I’d love to do something like this, Karl Lagerfeld designed ballet costumes for the English National Ballet’s tribute season to the legendary French ballet company the Ballets Russes. (L-R: Dying Swan costume, ballet dancer Elena in Chanel haute couture seen in Harper’s Bazaar June issue.)

pretty although the feathers around the neck is a bit awkward and i don’t LOVE how the bodice makes her look thick and ungraceful.

The Guardian’s Judith Mackrell called the tutu “the one fake note” of the opening night. It was, she said, “conceived with cavalier disregard for the ballerina’s working body – the line of the neck broken by an egregious, fluffy ruff, the waistline broken by a too-high skirt.

I agree….

The first perfume by Van Cleef & Arpels, Feerie. How dreamy is this bottle, with the fairy on a twig. It smells wonderful, too. If I were to be a perfume, this scent would come nearest. I heard the first whif was a bit too sweet for some, but I love it like it is, it gives way to a more woody smell after a while and the trail is just pure fantasy.. The real bottle doesn’t look as good as I expected it to be though, the metal-looking twig is just plastic. But I got to take home a tester and a discount card for it at the Fabric anniversay, and speaking of which, the entry and photos for that will come soon.. Just collecting the good pictures! =)

Never stop dreaming…
