Memoirs of a Geisha

The heart dies a slow death. Shedding each hope like leaves, until one day there are none. No hopes. Nothing remains.



Today I watched one of my all time favourite movies, The Memoirs of a Geisha. No, I have not read the book, and yes, I hear it is better, but I still love this movie for so many reasons. I find it so inspirational in the sense that someone so young can dream a dream so big, and aspire to live a life that in her time was a fairytale. For me, this movie is a clear example that we directly influence our destiny by the choices that we make. But our course may also be drastically altered by outside forces. A life can be moved in a new direction by a person, a word, a thought, or a deed. Some of these occurrences are very profound and sobering but most of them are trivial and ephemeral. Like a pebble thrown into a pond, a small thing sends out many ripples.



The Memoirs of a Geisha is a movie that overflows with many magical moments, but the most magical moment, comes when a little girl meets a man whose kindness proves to be life transforming. For this little girl, this act comes at a time when she is feeling lonely, hopeless, and helpless. The man's unexpected care becomes a gift of hope and new direction.

So, as inspired as I am feeling in this moment, I would like to share with you some beautiful Kimono inspired bridal couture by Culture Bridal Couture.










Have a beautiful Sunday.

FAB Style at COACHELLA

The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival (commonly known as Coachella  saw tons of celebrities, music lovers, and just really super cool, quirky people. Hey, even Tupac made an appearnce in the form of a hologram. I love the fun, quirky, Boho sense of dress that everyone seems to adopt for the 3-day event. What do you think? I'd love to attend some day, could be really fabulous!!!



Besties Rihanna and Katy Perry were amongst the fun, fabulous musicians in attendance. Rihanna even performed her smash hit "We found love" alongside Calvin Harris. Love that!!!





Here are a few of the other famous people seen at Coachella!

My favourite heiress, PARIS HILTON partying it up :)




Love this BOHO CHIC look from Vanessa Hudgens.

Vampire Diaries stars, Nina Dobrev & Ian Somerhaldery. Looking super cosy are they not?!


So who attended, and how did it go?
Kisses my fabulous friends!
mwah!!!

Box Clutches

Box clutches are having a major moment right now. Perspex is Charlotte Olympia's material of choice; Sara Battaglia used mirror to create her new pieces; Stella McCartney went for plastic and Lanvin opted for sophisticated metal. So many beautiful bags to choose from. Which one's your favorite?

Brett's FAB FINDS: YDE

A trip to the mall this weekend produced 2 items I am very excited about. First, a super cute cropped T by Milla Girl - Yes, I bought it from the Tween section, I simply could not help myself. I love the bright pop of colour. Expect to see me wearing this one out! The next fab find this week, is a lovely poly-knit jacket from Miss Port. Craig Port is one of my favourite South African designers, and I simply love his Miss Port range. Needless to say this is not my first purchase from this label. Now, I seldom find that you can see the true beauty of a garment on the hanger. But here are a few photographs of them hanging anyway. What do you think?


??
Jacket: Miss Port @YDE R450

Top: Milla Girl @YDE R260

Clothes were meant to be worn on the best hanger forms ever - US!!! So you see the difference once they're on? I'm gonna be wearing this jacket all winter! Excited!!!




Take care fashionistas
