Monochromatic...


There is nothing I love more than varying shades of the same color,
especially the grays.  I've always loved grays for interiors, even before I saw
the light via Christina's Greige blog (one of my favs), but I do love it in fashion
as well.  Like Sterling Silver or Platinum, you know?
And like this cover photo.
Layers & layers of ruffles, ruches, richness & finery,
topped off by the beautiful red hair of Karen Elsen,
 photographed by Steven Meisel.

I know, I know...I'm completely copping out on creating my own beautiful
post by copy-catting Vogue Italia's cover.  
But I have so much to think about
with next Tuesday's post for the international blog party called

By Invitation Only

The topic for October's post was selected by 2 of our original members,

Tish Jett of Femme d'un A Certain Age
&
Vicki Archer of French Essence

so, of course, I'm thinking thinking thinking about what I will
write...cause with inspiration from these 2 you know it must
be fabulous !

    I love the monochromatic look, too. I have that look in several of my rooms.

    I've missed you, but work has me crazy busy.

    Hello,dear Marsha;-)*

    This cover of Vogue makes me think about fashion from years 40-50...because of model and the colors combination.
    This nostalgic expression in her gray eyes plus these autumn-red hair and palett of all perl-gray colors,fascinating!

    I am SO huge curious about the new post: By Invitation only!!!

    My hugs and Love,
    ***Violetta***

    Thank you such an opulent cover - something we don't see very often here in Australia. Looking forward to your Invitation Only post - this is such a lovely idea and how I loved reading everyone's blogs last month - all unique and heartfelt. Roll on next week! Francesca

Please know how much I value your comments. I read every single one and do hope you will take the time to leave your thoughts. I think InstaGram with the Emojis have taken a lot away from blogging, but I love IG too.
