The Heart

"The human heart is an organ, a metaphor, a wheel, a house, a rose...it sinks, it flies, it grows..." - Louisa Young

Peter Panned

So you finally caved and bought that button-up shirt with the rounded collar. You're wondering if you should dare wear it out and when, especially because something about it makes you look so.... trendy and youthful.

Don't worry, Peter Pan collars are appropriate for all ages and occasions. This is a fact, actually.
 
Back in Old Hollywood, all of your favorites wore Peter Pan collars:

Audrey Hepburn

This blog isn't called 'Fashion in Time and Space' for nothing. So it's not very surprising I'm inspired by:

Senegalese, Havana, and Kinky Twists

Two strand, licorice-like twists add delicacy to any style. Unlike box braids, twists are usually faster to install and remove; and they look absolutely regal when wrapped around the head or gathered into a bun. Even the type of hair used makes the style unique. Maybe that's why twists are so popular in the dog days of summer.

12 Fashion Ads You Wanted to Live In

It's easy to lose yourself in a sea of pretty pictures on Tumblr and Pinterest these days. Still, there's something special about being able to hold an actual book of pictures between your fingers. (If you lean in closely enough, you can almost feel yourself stepping into its pages.)

For old time's sake, here's a look back at some of the greatest print ad photos we've all wanted to step into over the past 14 years.

Prada - Late 90s

It's 1999 and you're in bed in ratty pajamas, flipping through a copy of Vogue. You turn the page and find yourself staring at a brown skirt and tweed shoes, and a woven bag dangling just behind the model's ankles. If only you could have that bag, everything in your life would be okay. If nothing else, the bag would at least give you some semblance of being put together--in a Mrs. Dalloway sort of way. This photo is just a Muppet Babies' view of what your life would look like in Prada.

Gilded and Gunmetal Grace

Thanks to Dolce and Gabbana's Fall 2013 collection, I am now obsessed with sequins (again). In what I consider to be one of the best runway shows this century, they showcased a brilliant collection fueled by Catholicism and old-world beauty. They brought us gems like this:

                              Of course, I do prefer my sequins in silver:
