I just love it all, from Schiaparelli and Charles James to Paul Smith and Vivienne Westwood via Yves St Laurent; from Renee Breton to Agyness Deyne; Cecil Beaton, Sieff and Avedon to Helmut Newton and David Bailey, Ferragamo to Louboutin...

Some of my favourite things: my ever growing vintage collection, (and especially finding good vintage in charity shops!), cashmere cardigans, blunt cut bobs, strict tailoring, leather gloves, Fred Astaire, asymmetry, cocktail rings, The Sartorialist, vintage Lucite handbags, English eccentricity, modern art, Klimt colours, amber jewellery, silk scarves, Japanese style, Lee Miller, books and libraries, old b&w movies, Erte, William Morris, androgeny, 20's and 30's glamour, ballet pumps, modern architecture, Rene Gruau, red lipstick and grown up perfume, crisp white shirts, Otis Redding, art deco, Cole Porter, tango shoes, the Jazz Age, Josephine Baker, Hollywood glamour and glitz, minimalism...

(My job, trees, and my family - obviously!)

If these are your throwaways, then I'm looting the goods!
I just deleted all the items in my closet. I am very proud. So, NO, I am not going to allow myself to steal anything from you. I have collected way to many new things already.
well, that“s not so bad to hoard stuff, one never knows what they like tomorrow;=)

Some day, when I'm awfully low,
When the world is cold,
I will feel a glow just thinking of you...
And the way you look tonight.

Yes you're lovely, with your smile so warm
And your cheeks so soft,
There is nothing for me but to love you,
And the way you look tonight.

With each word your tenderness grows,
Tearing my fear apart...
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose,
It touches my foolish heart.

Lovely ... Never, ever change.
Keep that breathless charm.
Won't you please arrange it ?
'Cause I love you ... Just the way you look tonight.

Mm, Mm, Mm, Mm,
Just the way you look to-night.

"The Way You Look Tonight" featured in the film Swing Time, originally performed by Fred Astaire, written by Jerome Kern with lyrics by Dorothy Fields.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPUAHTWQ6Ps

For this challenge, I felt that this song, dedicated to how wonderful someone can make you feel (when you are adored), represented all that is good and uplifting in poetry...

p.s. My look is designed around what I think she was planning to wear before Fred came along and started singing to her!!
