"Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker"



"Bring me all of your dreams,
You dreamer,
Bring me all your
Heart melodies
That I may wrap them
In a blue cloud-cloth
Away from the too-rough fingers
Of the world."
The Dream Keeper, by Langston Hughes

The art of dressing is one of many dimensions. Especially if it is for an occassion. We look in the mirror, button up a shirt, straighten out a smile, tame our stray hairs, take a deep breathe and walk away. Only to come back to the same reflection to pout our lips, sway ever so slightly to the right, second guess decisions, bring on addictions, go for second, third or maybe even a fourth glance. Eventually, we are pleased; we have perfected a look; created a dream, all of course for the purpose of one day holding one that keeps longer.

And the very ridiculously beautiful Chanel Iman captures that perfectly in this shot. it's gorgeous. Oh to dream. to dream
