“henry! henry! i can’t find dorothy! she’s somewhere out in the storm!” cries auntie em.

the penn state marching band sends dorothy off to oz, as glinda the Good Witch, looks on.

if i only had a brain
“do you think if i went with you this wizard would give me some?” asks the scarecrow.

oil Me, please
“why, it’s a man! a man made out of tin,” dorothy gasps upon sight of painter John Currin as the tin man.

oh, my!
“why, you’re nothing but a great big coward,” dorothy accuses the Lion. “you’re right,” he replies. “i haven’t any courage at all. i even scare myself.”

the wonderful things he does

chelsea ann: thanks for your lovely comment! i love your blog as well. it’s filled with so many pretty pictures.

you know, i’m constantly drawn to pinks, scalloped details, laces and ruffles.
this jovovich-hawk caroline dress is a dream. it has been on my wishlist since last year.

i cannot help but caved in and bought this dress.

my love for chanel started back in 2003, when i first saw their inspired by ice cream, cruise collection 03/04. the whole collection is really lovely. i remembered it featured a chantilly lace t-shirt embroidered with a strawberry and raspberry coupe de glace, and a dress knotted at the neck like a scarf of foundation crepe de chine printed with the ice cream cocktail design. matching the candy colours of the clothing, accessories are essential to complete the look. the legendary chanel bag appears in tweed coated in ice cream colours. the french fashion house dictated a trend for tutti frutti footwear. i particularly love the dainty open pink sandals dressed with a bow.

i rediscovered chanel back in late 2005, when i was researching for my wedding gown. in fact my tea dress and wedding gown were inspired by their couture s/s 06.

everything is just too pretty. the models looked like fairies walking down the runway. babydolls of embroidered tulle, pastel pinks and teased ribbon or feather hems kept the mood light. chanel used all the pearls, sequins, trims and trinkets of the couture atelier with the lightness perfect for the modern day dresser or even a little girl in a candy store.
