    Stunning-I love the deep red backless gown with the train especially. But I hope she didn't have to walk too far in those shoes! Enjoyed your guest post also.

    There's something very classic in a staircase... makes me think of old film stars in flowing dresses! Love the Backstage at Luca Luca, I reallylike the feather in the hair look! :) I also adored the Terry Richardson ode to the Sound of Music and the Italian Vogue shot with the kitties is adorable!

    Sorry for the long comment dear CC, wishing you a wonderful weekend!♥

    OOOOOWWW I love staircases ! They are so freudian, cinematographic ( Hitchock is the ultimate example ), theater-like, and... I just adore them.

    Seriously GREAT idea !!
