♥ These Women

She is fabulous! An awesome chef AND fantastic photographer. That's like, two dream jobs at one!

Nigella Lawson
I think I don't need to explain who Lawson is to those who love to watch TLC or AFC. But what most of her viewers don't know is, Nigella Lawson came a long way before becoming a domestic goddess she is now. She was born to a perfect family, but her parents' divorce had led her to a troubled childhood, and by the time she was 41, she already lost her mother, sister, and husband to cancer. Beautiful, a great cook, and a survivor :-)   


Ellen von Unwerth
One of the few leading ladies of fashion photography. I admire her 'fairytale' touch that she brings to almost all of her photographs.



Sofia Coppola
I'm pretty sure you ever watched (or at least, heard of) the likes of Marie Antoinette (2006), The Virgin Suicides (1999), and Lost in Translations (2003), meet the woman who was the writer, director, and producer of those films! Coppola came from a famous family, but she made a name on her own when she became the first American woman ever to be nominated for an Academy Award for directing. She has won an Oscar for best original screenplay for Lost in Translations (2003). She makes me want to be a film-maker every time I think of her. Although I love all of her movies, my personal favorite gotta be the Miss Dior Chérie commercial she did for Christian Dior, starring Maryna Linchuk. The perfect city, perfect clothes, perfect scenery... oh well, a girl could dream, couldn't she ;p
