2012-01-31T05:59:00.002+14:00

This weekend I had the opportunity to visit the Dallas Museum of Art and enjoy an exceptional glance at the Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier. My mind was over stimulated by the display of so much creativity, my respect and admiration for Mr, Gaultier has grown immensely. Photography, sketches, costume design, film excerpts, runway, music, interviews... An ample and exquisite feast of culture, art and haute couture. My mind was over stimulated by this spectacular exhibition and I could go see it again and again. If you are or will be in the Dallas Fort Worth area before February 12, don't miss the opportunity to learn and enjoy the creations of this amazing visionary.

The exhibition will be on display at the Dallas Museum of Art from November 13, 2011, through February 12, 2012, before traveling to its final stop in the U.S. at the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, de Young, in March 2012. The exhibition will be on view at the Fundación Mapfre – Instituto de Cultura in Madrid, Spain, from September 26 through November 18, 2012, and to Kunsthal Rotterdam, the Netherlands, from February 9, 2013 through May 12, 2013, and then travel to Arkitekturmuseet, Stockholm in June 2013.

Veruca

2011-11-12T18:50:00.001-10:00

During my latest jean hunt I stumble upon the Rich & Skinny label, very appealing but I was skeptical about purchasing them. First I wasn't sure about the fit and second there was the name that made me feel like a grown up Veruca Salt. In the meantime, I see the fabulous Judy from Atlantis Home tweeting about how amazing the jeans are (Thanks for the feedback Judy!). Long story short, I got the Legacy Rich & Skinny Jeans and all I can say is that I am in love with how well they fit and how comfortable they are.

Now I feel like a very happy Veruca ;)
