33 years old lady, historian, romantic. This is a home for my favorite things: books, films, writing, traveling and anything with a story to tell that stirs the soul and inspires poetry.

“Gentlemen. I find it strange. You are poets, each one of you and speak of your muse in the feminine. And yet you appear to feel neither tenderness nor respect towards your wives, nor towards females in general.”

Orlando (1992) directed by Sally Potter

Daphne Guinness “laid to rest” wearing a sheer Alexander McQueen bodysuit and antique veil, and an 18 K platinum chain-mail glove decorated with birds and branches fashioned from 5000 pavé white diamonds - a collaboration between Ms. Guinness and jewellery designer Shaun Leane entitled “Contra Mundum” (“Against the World”). 

“It was always to do with feeling that the world was quite a dangerous place. Also I dislike the idea of jewellery being like a price tag around someone’s neck. It needs to be something else – and there is something extremely magical about armour.” - Daphne Guinness
