Back in August, my mother, my sister and I did a three day roadtrip to Lake Placid in New York State, where the 1932 and 1980 Winter Olympics were hosted. We hiked and visited Adirondack natural wonders the two first days, but because my health was starting to fail me on the second day, we kept the third one for visiting the Downton Abbey costume exhibition at the Lake Placid Center for the arts.

On our way to the exhibit, we passed by the Pines Inn, formerly known as the St. Moritz Hotel, a hotel built in 1907. I had wanted to stay at that hotel, but my mom refused, saying it was in poor shape and looked haunted on the hotel booking sites (she wasn't wrong, but I love that stuff, as you know). I still insisted for us to at least visit it, and we sure did NOT regret it. We stumbled upon one of the concierges (or new owners, correct me if you see this!), and he loved my outfit so much that he gave us a tour of the hotel, including in areas closed to guests. He told us that Albert Einstein and the Kennedys had been guests at the hotel, that there was n*de sunbathing on the roof in the 1930s and that a lot of the furniture was original. Sadly, after the 80s, the hotel slowly went into decrepitude and abandonment, and many things got stolen and damaged. The new owners are currently working hard to restore the hotel, and it's indeed a lot of work.

Callot Soeurs (Callot sisters) was a leading Paris fashion design house from 1895 through the 1920s. The fashion house was operated by the sisters Regina, Marie, Marthe and Joséphine Callot.

They were taught by their mother, a lacemaker. The eldest sister, Marie was a trained dressmaker. The sisters started out embellishing lingerie and blouses with antique ribbon and lace. The enterprise quickly took a turn for success as the sisters began creating their own dress designs.

my favourite historical era to daydream about is that span of a few decades between 1890 and 1914ish. late victorian, fin de siècle, edwardian. there’s just something so exciting about it. the world on the brink of radical change, of catastrophe and decimation but they don’t know that for now, the twentieth century hasn’t been inaugurated as the bloodiest quite yet, all that looms ahead is a boundless bouquet of potential, invention, adventure. a turning point in time. spiritualism and the hereafter are in the air all clashing and collaborating and cooperating with rationality and progress and scientific advancement, technology and faith, mysticism and machines, the arts marching on into modernism and abstraction but not quite yet; there’s a future on your doorstep, the air is full of love and precognition and imagination. get out there in your hot air balloon and watch the world turn on its axis, holding its breath

also the fashion’s pretty cool
