Happy New Year!

i am going out with a chorus
i stole from an orchestra
and some pretty shoes from an old box" ©fashionandfables

"In Paris i am only as good as my grand jeté
Rome eyes my profile and plans a seduction
and London thinks nothing but to pick my brains
but in fiction i can embody all and more" ©fashionandfables

I am not much of a Hemingway Fan. But to be honest i can't say i have really tried to make that relationship work. I see a New Year's resolution in the cards perhaps...?
I do remember i took a copy of "The Old Man and the Sea" along to Cuba. But i never finished it, I was a little bored with all the freaking waiting around for some fish that i left the old chap at sea and opted for dry land and a tan! Ernest, did write an absolutely great short story called " Hills like White Elephant" freaking amazing, after all these years, i can still taste the Anis del Toro! Read that in high school.

But i digress. Aside from his literary legacy, Ernst Hemingway passed on some pretty good genes. Readers meet Dree, Dree Hemingway, Ernst Hemingway's beautiful great-granddaughter . Le sigh. Isn't she a sight. Before she took to the runways she was a ballerina! I want to be a ballerina! She is uber super stylish and the star of Halston’s Fall collection! I covet her shoe collection!

Shala Monroque

"Swiftly
in and out of worlds
light on my feet
i dip my toes in a feast
splash around in a prim garden for tea
and walk quietly away from a scene
leaving you with a picture to remember how i dressed the stride"

Yes, the mourning of Katie Grand's departure has been long, very long. There were days when it was hard to get out of bed you know. Or hear the word Pop without wanting to burst out in tears. Oh those days! Thank goodness for good old English Tea! But, i think it's time to bid adieu to all our black attires and perhaps opt for some gray hues? Because the stylish editor-at-large Shala Monroque is oh so freaking fashionable. Dig her hair too! I dig her hair a lot. And she has amazing taste in jewellery and knows how to pick a great colour, did i also mention she looks great in a turban! Wondering if she needs like a side-kick?

Concise Statement

The thing about statement jewellery is that if you are not careful they can get a little too verbose and heavy! Not to mention uncomfortable! Why i love the lightness of these knitted necklaces and bracelets by Orly genger by Jaclyn Mayer . The collection is courtesy of Manhattan-based artist (Orly) and the California-born and New York-based designer(Jaclyn)! I like. i want! I like concise statements!
