Now and Then: Meryl Streep

>> Tuesday, May 31, 2011 – Now and Then

From a cheerleader in high school to Hollywood's A-List, Meryl Streep has always been such a stunning woman. She is without a doubt one of my favorite actresses and is so versatile (Mamma Mia! to the Devil Wears Prada to Julie and Julia). A funny side note: My beautiful Mom always gets mistaken for her! She is quite lovely as well :)

Now and Then: Audrey Hepburn

>> Monday, March 28, 2011 – Now and Then

Would you expect this gorgeous icon to be any less adorable than little girl in the picture above? Her sweet, soft smile never changed.

Now and Then: Julie Andrews

>> Wednesday, February 2, 2011 – Now and Then

What a cutie! Her little braids and crooked teeth remind me of Pippi Longstocking. That little girl went on to win an Academy Award for best actress in Mary Poppins and was nominated for best actress again for playing Maria in the Sound of Music. Quite funny to see how that gangly little girl would grow up to be one of the most timeless and talented actresses to grace the silver screen.

Now and Then: Queen Elizabeth

>> Wednesday, January 5, 2011 – Now and Then

Would you believe that little girl was destined to be one of the most important figures in the world? I'll bet she had no idea either.

Look to Strasburg Children for beautiful children's clothes with the similar, old-fashioned grace of the young Queen's dress.

"Courage is not simply one of the virtues, but the form of every virtue at the testing point." - C.S. Lewis

"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Somewhere I Have Never Travelled

(By E. E. Cummings) Somewhere I have never travelled, gladly beyond Any experience, your eyes have their silence: In your most frail gesture are things which enclose me, Or which I cannot touch because they are too near Your slightest look easily will unclose me Though I have closed myself as fingers, You open always petal by petal myself as Spring opens (Touching skillfully, mysteriously)her first rose Or if your wish be to close me, I and My life will shut very beautifully ,suddenly, As when the heart of this flower imagines The snow carefully everywhere descending; Nothing which we are to perceive in this world equals The power of your intense fragility: whose texture Compels me with the color of its countries, Rendering death and forever with each breathing (I do not know what it is about you that closes And opens; only something in me understands The voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses) Nobody, not even the rain, has such small hands
