I will never tire of seeing such beautifully ethereal fashions, made of the most delicate fabrics, in shades of white. They're just so incredibly romantic.

Marchesa Spring 2015 RTW

I hope you are having a weekend as lovely as mine has been. There have been walks down streets raining confetti-like white petals from blossoming trees, coffees and pastries at favourite cafes, and many cuddles from my darling little boy (who I can hardly believe will turn one year-old next month!).

I was just glancing at the Marchesa Spring 2015 RTW collection, and I'm utterly smitten with the dreamy florals, delicate ruffles, and floating gauziness I'm seeing. So romantic, so perfect for warm, breezy days, like the ones we've been having here the last few days. 

These frocks are making me want to weave flowers through my hair and go running through a meadow somewhere...

Fab Frock Friday | Like An Angel

"You're an angel, baby... You must be an angel..."

Madonna's song "Angel" just came into my mind, as I was looking at these images. 

This ethereal white gown from the Alexander McQueen FW 2014 collection takes my breath away! The enchanting details of the embroidery--the stars, suns, moons--evoke visions of celestial goddesses in ancient fairy tales. What do you think?

Fab Frock Friday: Valentino FW 2014 RTW

Valentino's FW 2014 ready-to-wear collection was full of the most ethereal, otherworldly dresses, embellished with exquisite embroidery, pretty prints, and shimmery beadwork. Beautifully detailed birds and butterflies bedeck a few of the dresses, while animals and dark florals played across other frocks. Capes suitable for a fairytale lass topped some of the looks, adding a cozy element. My favourite was a pale grey sheer gown, with frosty-looking leaves, perfect for a winter goddess. As I sit here, donning a sweater for the first time this autumn, I'm happily slipping into a cool mood, while gazing upon this beautiful collection.
