Today Was A Fairytale

I wanted to find something of the beauty of myth that we’ve left behind,
carry its shreds before us all, so we could acknowledge it, somehow
bring it back to life. I wanted to delve back into that world that
cradled us when we were young enough to still touch it, when trolls
lived under creek bridges, faeries fluttered under mushroom caps, and
the Tooth Fairy only came once you were truly sleeping. I wanted to see
if enchantment was somehow still there, simply waiting to be reached.
When I felt my loss, I realized that if I could do anything in this
life, I wanted to travel the world, searching for those who were still
awake in that old dream time, and listen to their stories – because I had
to know that there were grownups out there who still believed that life
could be magical.
And in that moment I decided: I am going to find the faeries
and write my own fairytales.

2012: Paradise Circus




Baby, you’re a firework.
(Mesh sequined gown: Glitterati | Shoes: CMG | Bag: Chanel | Pearls: Mikimoto)

In true New Year’s Eve tradition, I decided to sparkle and shine my way through the holiday like a gold shiny disco ball as I bid farewell to an amazing 2011 and welcome a glittery and definitely sparkly 2012. It was the perfect night to go all out and I did, in this one of a kind sequined with sheer mesh details dress which I designed for my brand, Glitterati. It’s not out though for retail sale. I must admit this is very similar to the gold gown I wore to my aunt’s wedding last December 5 but I consider this version less tame, more sexy and less princess-like!

I complimented all the shimmer with a pair of CMG peep toe heels (with a cute crystal detail on the heel and sole) and a gold Chanel 2.55 purse. Kept everything minimal: the dress was accessory enough!

For my makeup- I did a gold smokey eye paired with red lips and curled hair- an homage to old Hollywood glam…

Wore this dress for over 15 hours as the first agenda was a fabulous set dinner at my favorite restaurant, Red in Shangrila Hotel with the family. Headed home for lots and lots of FIREWORKS (I only do sparklers though), some bubbly, a lot more food and then capped the night or early morning off at Skye Lounge with friends. It was a blacked out blurry night but I am sure it ruled! Hello, 2012!
Happy New Year Everyone!
xx, JL
