laugh after all these years...

I hope your weekend holds for you

a lot of

HAPPINESS

And most of all

FRENCH BEAUTY: MARION COTILLARD

The beautiful

Marion Cotillard

is one of my favourite actresses.

I first her saw her in 

La Vie en Rose

playing Edith Piaf...an absolute stunning performance

for which she won the Academy Award...

 the first person to win an

Academy Award for a french language performance.

As the patient, poised wife in

Nine

with Daniel Day Lewis

she was 

mesmerising...

As the face of

Dior

she is exquisite...

And as herself she is

breathtakingly

BEAUTIFUL.

WHITE SIMPLICITY

THE 

ELEGANCE

AND

SIMPLICITY

OF

WHITE...

Soft And Sensual.

Graceful

And

Pure.

TOTALLY

lost in

BOOKS

I've been clearing and finding

books I haven't seen for awhile...

I could have a library full of

fashion books...

that take you to another era...

and some gorgeous images

of today...

I haven't cleared and tidied much today

but I have had a

GORGEOUS

MONDAY

THE BEAUTY OF ART: MATS GUSTAFSON

I adore fashion illustration and for me

the Master of his craft 

is the exceptional

The simplicity and elegance of his art

Such graceful movement...

The delicacy of colour...

His watercolour and pastel fashion illustrations

were first published in

Vogue UK in 1978.

His illustrations are truly timeless

and beyond

BEAUTIFUL
