Beauty in Chaos

The Boy and I just bought our first house 6 months ago. This was really just the first step in making a little corner of the world one that we could call our own. We have been swamped with renovation and decorating projects since.

As a result our house is rarely spotlessly clean. For a neat freak like me this can be a little overwhelming.

In moments of panic I try to look closer and see some beauty in the chaos. Here is some that I found the other night:

I'm pretty excited to show you this last picture. It's the sneak peek at my early Christmas present from The Boy. It's a 1950's kitchen table set that was in his Opa's basement that I fell in love with earlier in the year! It's so beautiful! The chairs have been recovered (I hear the original vinyl was in bad shape) but I love it anyway! I'm so excited to have been given it!
I promise to post a picture of the whole set in it's wonderful glory soon!

I've also got another "One Dress, Three Ways" post in the works! Stay Tuned!

Happiness

Happiness
When one's spiritual needs are met
by an untroubled inner life.
Happiness comes when your work and words
are of benefit to yourself and others.

Victorian Fashion (Part 2 of 3): Inspiration

I've compiled some images here which I find moving and inspiring.
They're all modern photos. I toyed with the idea of posting some antique drawings and photos, but I think due to the nature of my own style (which is I feel a good mix of old and new) I decided to show you modern fashion photos with a victorian feel.

Enjoy!

I've had this image on my computer for a while now and I can't for the life of my remember where I've plucked it from. Mostly I like the striped stockings and corst.

If you're a fan of Project Runway then you will recognize this dress. I personally don't have cable, so don't follow it. I did however see this episode online and LOVE this dress. I want to wear it somewhere!

Renee Zellweger's 2009 Golden Globe Dress. Some people may not like it, but I love it. End of Story.

I found this on a random Google search. It's from Plastik Wrap on Etsy. I'm not sure exactly what it is about this look that I like, but something about it grabbed me. What can I say?

                                

This is my favorite image here.This is The Holly from Topsy Turvy Hats. I would like to own every hat they have! If you follow no other link on this post follow that one  (Kim, I know you'll love these!). I promise you won't be dissapointed! I want this photo hanging in my house somewhere.

Stay Tuned for the last installment of the Victorian Fashion Series!!

Outfits: The Reveal!! (Saturday's Dress!)

Thank you for bearing with me for this seemingly long absence (it's actually only been 4 days since my last post, but that really seems like forever in the blogosphere doesn't it?). It's been kindof a crazy weekend!

Firstly, our camera malfunctioned on Friday and wouldn't work (we took it back Sunday. Thank God for Costco's 90 day return policy on electronics!!). So I feared that I wouldn't be able to show you Saturday's party outfit! Thankfully The Boy's Parents lent us thier camera. Which we forgot at home in our rush to get to the party on time. So Stupid! So the pictures here are ones we took in the wee morning hours after much partying and a little gin and tonic!

Also, Dave (our 5 month old boxer puppy) started teething this weekend, so much puppy-proofing was in order! Poor little dog, he's got a sore mouth. He's lost 5 teeth since Sunday (not counting the ones I'm sure he's swallowed during the day while we're at work).

Anyway, without furthur ado, here's my fabulous party dress:

It's late 40's/early 50's. Black Taffeta. It was a big hit at the party! I was so excited to wear it!

I took inspiration for my hair from the Girly Dita photos. Since my hair is quite a bit shorter than Dita's I had to do a little improvisation. I quite like how it turned out (although I'm not sure this photo does it any justice).

Here's a shot with my coat and clutch. The coat is a wool blend 60's jacket with dyed fox fur. It's so delicious! I want to wear it everyday! The clutch is a favorite of mine. I use it alot!

Earrings: Vintage

Dress: Vintage

Shoes: Le Chateau

Fur Collar Coat: Vintage

Beaded Clutch: Vintage

The Boy insisted I take a few photos of him in the hall. In fact, I think I took more photos of him than he did of me! Thanks for indulging me in this very wordy post! So I'll leave you with this:

The End.
