life is like

'LIFE ISN'T ABOUT FINDING YOURSELF,

IT'S ABOUT CREATING YOURSELF'

Just a little something I think we all need to remind ourselves of every once in while, non?

the model and the scarf

Once upon a time in a faraway land, known not to many of us, there were a number of off duty models who lived in various loft apartments throughout Paris, New York, London and every other grand city in between. These models were rarely spotted off the runway without their uber skinny leg jeans, their tailored blazers, their ankle boots of suede or leather, and the piece de resistance, the humble scarf.

This short fable and its illustrations above depicts the use of the scarf as an accessory of sorts for the model. An accessory that is often wrapped several times over and around their slender necks and is often highlighted by a wavy, glossy mane or the remaining wisps of their ballerina buns. In short, the scarf is their trademark and my-oh-my don't they own it well.

daria e sempre in ritardo

Viewing: Daria Werbowy for Flare Magazine, Canada September 09.

The girl certainly has some flare about her that’s for sure. And for Flare Magazine itself, it was all about the rock chick, the leopard print, the mermaid within, the leather, the thigh high boots and the Louis Vuitton bunny-eared headband.

As for the title of the blog, everytime I hear her name not only do I think of piercing blue eyes and to-die-for cheek bones but I am also reminded of a time when I was a wee young high school student, attending Italian classes and dealing with the likes of a cartoon character named Dario from our Avanti textbook. Dario was forever late, hence the “sempre in ritardo” reference. Unfortunately for me, it is the only Italian that appears to still ring shrill in my ears…that and the word vorrei, because a girl never stops wanting things.
