Antique Lace

  
Victorian Lace blouses are a thing of beauty.
Delicately detailed with hand embroidered net bobbin lace & intricately pin tuck pleated.  


   It  amazes me how something so delicate could have such longevity.

Days That Last Forever


Today marks the beginning of my most favorite time of year. Labor Day being the last "beach holiday" after today the beach is unpopulated. I can walk for miles along the ocean and not see a single person.
From now until Christmas (that's when the snow birds start to come down) I have the beach to myself. 

 
Quite, still and pristine.
My own private seaside sanctuary where time stands still and the days last forever.

Chantilly Lace


  By the sea in a sheer wispy Chantilly lace dress. 
The warm waves lapping at my toes, salt in my hair and the sun on my face. 
I love these long summer days that seem to last forever.

A Walk Before the Storm

Playing on the beach as a storm rolls in. A faint rumble of thunder in the distance. Clouds so close I can almost taste them, the light was pure magic.

♡ Braid Day!! Braid Day!! ♡ Le French Braid ♡

  The trickiest part of french braiding your own hair is to figure out a way to hold three strands of hair with just two hands.

!!!!! Sending out an S.O.S !!!!!

  ph.  zorian  

I’ve been using Maybelline Lash Discovery Mascara in Brownish Black. It is perfect, the bush is Tiny and made of bristles, not rubber. I can get every little lash coated evenly with out poking my eye out. I'm in love with it and quite monogamous when it comes to my beauty products!
I went to the store to restock and it seems they are replacing my trusty beloved mascara with a huge wall of new choices none of which I am familiar with. Do you have any recommendations that might point me in the right direction. Trial and error is some what frustrating and any input would be greatly appreciated

Diamond in the Rough

  ph.  zorian  

I was out treasure hunting and stopped into a tiny thrift store. Jam packed with odds and ends this thrift store was organized like a yard sale gone wild. Random things crammed and piled here and there with hand written price tags attached by safety pins, tape and colorful yarn.  

As I made my way into the clothing “area” my spidey scenes began to tingle. Like a predator honing in on its prey I scanned. Moving in on an overburdened clothing rack in the corner. Half buried and hidden on this crowded rack I found a sad little knee length dress. I wrestled it from the wrack for a closer look. Bingo!! Gold Brocade now glistening in the the dim florescent light, this dress was so mine! Boned bodice, strapless, fully lined, bandage fit, it had all the ingredients for an amazing little number. 

So I paid and rushed home, I was now on a mission. Busted out my scissors, needle, thread and some coffee. After some minor surgery this sexy gold brocade body con mini emerged, shimmering and sparkling in the sun light, my little diamond in the rough.
