As if playing Chanel were not enough, Audrey was also selected to be the face of Chanel No. 5 in what is possibly the most gorgeous commercial ever. Oh wait, that’s right! It’s not just an ad; it’s a short! {Sorry, no embeddable version yet, so just click on the stills and it will take you to the film.}

Love it. Billie Holiday’s “I’m such a fool to love you”, that gorgeous train, the cinematography, I’m about to run out to buy a bottle and I don’t even like the perfume. {I know, gasp! I’m a violet girl, hence my URL.} The influence of Amelie director, Jean Pierre Jeunet, is immediately obvious. Same film tone and all. Also, notice the allusion to Marilyn Monroe’s only wearing No. 5 to bed. Also, I have to give applause to Tinsley of Starbucks & Jane Austen, for making these stills. More at her blog.

Something about these wonderful acrylic and foils reminds me of Klimt and Mucha, even though they were in part inspired by Byzantine icon art.

I first saw these Audrey Corregan photos on Cup of Jo a few days ago, and I had the oddest reaction. I said, “OMG, these are such interesting capes…”, and then I realized, they aren’t at all. No, these are just really interesting photos of birds from the back. But, now I really wish someone would make a cape or hooded jacket that looked like these. I could so see one over a slim black leg and maybe booties in the winter, couldn’t you?

Oh, cute furry things always warm the heart, no? How can you resist these enormous eyes?

…this is possibly the most gorgeous carpet I’ve ever seen. EVER.
