SECRET GARDEN

{Dress}Yoana Baraschi(c/o), {Shoes}Shoemint, {Earrings}Asos

This past fall I had the opportunity to visit the beautiful and inspiring showroom of Yoana Baraschi.  Her collections are full of amazing fabrics, architectural silhouettes and exquisite color.  When I first laid eyes on this white confection I fell in love with it and it has been on repeat this spring and summer.

BEAUTIFUL ABANDONMENT

There is something truly beautiful about discovering a place that has been left behind.  Though they are no longer inhabited, the foundation, history and architecture remains with a story to tell.

DAYS OF HEAVEN

{Skirt and Top}via Cheap Thrills Vintage, {Heels}Ann Taylor, {Eye Wear}Thom Browne via Black Optical

As a set decorator, I am on a continuous journey to discover things that both inspire and move me.  As I have shared before, the Tall Grass Prairie in Pawhuska, Oklahoma is a place I return to time and time again.  I have now been there to behold the beauty of each season and I have come to the conclusion that the winter season is my favorite there.  With fields of gold that welcome the warmth of the sun and seem to dance in the wind it is a truly spectacular sight to behold.  Perhaps it is enhanced by winter's light and austerity.  It is a place where I feel a spiritual connection, experience inner peace and I leave with a renewed spirit.
      

On this day, the visual masterpiece of  the film "Days of Heaven" is re-imagined.  So come along on this magical, cinematic and poetic journey.

FAVORITES OF 2013

What a year 2013 was! It was full of excitement, struggles and a wealth of life lessons.  It was also a year of life changes..the biggest being when I quit my job to begin pursuing my dream of being a set decorator for films.  I am so excited to embark on this new journey with you on my blog and chronicle my love of fashion, vintage, set decorating and beautiful places that I hope inspire you.  If you have a dream I encourage you to pursue it this year...life is about recognizing our hearts greatest desires and going into the unknown.  Thank you for your support and I can't wait to see what's in store for 2014!
