...Amore: the Romance of a dress....

Romance has many forms, my favorite of which being a perfect dress. Such a dress might be simple or complex, but its aim is always to use drape, color and texture to make a woman look and feel beautiful.

Yes, today is valentine's day but remember.. love knows no calendar and cannot be constrained into any single day.. it must be celebrated whenever it enters our lives and delicately held onto in hopes that it will never leave. Everyday we take in air we are granted the opportunity to love. Don't let a single day dictate or measure the amount of love you have in your life. Love and romance are beautiful spontaneous forces- you cannot plan them,.. but you can put on a beautiful dress and be ready for them.. :)

Have a truly lovely day everyone!

...Waiting for Spring...

Counting down to the end of cold days we think we'll just wrap ourselves in wispy pastels, delicate florals and frothy dresses with lace and patiently wait for spring's return...

With February less than a day away, romance is on the horizon.. but for us the arrival of such romance has little to do with Valentine's day and more to do with our immanent countdown to the return of Spring and the natural anticipation joy it brings. Spring is a natural awakening.- life and color not only return to the once dormant greenery but to all of us.... we begin to think of the possibilities the new season can hold;  the potential of new joy, new love and new forms of happiness. So if you feel romance in the air, it may just be the slow return of your old friend Spring. :)

Have a lovely day everyone!

January Styling Inspiration: Winder Bundling and Faux Fur

This month we are all about finding chic ways to battle this bitter cold weather and we are finding all the stylish (and warm!) answers we need in faux fur..

 

 

Faux fur is a great way to stay warm and beat the winter style slump and with so many options from vests to collars, stoles and shawls its easy to implement faux fur into any outfit.

Have a lovely, warm day everyone!
