eck me out here now tell me what you think and i will still be checking the comments here from time to time too cheers tara posted by tara at 6 57 pm 5 comments labels personal new dress new blog m y dear long lost readers i m certain by now you imagine i have been buried alive under a tumbling mountain of books in fact i just needed a bit of time off to think about life writing blogging etc i hope you won t be completely disappointed if i tell you that there are going to be some big changes involving the start of a new blog and the end of this one but you must stay tuned until my next post for all of the details ha the suspense just to give you a hint my next blog won t be as personal as this blog has been and it won t be as fashion shopping related as this one ok there will still be fashion i can t completely give it up so i kind of wanted to leave off on a personal and fashion related note by posting this series of photos that my sweet boyfriend took of me at the park today showing off the new summer dress i got from eshakti it has been such a fun wonderful ride my dears i think my new favorite dress is sort of symbolic of a new start i truly hope you will continue on this journey with me ok over the two year span of this blog i rarely did product reviews but this is one i m thrilled to publicly swoon over seriously eshakti is my new favorite place to shop if you haven t visited their site you must check it out the prices are reasonable the dresses and skirts are so cute and they make the clothes to order which means they take your measurements and make the clothes to fit you genius i also love the fact that their dresses are stylish and slightly vintage inspired without being overly trendy and they have caftans for poolside lounging glamorous darlings

charlotte mann mann specializes in life size drawings and her favorite place to draw is right where out mothers told us not to the walls she creates charming living spaces complete with scenic window views cheerful knick knacks framed pictures floral curtains even wallpaper living in one of her spaces would almost be as amazing as living in this video almost if you could have mann design a space for you what would you have her draw on your walls posted by tara at 11 05 am 12 comments labels art tuesday march 30 2010 penhaligon s the anthology collection w hat s the one thing yours truly likes more than high heeled shoes vintage dresses and red lipstick yep perfume one of my first jobs was as a salesgirl at a perfume shop at the mall we didn t exactly have a lot of business so most of my time was spent sitting around spritzing perfume on every area of available skin mixing scents and trying to figure out fragrance lingo head notes heart notes i still haven t got it all straight these days i still find it very difficult to walk by a department store perfume counter or pass by sephora without wanting to try buy something new what i wouldn t give to pay a visit to london s lovely penhaligon s perfumery their new re released line of scents from the anthology collection features six scents from 1927 to 1976 i love the idea of wearing something that evokes a bit of nostalgia for a particular period i also really love the fact that three of scents are from the year i was born i can t believe i m giving away my age the 1976 night scented stock and the gardenia sound amazing must have been a lush year what are your favorite scents have you tried anything from penhaligon s posted by tara at 5 26 pm 11 comments labels cosmetics counter shopping monday march 29 2010 the magic of the black mirror and other optical devices a claude glass or black mirror m y love for antique optical devices started with my discovery of the stanhope and it has snow balled into a mini obsession the victorians certainly found clever ways to fulfill their need for visual stimulation with a plethora of odd optical toys and fascinating illusionary devices the names of the devices alone are enough to make me giddy with intrigue for example doesn t the black mirror sound like something straight from grimm s fairy tales despite its sinister sounding nickname the black mirror also called a claude glass was a small pocket sized mirror used by landscape artists in the 1700 s and 1800 s the slightly convex mirror had a dark surface and when held up it would abstract the scenery reflected in the surroundings the image would have a soft slightly painterly quality which the painter could then use as inspiration for his work the camera obscura aside from being the name of one of my favorite bands is an optical device that projects the image of its surroundings onto a screen using a hole the earliest know account of a camera obscura being used was from 5th century bc they became popular devices during the 19th century when they were installed at tourist destinations and seaside resorts a precursor to movie theaters like the black mirror the camera lucida was used as a drawing aid by artists it creates an optical superimposed image of the subject being viewed on the surface the artist draws upon a bit like cheating no the magic lantern was a very popular form of entertainment in the victorian period magic lantern shows were the combination of projected images live narration and live music some lanterns had up to three lenses which allowed for the creation of various special effects i m certain i would be totally mesmerized by this even today the phantasmagoria was probably as terrifying as it sounds particularly to unsuspecting old ladies this was also called pepper s ghost effect and it was often used in theater productions during the 1800 s victorians were notoriously obsessed with death and the supernatural so clever theater managers began using a modified magic lantern to incorporate images of ghosts and skeletons into their productions the projectors were mobile so the operator could create the illusion that the ghost was moving around the stage the zoopraxiscope was an invention by the photographic genius eadward muybridge the zoopraxiscope projected images from rotating glass disks in rapid succession to give the impression of motion an early precursor to film if you find these objects as fascinating as i do you really must treat yourself to a visit to the richard balzer collection to see an amazing collection of optical devices in action and how about this fascinating tidbit in 2001 artist david hockney s book secret knowledge rediscovering the lost techniques of the old masters argued that great artists of the past such as ingres van eyck and caravaggio did not work freehand but were guided by optical devices via shocking posted by tara at 2 24 pm 7 comments labels art current obsession photography vintage thursday march 25 2010 book crush persephone press i have a new book crush do you get book crushes persephone press is a london based press that specializes in neglected and relatively unknown female prose and fiction writers from the 19th and 20th centuries their selection of titles is like a treasure chest of forgotten literary jewels and each book is like a little piece of art work unto itself the jackets are all the same from the outside a lovely understated gray with classic cream labels but the interior of each title features a design that evokes the time and place of the words inside victorian art nouveau modern etc i want to read every single book in their catalog from beginning to end you know in all my spare time wink check out their lovely online shop here they provide a brief biography for each of their fascinating authors as well posted by tara at 12 04 pm 8 comments labels art books muses and icons monday march 22 2010 what are we supposed to do now everything is still night e veryone seems to have a solution for fending off nightmares when i posed the dilemma to a group of friends i recieved so many varied responses some funny some fascinating here are just a few i gathered drink warm milk or cut dairy from your diet completely take a sleep aid like ambien or lunesta put a dream catcher by your bed keep a dream journal and write down the dream as soon as you wake abolish guilt perhaps nightmares are a product of guilt play relaxing music or a funny movie in the background keep a glass of half full water on your nightstand an old wive s tale learn to wake yourself while dreaming or train yourself to lucid dream be grateful that your dreams rather than your life are nightmarish i personaly like nietzsche s bit of snarky wisdom on what to do when you wake up after a nightmare you ingrates you should go to sleep again and dream better the images above are from the coma pool on flickr also check out coma magazine to see more work from these amazing surrealist photographers who seem to have a bit of experience with nightmares posted by tara at 6 58 pm 12 comments labels art photography an ode to frida s eyebrows by iris schwarz o ne of frida kahlo s most striking features was without a doubt her full and fearless eyebrows it always bothers me when i hear people say oh she would have been pretty if she had done something about those brows what no way her eyebrows were a part of unique beauty and honestly i ve been feeling a little jealous of her thick mane of of eye hair lately alright i would never have the confidence to pull off a full on monobrow nor does my hair even grow between my eyes but i could really use a little oomph in the eyebrow area these days during my many years of plucking waxing and torturous string treatments i never once stopped to consider the fact that one day thick brows would be back in fashion and that all that hair pulling would eventually make them stop growing i don t care about any of these new fangled eyelash growth treatments i want something that will make my eyebrows come back where do you stand on the eyebrow issue is anyone having this dilemma what i wouldn t give to have this america s next top model contestant s brows oh well here is a bit of frida to make you smile posted by tara at 3 53 pm 8 comments labels art muses and icons personal sunday march 14 2010 blogger manifesto project manifesto 3 my name is ana tara has asked for my manifesto there are so many ideas and things i m obsessed with so many declarations i could have made but here is the one that made it the one that is most important to me a manifesto on time care to spend a few minutes of yours with it t ime is perception it flies it grinds in very long work meetings it feels like it has suspended itself completely trapping you like a fly in amber time is always measured seconds hours days months and years it is a framework for our lives in which our language is even divided into past present and future tenses when you are stranded without a means of telling time it makes you feel uncomfortable and uneasy it can even amount to torture the measurement of time anchors you to your life time can obsess people the anticipation of it the keeping of it the passing of it some plan their time out very carefully with calendars alarm clocks lists and five year plans others resolutely turn their backs on this and drift on by declaring they have no mission and no ambition that they are just content to see what comes both both approaches spring from the same source the realisation that we do not have much time therefore we need to plan it or as such we need to enjoy it while it lasts and isn t that the rub that no matter what we think of time no matter what we believe we all know that time will only ever leave us behind and if we substitute the word love for life yehuda amichai still speaks true love is finished again like a profitable citrus season or like an archeological dig that turned up from deep inside the earth turbulent things that wanted to be forgotten love is finished again when a tall building is torn down and the debris cleared away you stand there on the square empty lot saying what a small space that building stood on with all its many floors and people extract from love is finished again by yehuda amichai click on each picture for its source for
