i spy: a brave climber, Wiener Werkstätte wishes, a dashing designer, and Giggle Juice

Wiener Werkstätte designs, German timber framed houses, masked Austrian "wild man" creatures...there's definitely a bit of a theme to many of my inspirations lately.  My interest in Charles Rennie Mackintosh and the Glasgow School goes back a bit further (and he had ties to the Wiener Werkstätte, too), but I had no idea the Scottish designer/architect was so very dashing.  

Of course, I have long been inspired by the spunky style of Shirley Maclaine.  And check out my newest style icon, Maureen, the Marchioness of Dufferin and Ava.  How fantastic is she?  I can totally see myself--and either of those gals--donning those amazing Dessès rhinestone gloves and drinking a concoction from the Giggle Juice book.

You can see more of this (plus a healthy dose of Christoph Waltz, you have been warned) on my Tumblr and Pinterest.
