Photo Love {Inspiration}: Embracing glamour at home

April 25, 2011
Like charity, I believe that glamour should begin at home.

Confession:I sometimes love dressing up even if I’m just staying at home (of course if my home had the vaulted ceilings and beautiful molding of the one above, I’d probably do it more often.)  Sometimes, I feel a little more glamorous just by wearing something glamorous.  These stunning gowns with the voluminous trains have me instantly thinking of glamour.   But this feeling isn’t necessarily only invoked by a beautiful gown, it could arise if I try on a beautiful piece of jewelry handed down by a great aunt or if I decide to sip champagne on a Wednesday evening.  I suppose glamour can definitely be a state of mind and here’s to wishing you a glamorous week wherever you are!
Have a lovely week!

    Such gorgeous photos! I love the first one, may actually use it for my uni project! Thanks for the inspiration. I have to admit I’m struggling as I’ve been doing the same one for 4 months!

    I like the thought of dressing up just to dress up 🙂 I definitely have to at least look ok or else I feel totallylazy and unmotivated!

  • BigAppleNosh April 25, 2011 at 17:24

    Lovely photos – have a wonderful week!

    I love dressing up sometimes even though I’m staying at home too 🙂 (I actually feel more productive then). Stunning images!

  • Shop N' Chomp April 25, 2011 at 18:41

    There is something intensely glamorous about long trains. *sigh* <3 those pics!

    (Haha…yes! My tote actually came with a strap but I look dorky with it…lol. My hubs loves the Kelly more too. I’m more often than not in casual garb so it would look funny on me though I think. =\ Anyhoo, hope you have a great week too! =)

  • Anu@My Dream Canvas April 25, 2011 at 20:00

  • Katherine April 25, 2011 at 21:54

    Love these beautiful images especially the one with the giraffe! So ethereal 🙂 And I adore dressing up at home though I usually like being in my PJs!

    For your question my bag is the Chanel WOC – I’ll probably do a post on it in the future 🙂

  • Amira April 25, 2011 at 22:22

    Fantastic pics!!! Great inspiration!

  • THE ALTERNATIVE WIFE April 25, 2011 at 22:23

    Do you know, I do the same! Love all of these pix. They make me feel very glam as I’m sitting here looking at a clothes drying rack in the middle of my living room 🙂

  • third room studio April 25, 2011 at 22:55

    Sometimes it just takes a great pair of heels and I am a totally different person! Love these pics.

  • Jess April 26, 2011 at 00:02

    I’m right there with you – I wear dresses around the house all the time, even if we’re not going anywhere 😉

    These photos are magical…sigh. I want to have a glamorous week! Unfortunately, when I’m home alone, the first thing I want to do is put on pajamas and curl up with a blanket. Lol. Not very glamorous at all, I’m afraid. Sigh.

  • Anya adores April 26, 2011 at 08:20

    JUST gorgeous – Love it to the max

  • Kimberlee April 26, 2011 at 18:49

    OMG gorgeous! I don’t think I ever dressed up while at home. I have to pay for laundry in my apartment building so to me it’s a waste of clothes that I don’t want to pay for haha

  • honey my heart April 26, 2011 at 22:27

    dressing up is so much fun! i love that even if i stay home, dressing up makes me feel happy. hope you have a wonderful week!

    Well spoken! I dress up ALL the time at home, even when wearing PJ’s (they’re peach colored satin), and just love it. I’ll wear heels too, nothing makes me feel better than high heeled shoes with red lipstick 🙂
