{ costume of the day } theodosia ambrosia
today i have to say goodbye to my most favorite necklace yet:
... the theodosia:
she was inspired by my unending love for the court style of 'marie antoinette' ~ but this time not by the heroine, la dauphine, but by her extravagant antagonist madame du barry. in my research of du barry's sultry style, i discovered that in 1917 silver screen star theda bara ~ whose real name was 'theodosia' ~ was the first film actress to portray her in the movies:
(theda bara as madame du barry)
when working with rhinestones and ribbons, what better inspiration could one ask for?!?
with a heavy sigh, i'm sending my dear 'theodosia' off to shrimpton couture today, where she's already available for pre-order, along with with the la dauphine couplet (click on photo to jump to listing):
but of course i was way too weak not to wear her just once before i bid adieu!
