Up in the sky, a man in a plane

Forget worthless "Boo-hoo Imma big baby ; n ;" post (nevertheless, I would still like to thank all of you who posted a support comment; I highly appreciate it! ...and you guys made me feel all warm and fuzzy and... THANK YOU VERY MUCH t(; u ; t)... also, please, forgive that post, too! forget it and bury it in the deepest part of oblivion).

And SO! Moving on...! Fashion, once again... more specifically, Military Inspired Fashion, courtesy of Burberry Prorsum's Fall 2010 Collection!

From what I've seen, Burberry's special charm and signature pieces are, mainly their beautifully fitting jackets and sophisticated trench coats. It only takes one second to realize how most of their jackets will fit beautifully and grace most body shapes. The construction is amazingly well-thought, each line is placed right where it should be; there's nothing extra and over the top ruinning the whole outfit and turning it into an overly-thought disaster; nor there is anything missing, giving the sense of lazy, incomplete garments. I would even dare to say, most of their pieces will never turn "uncool" nor "unflattering", no matter how much trends change. No, you can't go wrong with Burberry.

And then, I came across this collection... and fell in love and became dazzled by it! Forever and until the very end of times O u O ♥ Where on Earth would one expect to see military and delicate mixed together in such a glorious way? (Excited post is excited, it seems) Seriously! Herr Bailey, in my opinion, trully, and, most important, beautifully outdid himself for this collection, showing such structural wonders accompanied by the most sober, yet graceful lines; all of which were seasoned with the most simple, sophisticated fabrics resulting in a delicious collection for the "avid for fierce" fashionistas... and mere mortals everywhere! You don't need to have a "Passion for Fashion" to get the military reminiscence the collection was intended to distill. The inspiration for this collection is pretty obvious at times, BUT subtle and it still never feels over the top. The execution is GORGEOUS and it never fails to impress, no matter how many times I look at the different garments.

Am I the only one who keeps hearing the "Snoopy vs The Red Baron" song over and over again just by looking at these clothing marvels? * ^ *

Being a Chic Fashionista Red Baron, of course

Perfect attire for an up in the sky mission, hmm? Would look lovely in a cold weather, as well...
Snowy mountains! Because one never knows where duty will take you to!

Seriously, the only thing missing on this outfit is a -or several- Honor Medals
...Oh! and a whip, too! Because... ermm... that would look quite nice c:

Do you want to know who is terribly beautiful?

Even if your answer was "No, I do not wish to know that as of right now" I will still give you the answer to that really important question: First name: Beautiful. Second name: Tilda. Yes, I'm talking about Beautiful Tilda Swinton! Yes, 'Beautiful' is , in fact, her first name.

Now, this is where all of you should nod your heads 'yes' in agreement!

Good! Now that we're all in the same page, here are some facts:
Miss Swinton was born in London, November the 5th, 1960; meaning she's 49 years old. Could any of you believe that? That's almost half a century! I bet most of us would practically kill to look like that when we turn that age! Or, at least I know I would. Perhaps, I will change my name to Báthory Erzsébet then, but that's a different story.

So, enough nonsense, and back with Beautiful Tilda!
Apart from her beautiful face, she's a well respected actress: has won several important awards, such as an Oscar, for her role in Michael Clayton, a BAFTA, for the already mentioned movie and a Copa Volpi a la Mejor Actriz, for Eduard II. Quite a talented artist, she is. I highly enjoy the choices she has made all over her actress life. I also admire the way she successfully has moved between the deep-field-art-performances towards quality Hollywood blockbusters. She tends to choose strong, interesting characters; most of the times with an androgynous look and behaviour to them.

And, talking about androgyny...! Wasn't that the very first word that came to your mind the second you saw Beautiful Tilda's picture? In my head, that was the case. Tilda is simply visually striking. Yes, she doesn't have the 'typical' kind of beauty, but, sometimes, it is better to have an interesting, unique look, rather than just a standard kind of beauty, hmhmm?


First of all, look at her cheekbones! They are really high and well-defined. Her green piercing eyes are to die for... and that jawline...! so feminine and delicate! all in all, and in words of the Ugliest Step Sister, herself, Tilda's face would be best described with the following, accurate quote: "Her face looks as if it was carved by the very angels".

Look at that face! Look at those cheekbones!

Such a delicate, romantic looking face that will forever make my soul rotten in bitter jealousy ; n ;

Since I'm quite sure most of you will have to agree with me up to this point, I will now leave you with a small Gallery with pictures from Tilda's photoshoot for AnOther Magazine SS09 6.

Enjoy!

When will she stop looking like a perfect sculpture?
