Oh Those Dresses

Image
Dresses.  I don't wear them but I would if one of these came in my size.  I made a Polyvore set tonight of all of the dresses on there that I was simply smitten with.  Though two years ago I fell in love with two certain dresses by Lebonese designer Krikor Jabotian.  I haven't been able to stop thinking about them or how fabulous they are, and they are wedding dresses from him 2012 collection! Is this not THE most awesome, most stunning dress you have ever seen in your life?  If you've been reading you know my love for the colour copper.  And if you couldn't tell, I am also quite partial to the unusual.  I love the materal, the forced waterfall fold across the hip and front and the slight split.  There's absolutely nothing I don't love about this dress! This dress, I would rank second.  I love it as is, but if I were going to wear it, which of course I would want to, then that under skirt would need to be the same length ...

In 1963, someone built my dream home...

Periodically I like to look online for interesting, pre-1980s homes.  I'm really into architectural detailings.  Through my searchings I have found homes with a few stunning details, but everything else sort of falls flat.  And more times than not, the previous home owners did away with all the fantastic flair in order to update the home to a newer, sleeker image.  Which I think is unfortunate because then it looks just like every other house on the market and it simply lacks any personality.  I have also found a few homes that are still in original condition and are truly fabulous, but just aren't my dream home.  But last night, that is exactly what I found.  I was sighing and oohing and in complete disbelief that this home was to be found in my very own city!  It was so perfect, in fact, in my personal opinion, that I became verklempt a few times while viewing the photo's.  I have uploaded some of them to show everything that is wonderful...
