PRIM + PROPER

I've always been a fan of more classic cuts and vintage styling, so for fall I'm dreaming of dressing myself up in pieces like these and spending crisp sunny days lounging in English gardens

Amazingly enough, this editorial is from October 2004... funny how things grow on you, isn't it? The ladylike sensibilities of this styling is stronger than ever for fall this year, and I for one am a huge fan. Design seems to be simplifying and going back to the classics more and more these days...

    Real simple also did a nice spread this month on the "ladylike" look, more a la Mad Men than English countryside. Still beautiful and enviable :)

    It's true, sometimes fashion is to forward for the moment, and we smart ones, wait for the moment to reveal itself again when we are ready.

    Cheers!..to find our own style.

    These vignettes are so alluring and romantic, that it almost makes me wistful for cooler days, even though in the southern hemisphere we are springing into days of cherry blossom and golden billowing wattle flowers! Such an elegant collection - beautiful!

    The grandoise feeling created by the light coming in through that giant window and the painting is just to die for.
