Carnival of Light

3 June 2009 • Kimberly • Leave a Comment

11

A carnival of light indeed,

Fixations of movement, of color, of exposures.

The dresses? Breathtaking.

12

B l a c k  &  w h i t e .

Classicality, represented, through photography and clothing.

13

Modeled all by  J u l i a   R e s t o i n – R o i t f e l d .

Muse, style icon, with not just a home and closet to envy.

    I really love all of these, and can’t decide which one I like the best. It’s commendable that you are still doing inspiration posts, even though you are totally stressed. My computer died for a few hours the other day, and I felt relieved. So, I need to back away from this a bit and not feel so pressed to comment & post all of the time. It was a real wake up call for me. Good luck with all of your end of school stuff. Hugs. xo
