"A Play Of White" Tim Walker And Caroline Trentini For Vogue Italia March 2006

Photos via here, there, and everywhere. 

Good glory, it's been a while. Sorry for the blogging and Tumblr hiatus (and sparse tweeting). Spring break happened, and I neglected all my social media accounts in the name of fun. But fear not! I should be back to regular blogging starting in 3... 2... 1... NOW.

I'm a complete and total sucker for a good Tim Walker editorial (and let's just be honest- all his work is fantastic.) Finding this wonderful editorial from 2006 put a smile on my face and a flutter in my heart. Sometimes, I come home from fashion week thinking that the industry is all just a big circus. But finding editorials like the ones that Tim shoots reminds me that fashion can be utterly magical. 

Would You Dare To Wear Peplum Hems? (I Would!)

I distinctly remember seeing this spread in Vogue and thinking "No, definitely not, peplums are weird, way too girly, and totally not for me." They're just too frilly and romantic, (That's honestly what they are- frills.) and honestly, I don't feel like participating in this trend. Peplums just seemed pointless to me. I didn't understand them. Well, even though these points are valid, I didn't have a change of heart until I was browsing H&M's e-store and I found THIS.

I was ooing and ahhing over it when I stopped and thought "Woah, wait, this is a peplum hem. And I like it." Different from the ones in spreads and on the spring runways... it's wearable! Hallelujah! Peplum hems don't have to be extreme, it's just not practical. But a hem like this? I could wear it all the time. I totally plan on marching over to my H&M the moment I get my paycheck and adding this little beauty to my closet. I think it would look cute with a pencil skirt, wouldn't you agree?
So, the big question, would you wear a peplum hem?

Sweet Caroline, Part 2

Loving these A-Line skirt looks on Caroline Trentini, especially the Valentino dress in the first photo. I have wanted that dress ever since I first saw it on the runway!

Obsessed with these shots of Caroline Trentini! Simply gorgeous! I also love the slight 1960's feel.
