And Then, There Was One..

The turning of a page, a beginning in medias res.
Since it is my very first post, I think it only right to introduce "Dressing Elizabeth", and tell you a little bit about it. I'm very passionate about what the Italians call "Le Belle Arti", the beautiful arts, and I've had the idea of creating a blog for quite a while, but it just never seemed like the right time to start and I postponed it again and again. Then, out of the blue, someone close to me who had no idea of my contemplating this blog, told me I should start something like this. BOOM. So here I am.

Cinephile, photographer, fashion addict, Anglophile, writer - all of these describe me in some way.. nevertheless, in the end, they're just labels. I want more. You'll notice, as the blog grows, that I have a flair for the dramatic. I adore the Roaring 20s and the Swingin' 60s, the glamour of Old School Hollywood, the British stiff upper lip and any road trip tune that makes a head bob in acknowledgement. I appreciate different cultures and I'm an avid traveller. After a long day, I relax with classic literature, Billie Holiday or "Gone With The Wind" (Fleming, 1939), which is one of my favourite films of all time. And I believe this is sufficient for a first post -

I bid you welcome to "Dressing Elizabeth".
