Happy Father's Day!


Happy Fathers Day to all the Fantastic Fathers out there ... especially to my very own Super Phenomenal Dad, who I think is the Best (but that's my Personal Opinion) ...

Lady Gaga's Unveils her First Official Fragrance


Multi-platinum and Grammy Award-winning artist Lady Gaga announced today the worldwide release of her first fragrance, LADY GAGA FAME, in September 2012 ...



Gaga claims to have made the first ever Black Eau de Parfum that sprays clear and becomes invisible once airborne, according to a press release today. The fragrance claims to implement a new patent pending fluid technology.


Gaga collaborated with fashion industry legends in the creation of LADY GAGA FAME: the bottle was designed in collaboration with Nick Knight,and the ad campaign was directed and photographed by Steven Klein.

Gaga will shill her new fragrance with an appropriately timed September Vogue cover – the mag’s biggest selling issue of the year. Louis Vuitton photographers Mert and Markus are said to have already shot the singer’s cover, which will mark the second time in two years that Gaga has graced the magazine with her presence.

This is one perfume I cannot wait to add to my collection in September ... just in time for my Birthday!! ♥

Bollywood Dreams

Despite this editorial being featured in Vogue India in October 2007, I find elements of it extremely fitting for the upcoming (or current, if you are in the Northern Hemisphere) Spring/Summer Season...


Model, Gemma Ward is photographed by the legendary Patrick Demarchelier and styled by Lucinda Chambers. 







The shoot is whimsical and the clothes are soft and feminine ... What more can a girl want! ♥

Advice from a Tree ...


I spotted an extract from this poem today, and I liked it so much that I decided to find the rest of it. It's Amazing Advice directly from Nature — I Honestly never knew I could learn so much from a TREE! ...

Advice from a Tree 

By Ilan Shamir

Dear Friend,

Stand Tall and Proud 
Sink your roots deeply into the Earth 
Reflect the light of a greater source 
Think long term 
Go out on a limb 
Remember your place among all living beings 
Embrace with joy the changing seasons 
For each yields its own abundance 
The Energy and Birth of Spring 
The Growth and Contentment of Summer 
The Wisdom to let go of leaves in the Fall 
The Rest and Quiet Renewal of Winter


Feel the wind and the sun 
And delight in their presence 
Look up at the moon that shines down upon you 
And the mystery of the stars at night. 
Seek nourishment from the good things in life 
Simple pleasures 
Earth, fresh air, light


Be content with your natural beauty 
Drink plenty of water 
Let your limbs sway and dance in the breezes 
Be flexible 
Remember your roots

Enjoy the view!

So the next time you need a bit of inspiration ... just look outside for a tree and remember this little poem.

Dancers Among Us ...

I Absolutely Love Dance — it brings my Soul such Happiness! 


By pure chance, I came across this Series of Photographs titled:


'Dancers Among Us'

It is a vast ongoing photography project  led by Jordan Matter, with no digital manipulation used to create the images ...


In the spring of 2009 he began featuring top professional Dancers in everyday situations throughout the United States. 


This Collection will be compiled in a book, which will be released nationally by Workman Publishing in Autumn 2012. All types of places and different enclaves witness the particular ode to this Moving Art, shrouded in the Magic of the Dancers.













Beautiful Juxtaposition ♥


  












 



This is exactly my move when I find the dress I wanted, that is in my size ... and it's on SALE!
