The villa was breathtaking but after seeing my bed... I was surprised I went anywhere at all.
I wore a robe most of the time I was there. A choice between two silk robes were laid out for me before our arrival. I never wear robes but needless to say I made an exception as these robes were the most gorgeous I have ever seen...
And to make our stay even more magical that first night, I found on the side of the bed a book, "Romantic Tales of Arabian Nights". Theo read to me into the wee hours of the night and I fell asleep in my silk hand painted robe dreaming of far off Arabian love affairs.
Chandeliers hung everywhere, even in the surrounding gardens. As we left, I made myself a promise that I would find this fairytale place again someday.
Fashion is first an idea before it, shall we say "materializes" into clothing, yes?
I was so overwhelmed by the conceptual esthetic around me at Sonya's Garden that I just had to include it in my blog because the Tiny Closet is a concept as well, see.
Its an esthetic that I've created for myself to express my sense of fashion. And I love conceptual thinking because its so concentrated and streamlined and saturated! Its so extreme. So even though I don't wear florals or own a single doily or have chandeliers hanging in my garden, places like this one is what truly inspires my own concepts and in turn, my wardrobe.
Thanks for reading :) Don't you love this place?
