Fave-Rave Word of the Day #006

SUMPTUOUS
adj. Of a size or splendor suggesting great expense; lavish.


"Colin Blunstone's voice is simply sumptuous, my darlings!"

"Give Them What They Never Knew They Wanted!"

So quoth DIANA VREELAND, my end-all, be-all maverick muse fairy godmother. Seriously, are the above pictures not the most inspiring & uplifting photos you have seen in yonks?




It is like she is commanding you with one of her genius "Why don't you...." -isms

"Why don't you tie black tulle bows round your wrists?"
....because why the hell not?!

Q: What's Black & White & Red All Over?

A: Yesterday's outfit. I felt like a bit of a French mime, but I can get behind that aesthetic.
H&M striped shirt // Blk pants cut into shorts // ripped blk tights // grey h&m over knee socks // Chinese Laundry thigh high grey boots // red thrifted belt // red F21 feather clip

Fabulous Fille: Kelly Wearstler

Interior Decorator, author, tv judge, former Playmate... Kelly Wearstler is effing rad!

A true glamourous eccentric to the core; Kelly crimps & curls her hair with reckless abandon, piles on the jewelry & thinks nothing of donning clothes deemed 'out there'.




Kelly is featured in Simon Doonan's amazing and inspirational tome, Eccentric Glamour. Her parting words?
.........
"I'd like to be gift wrapped for eternity."
