Twinning every colorway of Valeria!

I don't know why I shoved myself into centre position here, especially because of the sticker😂

Valeria is one of my favourite prints/pieces of all time and I'm overjoyed we could bring all 4 colourways together (I'm excluding the 2011 brown version because it's so different).

I didn't know Filoli would be decked out for the holidays and it was such a lovely estate, I couldn't have asked for somewhere better to take photos. Unfortunately it started raining hard by the afternoon, but we warmed up later!

I actually thought Filoli was some kind of lolita studio or special event because of the cute name, I was surprised it was in fact an estate/garden and an abbreviation of Fight/Love/Live.

This caption is getting long but it was so wonderful to hang out with fast friends @petit-piaf @ordovicienne, rabbitreverie, I never thought I'd be able to meet like-minded fashion enthusiasts from around the continent by posting my outfits online! The entire time is now a treasured memory 🥺

All clothes are Mary Magdalene except socks (assorted offbrand) and shoes (free choice... mine are BtSSB but unsure about others)

Beautiful shot of the Filoli ballroom that was posted on the official Filoli website. This was the angle of the shot in the pilot where Krystle takes a deep breath and walks down the aisle to marry Blake.

In a field where being underpaid is sadly all too common, its good to see progress being made.

Wednesday’s meeting of presidents Joe Biden and Xi Jinping at Filoli adds even more history to the fascinating and illustrious Bay Area mansion. Although this meeting will certainly have more geopolitical implications, a moment captured in Filoli’s library 42 years ago changed pop culture forever. 

...

With his fortune, Bourn built or bought some of the most beautiful homes in California and Ireland: Villa Eden Del Mar on Pebble Beach’s 17-Mile Drive, Bourn Mansion at 2550 Webster St. in San Francisco, Muckross House in Killarney, Ireland, and Filoli in Woodside. The pseudo-Italian name was a mashup of letters from Bourn’s credo: “Fight for a just cause. Love your fellow man. Live a good life.”

After William and wife Agnes’ deaths, the mansion was bought by Lurline Matson Roth, the heiress to the Matson shipping empire. Due to the immense costs of maintaining the estate, the mansion was in decline when Roth gifted it to the National Trust for Historic Preservation in the 1970s. It was restored and opened to the public for tours.

...

But its true star turn came in 1981 when a new soap opera called “Dynasty” shot its three-episode pilot there. The sexy, scandalous lives of the Carrington family unfolded in their Denver mansion, which was actually Filoli. Stars John Forsythe, Linda Evans, Pamela Sue Martin and Al Corley filmed in the home and gardens, including a scene in the Filoli library that would make television history. It was there that son Steven Carrington came out to patriarch Blake Carrington, making Steven the first openly gay lead on a primetime drama.
