Favorite of the Day

I'm going to say that Annamarie's blog opened my eyes to her sense of fashion taste and I love it!. I'm going to blog fashion of what I like, just to say- I like Victorian fashion too and the flapper eras, but my roots are boho.

Jemma Sykes is an award winning knitwear designer and a graduate from the Royal College of Art. The dress is called "The Elizabeth" and is entirely hand-knitted in 100% by Jemma Sykes certified organic wool. It was created for ethical fashion label Butcher Couture and the photos are from the album artwork of Maria Mena- Cause and Effect. The dress was displayed at Harrods until it was donated for auction at a breast cancer charity event. I'm in love with this dress as well as the images. Isn't this dress magnificent?

Gia Carangi


Yesterday I was asked by my best friend Izzy on my favorite models, of all categories practically, undiscovered, established covergirls. You all know who I like, i know i sound silly saying "you all" but I usually don't follow blogs by publically following, clicking the button, so I know people out there follow mine-silently, maybe? I've mentioned the undiscovered, I've seen many-love many. Of supermodels, you know Coco Rocha, (love her most!) Behati Prinsloo, Lily Donaldson, Sasha Pivovarova, Gemma Ward, Georgina Stojilkovic, Cathereine McNeil, Ana Mirage, Rekaisha, Stam and that bit. And all models in between!

Izzy asked me what my favorite model of the 70's was. I'm going to have to say Gia Carangi.

At age eighteen, Gia Carangi was one of the top models of the late 70's, gracing the covers of Cosmopolitan and Vogue, partying at New York's Studio 54 and the Mudd Club, and rising quickly to prominence. She was the darling of the rich and famous, the object of adoration by many in and out of the fashion world. By the time she turned nineteen, Gia had already rocked the industry.
Gia was also a girl living with a lot of demons, desperate for her mother's love and approval and a drug addict on a tragic slide toward oblivion, who started going directly from $10,000-a-day fashion shoots to the heroin shooting galleries on New York's Lower East Side. Eventually banned from modeling, Gia entered a vastly different world on the streets of New York and Atlantic City, and later in a rehab clinic. At twenty-six, she became one of the first women in the US to die of AIDS, a hospital welfare case visited only by rehab friends and what remained of her family.
For me, Gia is the ultimate beauty- her street-smart attitude and coolness with a touch of vulnerabilty in her eyes, the self-destruction that was in her make me shiver and bring tears to my eyes.

Gia is played by Angelia Jolie known especially in America, but known all over for acting. She played Gia in the 1998 television movie "Gia" and Mila Kunis- known as Jackie (not lying, theiving jackie baba) but Jackie burkehart in the world known tv sitcom, That 70's show, played young Gia.

Fashion is the Only Cure

Nature's Mermaid or Medusa?

I saw Annamarie's blog for the first time in a long time, and what do you suppose? I saw her comments replied to an Ashleigh from http://fashionistheonlycure.blogspot.com/ they were talking about Annamarie putting a picture from Ashleigh's blog on hers, and how Annamarie knows all of these models, (Ashleigh's fave is Behati Prinsloo). Ashleigh promotes this site called

Pencil shavings.

http://thefinderskeepers.com/ great artwork! I know Annamarie loves Victorian artwork or fashion inspired artistry. I am also a lover of art, so is Ashleigh apparently.
