GIRL FRIDAY ♥ ARAKS LINGERIE 2012

I have always loved Araks Yeramyan's lingerie label ARAKS. You might remember the opening credits for LOST IN TRANSLATION with a shot of Scarlett Johansson's tush in a pair of sheer briefs? Those were Araks. I also love the Araks 2012 lookbook (I might be the last person on the planet to have seen it) which was a collection of photos taken by her fancy creative friends. She gave them each a disposable camera and a bunch of her amazing lingerie and they gave her what we see in the lookbook. Radness. A girl can never have too much lingerie, can she? Never.♡

SATURDAY SHOW ♥ SO FULL OF DREAMS?

I was just about to write that the below shoot (So Full Of Dreams by Ellen Von Unwerth-love her-for Italian Vogue featuring model Eniko Mihalik looked really strange for an Italian Vogue story...that it looked like something you'd see in Lula magazine ("Girl of my dreams"). Then I noticed that it was styled by Leith Clark, from Lula. Very odd. Seems a bit young or something or indie for Italian Vogue. I love it. But doesn't seem like an easy fit. ?♡

THURS SHOW ♥ ULYANA SERGEENKO

I don't know who Ulyana Sergeenko is necessarily. Style.com says she was a couture collector and someone who was photographed a lot for her street style. But I don't really care. I loved her couture collection so so so very much. It made me feel like I was watching an old Hollywood film about fashion, like maybe Cover Girl. I mean, they look like something Edith Head created. I loved the make up. I loved the hats. I loved the styling. Maybe most don't know that some of first couture makers in Paris were from Russia. They fled and started working in Paris. This is why you see a lot of designers use those old Russian techniques and styles, colors and stitches in their collections. I was given a really amazing book about it all, and I don't know what I did with it. I'll have to find out what it is and re-order it. On a side note, Jessica Stam looks like a different woman with black hair, a really hot woman still, but different. 

Anyway, take a look. You might not like it, but I love this kind of fashion. Where it's not all overly sexy and it's filled with the right touches. ♡


i love old prarie-style or saloon-style dresses. i own a really gorgeous vintage one that i bought in a thrift store in new york 10 years ago.

so cute. maybe not wearable. but fashion and glamour nonetheless

that touch of mink

oh i love this so much. little gaultier...perhaps?
