~* making me feel beautiful *~

I found this delicate little lace dream from Paris, from the Le Bon Marché – arguably the most beautiful department store in the world. I only discovered this jewel this spring but shall definitely return…

At the lingerie department, the fitting rooms were furnished by crystal chandeliers and Venetian mirrors… There was a kinda reception with two lovely ladies helping you out so you don’t need to go wandering around the store in the little number you were trying on, should you need a better size or something…

Yikes, every woman knows the inconvenience I’m talking about. But at Le Bon Marcé, each fitting room (salon, really) has an INTERCOM with which you can CALL for assistance.

So there in the privacy of my little salon I asked myself. Do you really NEED this lacy underthingy?

The answer, obviously, was NO. A bit fat no.

But it made me feel so beautifullll…You know, how oftentimes it’s what you wear under that makes all the difference…

So ladies can you blame me… I brought my LaceDream home anyways.

And it works like a charm. Every time I wear it I’m ready to hold my head up high and face the world with a smile ♥.

~* moonstone tiara *~

The wonderfully talented Mo Puccino has designed a tiara, especially for me!!!

It’s a unique piece, simply divine. I could attach it with a lace ribbon… Mmmmmm and I have just the perfect dress to wear with this! A find from Paris; an airlight softwhite silk dream with uneven fay hemline, that 1920’s silhouette that I love so, with handembroidered lace details… Oh I’ll try to photograph it for you soon my friends.

I’m one happy cat today. Purrrrring like the cat goddess Chaolin, who got to pose with my beauty first:

~* Shake your tailfeather *~

Dear friends, let me share with you a very practical piece of advice. That’s a word – practical – you won’t hear from me too often. So enjoy… As this really is. Practical.

So. How to shake it off. When sleep won’t come at night. When all you have the strength for is sleep. When hurtful words cut deep, and stay within your heart. When you’re alone. When you can’t find your direction anymore.

Just shake it off.

Literally. Physically. Shake. It. All. Off.

This summer, for the first time in my life, I couldn’t sleep. I’d toss and turn with my demons until the exhaustion of morning, week after week.

Until. I started to dance. I shook, shook, shook my butt off, at best three classes per day. Until every last trouble had been shaken off my soul, to the floor of that dance studio.

The key is not to stop before you can’t remember your own name anymore. 

And… I found my longlost friend, sleep, again.

As far as those demons are concerned… They still pay me a visit from time to time.

I invite them to the cabaret.

~* haywire *~

When absolutely everything has gone haywire. When you find yourself tangled up & tumbling down.

This photo was taken when I was most lost and alone. And my friend in the picture, made all the difference.
A moment and a day, kindness, tears and laughter, I shall always remember.
To Allu and Hanski.

Friendship is.
