lush lilac
Won’t you come on in?
Miracles I guess,
Still happen now and then.
Step into my heart,
Leave your cares behind,
Welcome to my world
Built with you in mind.
Knock, and the door will open,
Seek, and you will find,
Ask, and you’ll be given
The key to this world of mine.
I’ll be waiting here
With my arms unfurled,
Waiting just for you,
Welcome to my world.

The Lush Lilac Fantasy was inspired by living life through la vie en rose, while endlessly reimagining my own experiences through colored-glasses. living in a world created around reclaimed melancholy and anguish, I choose to live la vie en lilas.
The name comes from Lady Gaga’s cover of Lush Life ( by Billy Strayhorn ) and my favorite color, lilac, a shade of purple.
Immersing the viewer in a multi-sensory experience, Lush Lilac is so much more than an aesthetic — it’ IS a lifestyle.
