Timeless RETRO

Ever want to go back in time and live in the 60's and 70's?  I was a child of the 70's, I was too young to know style back then but for some odd reason I gravitate towards the classic style of that era.  There's something very girly, chic, fun yet filled with sophistication.  

These beautiful flower power wallpaper is a collection of original design of the 60's and 70's from Vintage Wallpapers from Belgium

Who can say no to these cotton candy color refrigerators?  They are from Big Chill, Smeg, and NorthStar

Ballerina

Never taken a dancing class in my life, but I appreciate the beauty of dancing especially the ballerina.  Valentine's day, we went to the NYC Ballet at the David H. Koch Theater, the venue is spectacular with the common space filled inlaid travertine marble staircase, antique brass railings, and gold-leaf ceiling.  It's absolutely stunning.  I like the classic solid design with few main materials that connects well.  It was designed by Architect Philip Johnson in the 60s.  It was indeed a fancy Valentine's date!  We saw Coppelia.  The costumes and the set was magnificent but the true beauty came from the dancers.  My first time at the ballet, and it sure will not be my last.  I was overwhelmed with admiration for the hard work and dedication that put into the performance.  And there were little ones dancing too!  They were the most adorable and talented little girls I've ever seen.

A friend of mine introduced me to The Ballerina Project on Instagram.  I immediately fell in love with the artistry and sophisticated forms of each and every photographs.  It's a great idea for the project because the setting was in such unusual places other than the decorated in door stages.  It's on the street, in nature, and even sometimes in someone's apartment.  I supposed you can virtually dance anywhere.  The dedication and discipline that goes into this art is immeasurable! 

Below are some photos from The Ballerina Project from Instagram:

Finally, guess where Audrey Hepburn gets her gracious form from?  Yes!  She was a classically trained ballet from a very young age.  She is one of my absolute favorite person in this world.

Jean Paul Gaultier

Today, I have the privilege to see the work of the master of fashion creation - Jean Paul Gaultier.  I was in awe of the intricate details that go into each garment.  I live for details and I am happy to report that everything about this man is the in the details.  I saw lace, woven ribbon, wheat, leather, flowers, hair, to name a few.  It's not just the material itself but how he used them.  Every pieces were so well thought out and over the top avant-garde.  There is no word that can describe how magnificent this exhibit was.  It's now on view at the Brooklyn Museum.  My photos are more focused on the details and transitional moment from one material to another.  Needless to say, I am more inspired than ever!
