#FifiFurry Love Day

Happy #FifiFurryLove Day a.k.a. Saturday dear reader! Summer is soon around the bend and already I’m wagging my little tail with all sorts of thoughts of excitement. We love summer; it means lots of walks with Bella, more time to smell the roses, sandaled-feet for me to sniff and meeting new friends who want to snuggle and scratch my little head.

Being a #FifiFurryLove is a big job you know – it entails lots of important things like being readily available for tummy rubs, cheering your human up when they seem down and looking so adorably cute that you melt hearts. I just love it!

Because I’ve been ever so darling, Bella has decided to hand the keyboard over to me and so I’ll be your Fifi-Blogger/Editor-In-Chief from now on, which incidentally, tickles me so. While Bella blogs here, I’ll be posting about all things delicious in our world like beautiful music, paintings, dancing and my favourite . . . fashion.

Never forget, FiFi Furies have style and speaking of, we are tickled pink over the whimsy and romance of some of the beautiful outfits that graced the recent catwalks at fashion week. Here are some faves:

Marchesa

Gucci

Alexander McQueen

What about you? Leave a note and until next time, #FifiFurryLove to you,

Paris Fashion Week Highlights - Part 1?

 

I'm sure you're wondering about the question mark in my post title. Well that's because I'm almost half convinced that another post is set to follow a la my fashion highlights from NYFW. I suppose they aren't really highlights in the typical sense but my own dreamy soundtrack of fashion meets music.

 

 

Listen:: The Swan





By:: Joshua Bell

 

Haider Ackermann

 Chic masculinity juxtaposed by silky fabric and a feminine palette. I'm definitely one for feminine and all out girly pieces but I absolutely love this pairing by Haider Ackermann.


Valentino

A dream, goddess inspired dress with octanic pastels - another beautiful juxtaposition. You can never have enough frills if you ask me.


Valentino

 And the ultimate girly, boho-esque summer dress, This makes me think of relaxing in a velvet-cushioned teepee somewhere really exotic. . . .


Valentino

 



  . . . and then getting even more dressed up for a night of dinner beneath the stars, the air filled with the scent of sweet fruit intermingled in jasmine and vanilla.

 

 

 

Debussy Meets Badgley Mischka

Of course I'm not done with Fashion Week! My last post was part I of 2 and I've saved my favourite for today.

Do you like Debussy? Perhaps you've heard Claire De Lune and if you didn't know what it was, a popular love story featuring two star crossed teen- lovers probably introduced you to this beautiful and enchanting composition.

Listen: Claire De Lune

By: Francois- Joel Thiollier

Composer: Debussy

. . .  and imagine:

. . .  a cerulean sky, streamed with cotton candy clouds, twilight around the bend and a soft ocean breeze. I loved this piece for the delightful deep peach colour that's not quite orange. It's so floaty, for want of a better word, elegant with a hint of play.

Tiers, remind me of childhood dresses, being a princess and sparkling like the stars. I find myself going Gatsby again with this dress and I love the beaded detail on the neckline that falls into a curtain of light.

And my absolute favourite - gold, aquamarine and a beaded bodice. The perfect dress for a midsummer night's ball. These tiers are vertical instead of horizontal and beautifully placed, it gives the impression of floating on water or having sea foam at your feet.

. . . . all delicate and delightful like Claire De Lune.

Fashion Week 2014 : Spring In Prague With Beethoven

I find beauty and inspiration in so many different realms and fashion just happens to be one of them. To me fashion is both fun and poetic, serious and playful, frivolous in some ways yet awe-inspiring in others. Being at a runway show is an opportunity to see a moving work of art and that experience changed my appreciation for fashion as an art form forever.

This week has been no exception with beautiful pieces for Spring 2015 on show at MB Fashion Week NY. Instead of a general round up so to speak, I picked out a few pieces that matches my take on spring and of course - relevant musical accompaniment:

Listen: Symphony No.1 in C Major

Op.21: 111 Ardante Cantabele con moto

Composer - Beethoven

Sensual textures and lush soft mauve for this look by Marissa Webb. I've always had a think for matching hosiery and shoes and the deep black hue lends a perfect contrast to the soft tone of the outfit, the pockets are also chic too. Perfect for tucking away little wildflowers.

Playful and  delightful with a vintage flair by Jenny Packham. This so look to me is so youthful, light and fresh. It makes me think of twirling in a field of daisies or being in The Great Gatsby.

 

This dress by  Monique Lhuillier is both soft and architectural. Her entire collection was a seamless blend of ethereal  pieces, floral and bead accents and edgy combinations that still managed to resonate with femininity.

I like to think of my selections as a backdrop to a day in Paris or perhaps Prague - chic morning brunch, afternoon fun and an evening spent taking in the classical arts.

What about you? Did you find any hearts in this years Fashion Week presentation?
