secret comfort novels and inspirational ads
Monday, June 27, 2011
I was in need of a little inspiration lately and Marc Jacobs' campaigns usually do the trick. I love how whimsical and mysterious all of his collections are. This particular launch is my favourite in so many ways. It screams 'The Secret Garden', the magical novel written by one of my favourite authors, Frances Hodson Burnett. I know I'm not the only one who thinks his books are not only calming, but also classic and are great for when you have major writers block. The plot lines are so inspiring and can trigger other story ideas as well. Now, where were we? Ah, the Marc Jacobs campaign. The outfits in Fall 2010 are so vintage and the girls in white above look like charming characters from each novel. I have once featured a snapshot of one of the images on this blog here, but did not fully write about it. You can look at the rest of the wonderful photographs here. Now, I think I will go wrap myself up in a blanket, enjoy the winter sunlight outside on the garden swing and read about Sara Crewe's triumph or Mary Lennox's change of heart. Have a lovely Monday!
p.s: Don't forget to enter Jessica Marie's latest giveaway! You could win some wonderful John Frieda hair products!

I love "The Secret Garden". It's my fav book from my childhood♥
I love the first picture, it is very sweet. The Secret Garden used to be one of my favourite books as a child, I even used to pretend that I had my own secret garden in the backyard!

Thanks for reminding me of the Secret Garden, I read that book when I was younger and my imagination just went crazy thinking about how amazing the Secret Garden would be :)
