Just as decadent as i imagined, if a little bit more crowded (although one expects it would have been tres crowded back in Louis XIV's time too). Filled with lovely wingback chairs, interiors to make your heart melt, and long, long corridors that stretch out far into your dreams.
A: We've come to worship at your temple, haven't we?
Me: Yes... Yes we have.
Oh, and Brigadeiro asked these questions on her blog today:
1. How did you first arrive on my blog?
you sent me a lovely comment to which i replied with a comment that was, if memory serves me, about 12 paragraphs long haha. But i just love seeing your gorgeous wedding dress and all your beautiful clothes every day!
2. Who are your favourite designers?
For wearing: I love Consuelo Castiglione at Marni at the moment, her stuff is interesting and eccentric and very chic, Chanel for classics, Yves Saint Laurent the old stuff and some of Pilati's new stuff, Dries Van Noten (mmmm you put me onto them!), Alber Elbaz at Lanvin and Acne (or Lanvin for Acne haha), Christopher Bailey at Burberry, especially the last couple of season (that english summer season is LOVE), Stella Mccartney, Vanessa Bruno and, of course... Olivier Theyskens *heart*.
For watching and admiring from afar (could never pull off these clothes): Christopher Kane is a genius, as is, at times, Gareth Pugh, I also really love, of course, Nicholas Ghesquiere at Balenciaga and Hussein Chalayan, who Vogue UK tells me is the most 'cerebral' designer.
3. How old are you (if you don't mind my asking)?
18. :)
4. Are you studying/working? If so, in what?
Yes, just started uni doing a Bachelor of Media Communications/Arts in English, History and French.
5. What country are you from?
Australia.
6. What would you like to see more of on this blog?
I would LOVE to see a post about your wardrobe, how you catalogue all those amazing clothes of yours, how you keep your shoes. would maybe give me inspiration to get my wardrobe (read: piles of clothes on the floor) into shape.
7. How would you describe your style?
It is evolving every day, i think. At the moment it is classic design elements a little offbeat, if that is at all understandable without sounding self-absorbed haha. At the moment i am into chic shapes and designs mixed up a little. BUt who knows, just 1 year ago i was obsessed with the 40s and wore fur collared coats (which i still love and have and will try and wear again in winter) and little heels. After that i went super crazy Alexa Chung, in that kind of geek-esque style, elements of which are still to be found in my wardrobe now (blazers, loafers, pastel colours). Everything changes.
8. For those with outfit shots/blogs, how do you take your pictures (inc. what camera)?
Hahahaha... my outfit post photos recently have been taken by *gulp* photobooth. I have no idea how to take a good photo with my digi, how to prop it up against something so that it takes my whole outfit without looking stupid, and i'm too shy to ask my rents or brothers to take one of me. I would ask my sister but the one time she did it she screwed up my camera, she's not very tech savvy. I'm interested in photography and lovely phhotos though, and i have always wanted to have a nice camera with which to do so. Thoughts, anyone? Something that takes light, airy photos. Is that even possible?
Hmmmm off to uni now. Yesterday was marginally less painful than the first two. I made a friend in english, which was nice. And we have a hilarious lecturer. I'm thinking of changing french though, because i'm finding it so difficult and i have a clash which is stressing me out. I can still keep up my french at the Alliance Francaise, i just don't think uni french is for me. But enough about myself! Tomorrow i promise a return to fashion before i delve back into my holiday snaps for you when i hit... LONDON!. :)
