Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination

The highly anticipated Met Gala has come and gone, bringing with it an array of draw dropping looks. Hosted by Amal Clooney, Rihanna, Donatella Versace, Anna Wintour,  Stephen and Christine Schwarzman,  there was no doubt it would be one of the most star studded events of the year. Tommy Hilfiger, Donatella Versace, Dianne Von Fürstenberg, Jeremy Scott and Vera Wang were just some of the fashion legends to grace the red carpet. 

A  mixture of my three life passions, art, fashion and spirituality, I was excited to see how designers would incorporate the Catholic influence. Head pieces, gloves, sequins, beading, tulle, floor length skirts, long trains and plunging necklines brought an over-the-top but modern elegance to the red carpet. This years gala was far from disappointing. 

The large collection of art and fashion is set to display current and medieval works dating back as far as the early twentieth century. Opening May 10, it will be located in the Anna Wintour Costume Center at The Met Fifth Avenue as well as The Met Cloisters.

Without further ado, here are my top looks.

Dear Future Self

Do you remember always being called the sick kid through school? You probably don't want to think about those years though do you, they were never a breeze. Over two years ago you were diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and oh boy has it been a challenge. Do you still suffer from it? I hope there has been some breakthroughs by now. If not, I'm sorry for what you have gone through, I hope you have been taking care of yourself. I wanted to write this letter in case you look back and wonder "what if " or try to blame yourself for not doing more.  Because here's the thing, you ALWAYS did whatever you could, always. The thing is some how it was never enough. I know you always had that strong feeling of doing something with

Wealth - In a Manor of Speaking

This year for Easter my partner's friend invited a bunch of us out to a country estate she is house sitting. From the moment I arrived, the driveway, framed by trees, gave me a sense of magic and wonder. The home, built in the the early 1900's,  had a romantic, English-styled interior and exterior. It also included an infinity pool and tennis court, all situated on a generous piece of land. Even though grand in size, I felt welcomed with the familiar ambiance of warmth and cosiness, a feeling every home should have. I'm the kind of person who doesn't need others around me but enjoys it none the less. The large space intimidating to some however captivated me. Every corner of the house a place to utilise; a possible area to create and explore. I could very easily see myself reading in one corner and painting in another. The large area meant we were able to comfortably sit together, all eleven of us playing board games before enjoying a drink and discussion. When we we
