Love Is In The Air





Its hard to believe we are almost to February and Valentine's Day~What does romance and love mean to you?
Love a four letter word that has vast stories to tell~

Love is an ocean of emotions entirely surrounded by expenses. ~Lord Dewar


Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind. ~William Shakespeare, Mid-Summer Night's Dream, 1595

Romance

Fashion Choices~
The perfect shoes~

If we just take it in right here~
The detailing in the back is gorgeous~
Will the dress need tulle under it?
Contemplating the veil~

Romance can lead to love~ Then when it is time for the commitment everyone dreams of the romantic wedding day~ Finding the perfect dress, veil and shoes. Creating memories to last a life time. Fashion has played a major part in ceremonies of the heart. Now in my own family my second youngest daughter is about to pledge her love this summer. I can't wait to share more fashion, design and wedding posts inspired by romantic love~

Love does not consist of gazing at each other, but in looking together in the same direction. ~Antoine de Saint-Exupery

True love stories never have endings. ~Richard Bach

Marie Antoinette


1. MARIE ANTOINETTE CHRISTMAS ORNAMENT, 2. Marie Can Can, 3. ATC - Marie Antoinette, Red, 4. flower girl, 5. Bernard Tartinville (photographer) Antoinette fashion, 6. Marie Antoinette (2006), 7. Door lock and knob, Petit Trianon, Versailles, 8. Untitled, 9. Marie Antoinette : Laduree Just click on any image to enlarge view

When it comes to color, fashion and design inspiration that exudes youth, elegance, femininity and wealth I always come back to Marie Antoinette. Her history is so interesting. I could find myself dreaming away the day just imagining being in a summer garden lounging under a parasol listening to nature. Her life from lavish turned to turbulence and then execution yet despite her history we take away the most inspiring images and thoughts.
To find more about Marie Antoinette's history I have placed a link for you, but you will find her legacy everywhere if you dare to look at the other side of her life~
