whimsical inspiration

This post comes a day early but I won't have time to post in the morning 2/14/08 because I will be in NYC. I don't care if its halmark-ized, Valentine's Day is the best excuse to wear ludicrously girly outfits and eat lots of Lindt chocolate and candy hearts.

The bouidor look was all over the runways although most notably at Jovovich Hawk, BCBG Max Azria, and Marc Jacobs. It's all about being undone with bra straps and even underwear showing. For real life interpretation let a lacy, ruffly slip peek out from under a dress and look for tops with a corset type shape.

Thanks to the modern Marie I've finally check out Eleni's Bakery. These adorable cookie sets are available for $59.

Oh by the way I read a very cute idea in Domino magazine, to grow a flower out of a perfume bottlewith a stopper. I don't have a picture but it looked so Parisian and chic.bas
