Inspirations

Three generations of Fabulous: my grandmother, great-grandmother, and father







"the Kiss" --Klimt


Florence of Florence and the Machine


Mother Monster

Dita Von Teese



Lana Del Ray

Thought I'd share some of my inspirations.  Most of these have been constant mind-sparkers for my entire life...a few I've only recently learned about, but I suspect they'll stay with me for awhile.  ;)

I hope these few images pave the way for you to create today!  As some of my favorite lyrics from Florence and the Machine go...


(This image [of my eye haha] was featured on my Instagram recently.  Follow me!!  @Spritzy88)

In closing, my favorite SS 13 collection: Dolce & Gabbana.

le Chapeau Fabuleux



Remember my lovely little fascinator?  *sighJ'adore... 
My own family (one side) makes terrible fun of me and rolls their eyes, but strangers seem to love my hat as much as I do!  :)  Or maybe they just like the cajones it takes to wear feathers on one's head in the middle of the afternoon...either way.
I also love being able to wear fishnets in the middle of the day...these are backseamed, too.  Mmmm sexual...but not slutty! since they're layered over black tights.  (...right?)



Love love LOVE the texture of this stone brick wall...I need to remember this location: it's gorgeous and photographs ridiculously well!  (Even if I don't photograph as well...*sigh*)


Selfie...sorry...but it's the only photo where my layered tights/fishnets are discernable.
So I found this Vera Wang tunic at my local Goodwill (woo!) and layered it over a flirty, ruffly skirt to create a very 60s silhouette.  I looked in the mirror and was reminded the feather-trimmed LBD worn by Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's.  Yay!
And my necklace and bag are certainly Chanel-inspired.  Love them!
