Drowsed With The Fume Of Poppies

On a half-reaped furrow sound asleep,
Drowsed with the fume of poppies, while thy hook
Spares the next swath and all its twined flowers;
And sometimes like a gleaner thou dost keep
Steady thy laden head across a brook;
Or by a cider-press, with patient look,
Thou watchest the last oozings, hours by hours. -John Keatsstylist Carly Brook

    And lo, it is ended.
    The leaves are all dead on the ground,
    Save those that the oak is keeping
    To ravel them one by one
    And let them go scraping and creeping

    I can not get enough of the street fashion site Slickwalk from Moscow, Russia. Every photograph is so crisp and color rich and each captured individual has wonderful detailed outfits. This lady's turban caught my eye, but her amazing ring and choice of wellies held my attention.

    Aptly named Studio Toogood designs, directs and executes interiors and environments and is responsible for this gorgeous set. The tropical rainforest reminds me of the beloved children's book My Father's Dragon.

    I'm slowly collecting some interesting rings, mostly from secondhand stores and street vendors...but I have nothing nearly as impressive as the ladies of The Selby.

    I got the Urban Outfitters Holiday catalogue in the mail awhile back and it really swept me away. The images of pretty girls in feather masks, high buns with giant knits, sequined cardigans, and socks with oxfords were lovely enough, but the little illustrations at the back of the catalogue? Even better.

    Way back in the day when I was brainstorming over what I would like my blog name to be, one of the titles on the list was "The Fashion Plate." Why? Like "clothes horse," the term is antiquated with multiple meanings; used figuratively it references a person who conforms to the latest fashions.
