Black velvet. J'adore Dior!


Darlings, we are here, the third and last post on the wonderful new additions to my wardrobe. And I must have been really good this past year, since my mom's Christmas present for me was an amazing vintage Christian Dior evening jacket! Really now, what is better than vintage french high fashion? Well I for one, and for once, was speechless, so I gathered a few inspirational quotes from the couturier himself . .


  • Simplicity, good taste and grooming are the three fundamentals of good dressing and these do not cost money.

  • I will only say now that elegance must be the right combination of distinction, naturalness, care and simplicity. Outside this, believe me, there is no elegance. Only pretension.

  • Elegance is not dependent on money. Of the four things I have mentioned above, the most important of all is care. Care in choosing your clothes. Care in wearing them. Care in keeping them.

  • I have designed flower women.
