♥ Sunday Best ♥ #47

I need to live in this house.

Located in between Bronx and Queens, there is North Brother Island, an abandoned island in the middle of NYC. In 1885 the island was used to build a hospital complex to quarantine and treat people from smallpox and typhoid fever. In the 1950s it was turned into a rehab center. It has been abandoned since 1963. I'd love to go there!

One of my favourite scenes ever!

Saint Laurent Fall RTW 2014 at Paris Fashion Week


French designer Hedi Slimane has proven his talent as the creative director of Yves Saint Laurent and he surely doesn't fail to inspire me. 
This collection harks back to the 1960s, pairing kitsch elements and a preppy chic class with a sprinkle of glam rock. I can imagine Brigitte Bardot, Jane Birkin and Anna Karina wearing those outfits if they were dating The Rolling Stones. I am certainly charmed by the French New Wave cinema vibe and naturally, those glitter mary janes went straight to my neverending wishlist. The models look particularly cool with the black eye make-up and colossal lashes. For some reason, some of the garments really remind me of Anna Sui - I guess that's why I'm loving this collection so much.
