Here are my latest finds and news from fashion, style, film, photography and beautiful living.
This past weekend I visited my parents and we took a one-day trip up North of my hometown. We stopped for coffee and refreshments at this beautiful place, called Maldăr Manor (Horezu, Romania), and all I can say is that I am planning to go back for an entire weekend.
• My film recommendation this week: Abre los ojos
• Christy Turlington Burns talks posing in her Calvins at 44, beauty and family life.
• More beauty and body tips, this time from “The Body” herself, Elle Macpherson.
• This look makes me want to wear more white on white.
• If you happen to be in Rome this summer: the Frida Kahlo exhibition, bringing together the artist’s works from the most important public and private collections in Mexico, Europe and the United States.
• This beautiful photo by Andrew Jacona.
• Q&A with Tom Ford:
“I’ve probably only recently begun really adjusting to today’s world. It’s horrible. What is expected of fashion designers today is unsustainable. […] No one is anything except exhausted and pressured in the fashion world. You don’t have a moment to reflect, with four collections a year for men, four for women, all these mini collections all the time. And the fact that Cruise is now shown with these giant productions means it’s no longer what it was supposed to be, which was clothes that were maybe not strong enough to show but were your real bread and butter, the clothes that women wanted to wear.”

This place is seriously Idyllic! Gorgeous!
that place looks so lovely and relaxing. and that house is so charming! i hope you will be able to get back there soon.
i would absolutely love to visit both Rome and the Frida Kahlo exhibit. i know i have seen ‘open your eyes,’ but i am having a hard time remembering it. i’ll have to revisit that one. xo
I just love anything Christy Turlington! so enjoyed this interview with her.
That super elixir Elle speaks of sounds interesting too. I remember watching a bit of Abre Los Ojos a few years back; but didn’t see most of it. But I knew Vanilla Sky was a remake and from what I remember of that; it was interesting to say the least.
Ada; check your first pinterest link as it appears twice as your Andrew Jacona link you mention. Have a great weekend:)
When I saw Vanilla Sky, I didn’t know it was a remake, and I must say I thought it was interesting, too. But watching the original, I realized that a remake remains a remains. Thank you for the heads up on the link, Helen.
You always have such nice links Ada, could not agree more with Tom Ford and hoping that Frida Kahlo exhibit comes to the US. Your trip sound wonderful, hope you get to go back soon!

That looks like a beautiful place Ada, I hope you get to visit soon so that you can share more photos with us. Would love to see the interior too. And thanks for the movie recommendation, I’m always on the look out for good Spanish movies to watch. Have a great week xx
