Knowing my love for Out of Africa you can see why I fell in-love with these recent pics from Vogue… I love the colors and the textures.. The tent in the first picture and the ruffles and hat in the last are my favorites…
Also I have a secret love for High Fashion that is totally frivolous and completely useless in my current life, but I can’t help losing myself in Vogue or Harper’s Bazaar every now and again. A leftover habit from my childhood dream to be a fashion designer I guess. 
It’s odd, because I am not a name brand person, I don’t like clothing that blares the makers name or logo all over it. I tend to be more “all or nothing” about my clothes. I think it should either come from Target or Goodwill or it should be a One-of-a-Kind item or Couture. Of course I don’t know that I could ever spend $30K on a dress. I can’t even bring my self to spend $50 on this one. So I guess couture is out of the question. But maybe I’ll be able to splurge for one of Tif’s creations one of these days…
But regardless of my fashion habits, I find that even fashion photo shoots like this can serve as inspiration for design. You just never know what is going to get those creative sparks flying…
And I could just see you wearing one of those slip dresses! I could never pull it off…. but you young girls sure could. I also love her bags.
I love, love that skirt with the ruffles. OMG!!!Thanks for showing us those great pictures.Rosemary
oh, I totally know what you mean. maybe it’s the little girl in all of us that still wants to be a princess? I don’t know, but I do know that I always fall for clothes like that – terribly impractical but oh soooo beautiful…to me, too, there’s the pull of clothes as costume – if I wear those clothes, I will be that person, that character, if only for awhile.
ooooh…. I love the spiegel dress (maybe it’ll go on sale in the fall & I can hook it up with a cardigan for work!)
Lovely eye candy! I haven’t seen Out of Africa since I was in High School and now it’s going on my library list. Thanks for the idea!
Beautiful photos!! I love the Speigel dress!I’ve recently shopped for just the right reahearsal dinner dress and mother of the bride dress. Guess what! I found just the right MOB dess, hanging in my closet. A wonderfully simple, ankle length black dress, I’ve had for years…all I had to do was add a new jacket and I was ready. And the rehearsal dinner dress, marked way down at Coldwater Creek! Both perfectly classic, Pat style dresses! I’m prepared for November 16/17, without breaking the bank!I love Ralph Lauren ads. Whether in print or Television…they are absolutely gorgeous!PatBack Porch Musings
I love “Out of Africa” style too! Thanks for sharing and bringing it to memory because it inspired a decorating breakthrough I’ve been needing! The only thing is, I think the models need to eat something! Jessica T.
I want you to buy the Speigel dress! It is beautiful, just like you, and you are SO worth many, many, many $50 dresses.
These pictures are awesome!…makes me want to pull out my own video of “out of Africa” and watch it again…its been so long!
