hit your 20s and suddenly deep cleaning the house on a sunday morning with the windows open and music on speaker is the ultimate form of peace in kind and soul
what a beautiful way to celebrate your craft, while uplifting someone else's beauty. loved that the client also became a mother during the process of the jewellery creation so it all cycles around her strength and grace as a woman
loving this series that lemaire is doing on the daily life in vietnam. obviously sarah linh is vietnamese, but not many in the luxury or design industry really consider the charm that the country can do for and in fashion, imo this is what quiet luxury could be to me. so charming
i think this is one of the most stunning stills from any films (mùi đu đủ xanh) i've ever had the joy of discovering and watching in this lifetime. beautiful cinematography
"....whether inspired by the rain in southeast asia, or more tropical surroundings of a new landscape.... a road that has been travelled..... a collection where the sensation of freedom and the spirit of adventure converge...." the homage is ..... BEAUTIFUL.
i saw a post about platonic love the other day, and watched a video about someone expressing their gratitude for a pet that came into their lives and it all makes me so sentimental and emotional but so gracious at the same time love really is so great and healing
i think you need to be working hard to find the clothing item of your dreams and then daydreaming about it for three weeks minimum and also imagining where and how to wear it in three ways before making that purchase i'm so serious
obsessed with the "live" keychains at loewe's showroom for their new bag omg. everything moves which is fantastic but the clacking sounds they all make is just...... so great. the clam!!! the CLAM!
someone told me once, like, two years ago that mirror palais was simply a money laundering company because there's no way a filmsy taobao adjacent priarie dress costs $900USD. and everyday of my life i think about that comment whenever i see any of their dresses in tweets LMAO
you didn't read this from me but i would definitely find a way to steal this seated rabbit from the 19th century of the qing dynasty, medium crystal, located in the asian art section of the metropolitan museum of art, if the occasion arose
big thanks to the lady that was waiting for her coffee when i walked by her and she smelt so good i had turn back to compliment her and she pulled out the perfume from her bag to let me smell it for myself and was like "feel free to spray some!" it was byredo super cedar
beauty is so fleeting (full candle burning, new perfume getting used, macarons in a box, new bouquet of flower, morning silence, tea before it gets cold) and yet the fleetingness is what makes it all so charming
"the ao dai is a perfect balance between modest and sensuality. at lemaire, our designs don't reveal too much skin but there's always a twist to our pieces. that idea is the link [i've found] between us and vietnam." my respect and adoration for sarah linh tran skyrocketed
love when runway pieces look like they came from art in some form or manner inspired......once again showing appreciation for iris van herpen SS20 / angel by abbot handerson thayer 1887
i love swans and everything about them so much, depicted in design, or novels or art..... they're just beautiful, gentle, wonderful creatures and i have strangely learnt a lot of my own grace (in the making) from them
i never care about creative directors retiring but the dries van noten news genuinely made me sad for a bit ... but i imagine he knows his worth and legacy, and now just wants to spend time with his loved ones and with his flowers. this is the dream btw
this is a serious question btw but when did sandy liang become such a big hit online because the last "cutesy" (bad description but i can't think of how else to describe it) brand i could follow was shushu/tong. something about sandy's designs is just...why so expensive for what
i can't stop thinking about video of the le creuset executive going "we're VERY pleased to introduce to you all....... shallot" before the audience did their rounds of oohs and aahs as a sheet of wrapping paper was unceremoniously and loudly ripped to reveal the new colour set
loving this kind of interior layout: decorating (a realistic guide) by mary gilliatt / home design and decorating by mary gilliat / vogue paris 1977 by avina_warmtoned on substack
my beloved row half moon bag with a vw bear keychain, a kewpie keychain, a sanrio keychain, a kyoto shrine keychain, a cat in a strawberry hat keychain, and a smiling bokchoy keychain.... super serious stuff
this is MY vivienne westwood nana paradise kiss harajuku shibuya fruits mag pearl hearts sparkles rock punk princess serving "i discovered vivienne in my youth and am now of legal tender age to spend and stand out thanks to the dame" tribute post
bag aside, in asian (eastern?) culture, the etiquette is that you open gifts later in privacy so you don't burden the giver if it's not well received and also is a sign of respect but stella hovering over olivia like that to make her to open it immediately... omg the bad vibes
did anyone else watch the lemaire SS24 show? tell me i'm not imagining the soundtrack to have the bustling and busy sounds of daily life in a city (vietnam?!) like gorgeous clothes as usual but i'm seriously wondering how ingrained the focus was, given the campaign they did too
everytime i see videos of people shrieking and swatting at mice / any unfavourably animal, i just think of that circulated post that went "if i am caught in the wrong place at the wrong time for just being alive i hope i am greeted with some kind of mercy" i get emotional now
anyway can we get a round of applause for these cargo pants(?) i found in my wardrobe from when i was 15..... today's look is bratz doll inspired and i know it's not office appropriate but someone has to bring the brain and flavour i suppose 🫶
i've adored and appreciated this quote by john berger for ages but seeing it visualised into this format alongside the death and life painting by klimt is just *muah* incredible for me i just wanted to share with everyone
love the discussion and concept of designers stepping away from working on clothes to working on their gardens that then reflect inspire collections - dries van noten / oscar de la renta / john galliano / and of course the father of flowers in fashion, christian dior
sometimes i like watching documentaries about the planet and then immediately diving into iris van herpen collections, knowing she takes inspiration from the sensorial elements of nature and then creating as many silhouettes as possible through artisanal effort (SS22, SS20, SS18)
what if the next move is to move away from the metropolitan area into an outskirt, but still close to a community town farm, to raise valais blacknose babies? i think that's the move
did class and then saw a swan unceremoniously glide into the river during dinner. beautiful experiences today kind of a humbling message from the universe i feel
the way she still has an iphone 8 and mentions her glasses are just from venice without brand dropping......obviously has no need to follow suit in trends........oh babey that's quiet luxury and opulent affluence for you. that's my AUNTY!
just tried on a max mara two piece in the boutique and instantly turned into some rich 40-something year old woman that came into family inheritance and retired early omg. i get it now (and i had to acquire it immediately) ready4winter
