Saccharine = Summer 2014 Inspiration

When I grow up I want to be a mermaid.... 

Inspired by paintings, colors, textures, waves, free to roam, and ready to sparkle..

When I am a mermaid I will be saccharine..... as sweet as sugar but salted by the ocean...

In + Spi + Red = Fall Picks from Net-A-Porter

I have this impregnable fascination with fantasy.
Sometimes I want to be a wizard, not a witch.
If I were able to, and this is a stretch, dress however I liked with the designers that I liked, at this very moment, I'd probably be wearing some of these things... just think wizard, not witch.
