MAKE FRIENDS WITH YOUR DESTINY

"And there is surprise

In everything the unseen moves

The sky is not an enemy

Destiny is our friend."

- William Rankin

WORK WORK WORK

‎"I like the struggle of my work. 

I like that it's ridiculous 

and that it matters to me 

for reasons I can't even verbalize eloquently." 

- Renée Zellweger

STRETCH FOR GREATNESS

"Be free all worthy spirits, and stretch yourselves

for greatness and for height."

- George Chapman

NATALIE PORTMAN FOR MISS DIOR CHERIE

The most darling thing ever.

Long awaited, finally unveiled: Natalie’s campaign for Dior Beauty. The photo, taken by (who else?) the magical and fantastic Tim Walker, is so innocent and precious, that it’s disappointing how the media has been touting the crass headline, “Natalie Portman Topless!!”. But I do eagerly anticipate the television commercials, directed by Sofia Coppola (another favorite of mine), who, along with the Black Swan star, is getting much applause forSomewhere, her film taking place at the Chateau. It is going to be quite an awards season for these two, and indeed for fashion lovers everywhere. (And as a fashion PR, I am nearly coming out of my skin for the Golden Globes surprise coming this Sunday… stay tuned!!)  Ahh!

GIVE OTHERS A SENSE OF EASE

Here's to striving 

to make others feel 

safe and comfortable

and find a sense of ease.

2011: IN IT TO WIN IT

NEW YORK PRE-FALL 2011

"Come said the wind to the leaves one day, 

Come o're the meadows and we will play. 

Put on your dresses of scarlet and gold, 

For summer is gone and the days grow cold." 

-  Folk song circa 1880

SPELL OVER YOU: UNCREDITED EDITORIAL

Beauty emanates from every word that you say
And captures the deepest thoughts
In the purest and simplest of ways

But you see
I'm not that graceful like you
Nor am I as eloquent
But just a simple melody
Can change the way that you see me
And right now...

I have you
For a moment I can tell I've got you
Cause your lips don't move
And something is happening
Cause your eyes tell me the truth
I've put a spell over you.

All my life I've stumbled,
But up here I am, just perfect...

Perfect as I'll ever be.

- "Spell" by Marie Digby

P.S. Can anyone help me credit these beautiful shots?
