let them eat cake.

I couldn't watch Marie Antoinette by the one and only Sofia Coppola and not take on her whole persona and demand my sister serve me éclairs and macaroons. Well actually I couldn't do that but I was very much inspired by the beautiful costumes and candy pinks and blues in everything she owned as well as the detailed presentations of shoes and cakes and fabrics OH MY! Not to mention feathers and the ruffled skirts 2 metres in diameter. 

 Shoes are Funkis, vintage dress. The feathers around my hair were part of a costume I found and I pinned some old ribbon around my neck and some fake flowers on my dress. 
Sometimes I do consider myself  hoarder as I can never bring myself to throw possessions away. There is always that voice nagging you, 'You never know what you might need it for' which evidently saved me these fake flowers which I stuck on my shoes.
 Shoes.. and cakes. 
 Ribbons around her neck.
 The wallpaper and the print on her dress, and again the neck ribbons AND POWDERED HAIR. 
 Cake.
   
 Pastel pinks and blues.

Cake, candy colours.
