For me, gorgeously styled movies and fashion photos are a guilty pleasure and voyeuristic escape. For a brief moment, I can imagine myself a part of a super fabulous, amazingly glamorous life. The work of Tallahassee artist Anna Kincaide Horne offers a similar experience in her elegantly painted figures.

In my gallery days, I relished the chance to dress up for an opening or special event. Something about wearing heels and a little cocktail dress makes even a work event just a bit more exciting. These days, I ( like many of us! ) live my days in jeans and flip flops. Events for elegant dress are few and far between.

Yet, life still feels glamorous to me. Mr. Forager and are pretty fortunate, we live a life filled with travel and discovery. Even if we’re living it casual-style.
