The Swedish Slug

Tomorrow it's a holiday. It's the day for celebration of the Swedish flag. The small sea slug Chromodoris annae happens to wear the colours of the swedish flag, yellow and blue, every single day. For me, one day or two could be enough.
The dresses are from Betsey Johnson and three times Issa, at www.yoox.com

The picture above is taken in earthquake-ridden China. A wedding couple taking their photos after the ceremony got caught in the midst of a quake.
This one and more frames can be found at http://www.xanga.com/lelandwong/657607591/photographing-a-wedding-and-then-an-earthquake.html

Although it's a miserable catastrophy, the photo is beautiful. The colour palette. The expression on the brides face.

Tori in Nude


Nude as a colour can be extremely beautiful paired with something more extravagant; striking colours, exquisit details or massive accessories.

Here's an example of the first of these choices, Tori Amos in concert.

Eye-catching and original.

Tops are from ZOE tee's, Parosh, Pool Position and Valeria Cappucci.
