Helena Bonham Carter chanelling Frida Kahlo?

with flowers in her hair much like the famed artist Frida Kahlo, Helena Bonham Carter was traipsing around London in her saffron / custard yellow tiered skirt with tulle overlay. She teamed the outfit with a black lace camisole and black cardigan despite the summer heat! Love that retro tan crossbody bag too...

Helena Bonham Carter wore the same skirt earlier this year in Italy, as she is seen going grocery shopping with her male friend. I totally love her fearless and fierce style!

I also like this rose print dress on her!

and I just want to add these oilcloth floral shoes to HBC's outfit...

they go with the flowers in her hair?

how about this yellow eyelet skirt...

this H&M black crinkle camisole top

this mustard / saffron yellow waterfall cardigan...

and this black lace top...

this amber roses necklace

a coral bakelite bangle...

mahjong bracelet...

topped off with something like this rustic looking yellow jasper nugget strand...

and this saffron yellow hued amber necklace...

and these blonde tortoiseshell sunglasses...

 or even these retro amber frame sunglasses...

with the broad arms that help to make them look so vintage...

cognac bag with lace edges and cutouts...

Colors of Tibet

I love this THANGKA from Tibet which features Green Tara, a Bodhisattva in traditional Tibetan colors of red, saffron, yellow, burgandy, pinks...
It inspired me to make some scarves from materials which my sister had brought back from India on her first visit there... Love the deep saffron orange hue of this sari material that has a gold embroidered edge -- also makes me think of ancient Rome...

this short sleeve coral denim jacket...

a Chadwick's of Boston red trench coat and a bright yellow silk scarf with red detail...

a closeup of the scarf I created...

this neon yellow bandana...

and this mondavi for target neon yellow messenger bag

and a gorgeous burgandy scarf with deep yellow motifs paired with a sunny yellow hooded trench...

a better view of the trench from Walmart...

and this saffron yellow denim jacket when a coat is excessive...

This yellow and white gingham tiered skirt...

Neon yellow moccasins

couldn't resist these Birkenstock type sandals at Walmart for $9.99...

and these saffron / marigold peeptoe shoes in faux patent leather...

this saffron tee would go well with the saffron peeptoe shoes...

that will team well with this saffron scarf...

and finally a pair of red crocs for a couple of bucks!

this chunky amber necklace...

this yellow jasper nugget strand...

or even this yellow aventurine strand...

these blonde tortoiseshell sunglasses...

and these vintage amber frame sunglasses...

 that look so retro with their broad arms...

these orange sunglasses...

or these cranberry red sunglasses...

And here are some of favorite images of Tibet and my inspiration...

saffron jacket and cool shades!

a scene from the movie, Seven Years in Tibet, a cinematic feast for the eyes...

                                                  loving these amazing Tibetan masks...
