The World of an Elf Princess

Look what a lovely things can be found at flickr. Thanks to the internet everybody can be an artist. I admire such pictures straight from a dreams. Close-ups at beautiful items, joining them with even more beautiful dresses, digging out a magic from the details. The below pictures were taken by bee hives. She calls herself an elf princess.

Judith Leiber's Bags

Judith Leiber is a coming from Hungary designer of handbags. She retired in 1998 but the company still exist. Under her name there are manufactured an artistic and unique eye-candies. These gems can be often seen in the hands of rich and famous. For example the pink strawberry cake one starred in 'Sex and the City' and on red carped in Katy Perry's hand. Made with a great care and artistic verve, they catch an eye not less than diamonds and expensive jewellery. They can be admired in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. And because what's beautiful isn't for free, these little things cost not less than few thousand $$. I like the most the oriental ones - camel, elephant and Indian deity statue. They'll for sure not hold more than a lipstic, but they have other duty. They job is to shine and dazzle by their unusual shape and form. Sweet and childish for first glance, they'll be a real pride of every wardrobe. It's worth to see more designs as the company makes also more classic models.

You can buy them at net-a-porter or Neiman Marcus

Pin-Up Watch

Firstly I thought that it's trashy and childish. But after a closer look I considered that such pop-artish, retro-style watch wouldn't be too bad. Sexy pin-up with pouted red lips, hart-shaped hand and hart attached to the polka-dot strap could look really funny and girly on the hand. And the matching lace box is also lovely. Hey, you don't have to be always serious.

It can be bought at forieri.com for $95.00 USD. 

Renaissance by Pierluigi Maco

I adore velvet and a pictures like these. It reminds me about my last autumn's journey to Rome and artworks of Santo Botticelli, Raphael Santi or Jan van Eyck. But also of Draper, Waterhouse, Rossetti and Lefebvre. The pictures are dark and mysterious, like there was something devilish and ugly underneath those beautiful clothes and face or hidden in the shade. So many feelings at the same time. The colours of poison, hell, fear. The colours of love, ecstasy and passion.
