Spanish Moss

I recently stumbled upon the coolest site...

Spanish Moss specializes in vintage collections, artisan designers, and in house ready-to-wear. A tightly curated collection of all things inspiring, Spanish Moss draws inspiration from owners Vincent and Suzanne Ford-Carafano's travels and love of searching out and collecting vintage and artifacts. Suzanne is inspired by her travels across the American landscape, folk art and 60s French films. Vincent gains inspiration from his time spent traveling in India and his youth spent on the Mexican border. (paraphrased from "About" Via Spanish Moss site)

Below are some of my favorites from a recent look book. (Sorry for the lousy image quality as they were screen grabs.)  I guess you could say these looks are all about an eclectic bohemian sensibility playing with found fabrics, (fringe!) and textures...

























What's your favorite look?

They also have a blog you can follow for fresh inspiration on "Avante-Garde for the every day".

PS: I will be doing a follow up post soon showing my absolute favorite pieces from the site that are on my (fantasy $$$) wish list!

Fantasy Friday

I am totally swooning over these colored wedding (yes I said wedding!) dresses by Japanese designer Stella de Libero! These frothy macaroon-colored confections recall French frivolity at its finest in the manner of Marie Antoinette....


I absolutely love the styling- right down to the wigs and hair pieces! 

 And how gorgeous are these sets? Just goes to show you what home magazines already know... loads of fresh flowers do wonders for a photo!



Love the modern-day Versailles backdrop....





Scenes from Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette (2006):
