Allure, beauty & inspiration #8 – Visual coloratura

(Girl with a Pearl Earring, by Johannes Vermeer, ca. 1665, Mauritshuis, Den Haag, 46,5 x 40,0 cm / 18.3 x 15.7 in)

- I consider this  Vermeer’s masterpiece above as my favorite one. When I look at it I always wonder myself who was (no, she wasn’t the très belle Scarlett Johansson actually) and how lived this beautiful and so special girl who lived in the 17th century and was gracefully immortalized to all mankind…

(Siri Tollerød, Vogue Turkey, October 2010)

“The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It’s the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows & the beauty of a woman only grows with passing years.”

— Audrey Hepburn

“- I love white on blondes — it looks ethereal.”

- I totally agree with you, Kirsten! And I always noticed how blue (and its gamma of hues and nuances) outfits look so beautiful and perfectly match on blondes also, especially on those who have blue eyes…
