I’ve often found myself inspired by timeless, original, and authentic beauty that never goes out of style or could be considered a trend.

And for dress-up — menswear-inspired fashions or haute couture with extreme attention to the smallest detail. And doesn’t it all appear to suit her perfectly? It’s like she’s finally doing what she wants on her own, and it’s fabulous. That’s what’s inspiring this post today: bringing that slightly eccentric, fashionable, but classic style into the home and embracing our authentic selves.
