BORN ON THE BAYOU

I have a little dream one day to live on the bayou. 

 I suppose I would be that crazy old bat living in the broken down 

plantation home.

People on the mainland would talk about "Poor Lonely Miss Henke

lived and died with her 20 cats".

Children would most likely start an urban legend about how

I was a witch or something. 

*sigh*

In reality that is terribly invalid. 

I always feel the need to fix anything that ages and

I am highly allergic to cats. 

I simply love the style of historic home and 

I am fascinated with the deep south. 

I have always believed that bringing indoor furniture to the outdoors

is a divine trend. 

And that every house in the south (Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama..)

should indeed have a greenhouse. 

Oh and of course anything vintage :)

All in all, I don't want to be cooped up in some creepy old mansion. 

I would like to live in "that grand southern manor" that 

everyone admires. Maybe I will call it after the family name...

Perhaps the "Van Buren or Winchester Manor"

;)

(HAUNT)INGLY BEAUTIFUL

Well due to the fact that it is the best

month ever, I felt like posting about what could

be known as old "creepy" decor and fashion.

I was recently inspired by the show "American Horror Story" 

Everything about that show is creepy and disturbing yet 

beautiful. 

Many of these images remind me of my aunt and uncle's home 

It's basically this big house filled with old paintings, 

vintage portraits, ancient artifacts and chipped mirrors. 

To me, the unsaturated photographs represent a 

tainted love. 

Getting ready for halloween!

More spooky fashionable posts to come :)

Enjoy

BOLD FALL FASHION

I'm back and ready for fall fashion!

So as you all know, I just came back from NYC and 

did quite a bit of shopping! 

I decided to go with bright colors and big jewelry!

I call it the BOLD look :)

Love these earrings, I just don't know how I could 

wear those...

The Celine Bag!

Enjoy!

AUGUST FASHION GUIDE

This month's fashion is a little more casual 

that the last couple of months.

It's about laying back and relaxing, but 

preparing for fall. 

I suggest this look to college students getting

back into the the school year :0

Enjoy!

BLACK AND WHITE ALL OVER

Black and White are counter colors.

They are the only two colors that can hide what's ugly and

make everything beautiful.

They are both appealing to the eye, 

especially when they are together.

Black and White was what they had in the past.

Black and White is classic.

MIXING PAST WITH PRESENT

I love trying to mix old photos with new ones! 

Especially because in this one it almost looks like the men on the deck

are looking at the model :)

Enjoy!

THIRSTY FOR TRUE BLOOD

Ralph Lauren Fringe, Lollia Relax Perfume

Mod Cloth Love-Filter Dress, Fashion Color Plimsoll Sneaker

Ken Downing's Lipstick

I am in love with the show True Blood! I recently started watching 

it last year and am now reading the books (The Southern Vampire Mysteries).

I know what you are all thinking..."Wow... this is probably just another

Twilight..." Lies!!!! It is actually much more interesting and terribly southern! 

(Not to mention... a lot more kinky...)

Anyways, I am obsessed with the main heroine, Sookie Stackhouse.

Though she can be extremely foolish and somewhat dim, I think she is 

too cute! Also I am kind of digging on her southern style ;)

Oh yeah, I'm also extremely jealous that she has these two guys after her...

I mostly have a thing for the one on the right <3

I suggest you guise watch this show and or read the books! 

It's a quick read and I usually finish one within two days or so.

Enjoy!

TRINKETS WE LOVE: PART 2

Trinkets we love give us goosebumps when we see them.

They are everything we have ever wanted or something that 

is a new discovery to us

Beauty is also submitted to the taste of time, so 

a beautiful woman from the Belle Epoch 

is not exactly the perfect beauty of today, so beauty 

is something that changes with time.

TRINKETS WE LOVE: PART 1

It's the cute things in life that makes us smile :)

Little pink skirts, a stack of books, sometimes even a

pile of sponges!

I must say that our lifestyle is a stereotype. 

We like trinkets and knick knacks that are appealing

to our eyes and how they make us feel.

It's the little pretty things that bring joy to a person's

soul

Tank Girl. 

His Post-Apocalyptic inspired comics are well known around the world and

have inspired fashion designers everywhere to create combat battle-esque

clothes.

A LITTLE CHANEL

A Little Chanel is sweet.

A timeless piece of fabric or leather can bring so much joy.

Especially if that piece of leather is a Chanel shoulder bag 

or the Classy Chanel suit ;)
