Dream State

I love beautiful paintings, clothes, pastries, teas, make-up, films, books, decorations...whatever...all of it. So what would it be like if they all went together? If I took a painting and thought of the all the things I love that went with it. What gorgeous outfit would I wear to see the painting? What would I eat afterwards? What would I put in my living room to remind of of it later? That's what this is. A confluence of lovely things as informed by a piece of fine art.

to get in the mood...

 

Marie Antoinette by Antonia Fraser, Queen of Fashion by Caroline Weber, Marie Antoinette Film and Sountrack written and directed by Sofia Coppola (all available at amazon.com)

Read, Watch, Listen.  Marie Antoinette by Antonia Fraser and Queen of Fashion by Caroline Weber. Fraser's book is what Sofia Coppola used to for the movie.  Personally I prefer Caroline Weber's book, its a great read, and it focuses specifically on fashion's role in Marie-Antoinette's life, which is probably why I like it better.  Both are invaluable resources for learning about Marie. Of course, you can not help but watch and enjoy Sofia Coppola's movie.  The entire film is candy color, it's too incredible to describe. And the soundtrack. The woman has an incredible knack for music. It's the best.
