Comfortable Enough To Sleep In

I so love this maxi.  And my obsession with the entire spectrum of yellow and orange doesn't seem to be letting up so I'm allowing myself to fully marinate and experiment with all the citrusy, fiery, sunsety golden colors I can find. 
Last Fall, this marigold maxi dress started it all.  It was inspired by the vibrance of the season and the joyfulness of Thanksgiving dinner festivities.  Anyway, I find I wear it more indoors than outside nowadays.  Especially for lounging.  With a crisp beverage of some sort... yes, no we're getting somewhere.
 The thing is, I usually only wear clothing that's comfy enough to fall asleep in.  My daily work is so physical and rarely sedentary so lounging is everything to me and my wardrobe must fit the lifestyle.  For both work and leisure.

This dress has certainly turned into lounging leisure wear.  And I'm okay with that because it's gorgeous and wearing it makes my laziness look regal and luxe.  A dress that makes you look like a butterfly even when you feel like a slug.  I'll take it!

I actually just re-released this design for Summer in a deep lapis blue.  Check it out in the shop!

Is it me or is this week flyyyying by?
Hope you are enjoying yours!

Sonya's Garden: The Esthetic of Charm & Whimsy

After climbing well over 423 stone steps in Batad, swimming in waterfalls and climbing through caves, we were surprisingly exhausted.  To kick up our feet, we decided to get a villa in Sonya's Garden and pamper ourselves with massages, facials and amazing food.

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?
