Guest Post: Sophia's Palette

One of the many things I love about vintage Sophia Loren (besides the fact that she's such a babe) is that she's almost always in colourful outfits that perfectly reflect her wonderful character. Her palettes remind me of the work of Gustav Klimt.

  33. Have you ever seen Bouquets to Art at the DeYoung museum in San Francisco? It kind of reminds me of your post. Florists from all over create a bouquet inspired by the classical paintings in there. Its an amazingly clever and beautiful exhibit and I strongly recommend!
