FLORENCE WELCH: MODERN BOTTICELLI'S VENUS

If I ever liked Florence Welch's from Florence + The Machine style before, now with her second album I could say im completely mesmerized!. Even though i'm not liking this new album as much as i loved the first one, since i think is now more "The Machine" than Florence herself, i would say this is my favorite styling/image from her.

Ever since I saw the "Shake it out" video early October, with her wearing that golden dress I had this impression of a modern day Botticelli's Venus; very femenine with the red wavy hair.  But if I had any doubt of it, I confirmed it when I saw the Chanel spring 2012 runway, when she was singing "What the water gave me" and coming out of a giant shell just like Sandro Botticelli's painting "Birth of Venus". I was a-ma-zed!.

I am freaking loving every single thing she's wearing right now, either on a live presentation or in her videos.  Beautiful embellished goddess like dresses with a kind of a Art Deco inspiration, but yet so modern and edgy!

I'm almost a month away from my oh-so awaited, beloved and deserved summer vacations. Im literally daydreaming about all the things i want to do during my break in my hometown and counting down the days until my crappy/boring semester in college finally ends.

These are the things i'll be up to:

- Going to the beach!... i NEED an overdose of the Caribbean

- Drinking beer + watching baseball games

- Eating tons of tropical fruits

- Laying on the grass of my backyard doing absolutely n-o-t-h-i-n-g

- Playing with my dog

- ROADTRIPS!

- Having a homespa days with my sister doing our nails and brushing our hair

- Having barbecue parties with my cousins + sister

- Pampering my beautiful niece

- Getting a decent tan

- Reading books with non-educational purpouses...probably The Southern Vampire Stories.

- Buying thousands of cool fabrics for self-designed clothes

- Being pampered by all of my family members :)
