 Iris Apfel & Lady Gaga

..Two very different people but they both command attention...

 Amazing couple. I adore them

One is about the fashion industry

The other is about the Entertainment industry

My blog is about inspiration, design & what inspires me to be creative.

These images are purely images to inspire or make your mind work.

It is up to you & I what we do with what we see.

I care to look for the good in things. I Dream with My eyes wide open.

Being someone whom creates, I see with my mind, heart & soul & not with my pocketbook.

It is not about class or money but about being creative.

I see so much more and I do not look for the bad.

If you chose to look for the bad You will find it.

When I write about something & share picture with you all it is to inspire you, make you think & to simply enjoy or not, but no negative talk or judgement is needed here.

It is about what YOU & I can get from within our own mind & what can we do with it.

Many may ask what does any of these pictures have to do with baby & child?

You are right with asking & wondering.

Some whom are creative do not ask & wonder what more is this about... & why on earth would she write about this ~ they take what they can get from the creative images and use it if they can.

I like to be different and I am inspired by fashion.

Fashion fuels my creative soul and I like to share what I find.

If we all went to the same sources and blogged about the same things it would become a little old & boring.

I know I need to focus more, I am working on it. (I'll probably delete this post soon) ; )

For now, this is what moves me & what I happen to come across while I escape my crazy life of being a busy mom to 5 creative daughters.

I am taking a step back from painting(well a little, I'm still doing things for a few people) but I am taking a breather, trying to regroup, refresh & come back with something more to offer to those out there in the World that like my style ~ Joelle Dolce Bebe Style.

All the other wonderful people whom come to see what I am working on or what I have in my shops, You get to see how my mind works & get to know a little more about me & how people like me may come up with what we do.

It is all different.

We are all different.

Those whom are true to their selves and create from their heart are whom I'm sharing for.

I am not fond of those whom steal others blood, sweat & tears ~ & yes that all comes with all the hours & hours we put into our art. Our own work. Hours & hours away from our family to try to help our families. I am not very fond of those leeches. I see them daily run with every new design & not ONE has ever came up with thier own sweat & idea.

Please do not support them & praise them when you see them running with the new best idea or way to blog. .. that you know you seen it elsewhere first.

You know the ones.

The ones selling tons of things & they do good work,(some of them) but none of it was from thier own mind.

So of course they have plenty of rest to start fresh & paint/create up a storm because they were not the ones to stay up countless hours perfecting it all.

We were.

So please next time you notice, don't be quick to have sweet chit chat & praise them just to be nice.

Be nice to someone deserving. Be nice to them but not for something you know they copied.

Please . I am trying to say that as nice as I can. I hope you understand.

..........................................................................................................

Please USE your own mind and lets all try to be Original.

Think from your own mind & heart & you'll love yourself for it. Dream.

With all that said & out of the way........

Enjoy & know I truly appreciate everyone whom comes to visit my blog.

It means the World to me.

Thank You XOXO

Bonne Nuit ~

Holly Golightly Vs. Angelina Jolie....

Ok... here it is. That look I was talking about 2 posts ago... "Wearing pearls and little dress" while doing my housework as the pretty little wife & mommy..... You know the look. Back in the day when life seemed easier. Less hectic & competitive. Women dressed like respectable women and had a certain innocence about them. Alright... I'm in my own little world here and my mind is getting carried away with those times of Doris Day and June Clever and of course Holly Golightly. It is refreshing for me to take a step back & go down memory lane even if it is through Holly Golightly's eyes. It is a much needed stroll away from all the drama. Times have changed. I know, it is not practical for most but I still believe one can have goals and at least TRY to achieve some kind of dignity & respect as a classy woman and becoming mom of the year. ( HA ha...I'll never reach that goal but I'll try to do my best)I'll settle for mom of the day.

I might love those styles in once sense but I also Love today's woman & all she can do in this competitive world, and the Land of possibilities.. I guess I want it all too.

I never thought I would put these two names in the same sentence. Audrey is a fashion Icon and one classy lady & hard act to follow. At one point I despised Angelina Jolie and thought how trashy she acted. Well... who do I think I am to judge. Shame on me and shame on all of us that do it all to often. Yes she made mistakes. She kissed her brother in a strange way, shared viles of blood with Billy Bob (married someone with the name Billy Bob) ~ haha Just kidding.

anyways, my point is... we all go through diff. stages in our life and some take a little more time finding their selves. Some know no better. Some do not grow up. Some learn and some do not. What matters is what your doing now with what you have and what you can do. I might not like everything she has done and I'm sure she could say the same about me. I haven't heard or seen her hurt anyone so I am not one to judge. I am one to admire her awesome photographs and stunning great looks. I LOVE all the photo's of her by the brilliant Mario Testino. Absolutely stunning.

She is now a mother. She needs no ill words from us. What she needs is to be the best mom she can be and protect her children from all the drama, negativity and materialistic hype one can get caught up in. She is a mom just like me. What more or less she has isn't the point. You can't buy Love. You can give it away as much as possible. That is now our main priority.

For children's sake... pray they are loved, taken care of, not forgotten in all the success, have healthy responsible people around them, and Pray they are not a temp. fix, a show piece. Pray they are all happy. All of them.

Remember that. Moms need to be busy loving & do not need anymore drama. For the children's sake. It does make a difference.

( I Need to get off my fashion fix & get creating and find baby & child inspiration... Focus Joelle, Focus.)

Audrey Hepburn....

Need I say more?

"Everything about her is impeccable" ~ Fashion Designer Givenchy.

I had to share this lovely photo. It brought tears to my eyes. I have admired her & have been inspired by her for a million reasons. What a beautiful human being. I am not even talking about her looks or her style. Simply her wonderful self.

I wanted to be an actress like her and play those wonderful roles so innocently and carefree as she did.

I wanted to model and look like her with such grace & charm.

I wanted to design clothes that would be perfect on Audrey.

I wanted to Live in New York and be like Holly Golightly.

I wanted it all.

Audrey inspired me in so many ways.

As I create, a little part of Audrey is in my thoughts, dreams and inspires me to create pretty little things.

The Little black dress & pearls.

I believe that should be a staple in every woman's wardrobe.

I am most compfortable in that dress.

It is what makes me feel like me. 

You can never have enough little black dresses.

You can never go wrong with that style.

Simply Audrey ~ 

Simply classic and ever so lovely.
