{glamorous detail: flowers at the waist}

Adore the layered shades of paprika, saffron and apricot in the Rochas Spring 2010 collection in Paris, but most of all, flowers at the waist . . .

{p.s.} a fun quote:
"Girls do not dress for boys. They dress for themselves, and of course, each other. If girls dressed for boys, they'd just walk around naked . . ."

-- Betsey Johnson

{runway inspiration: valentino + paris}

The runways of Paris were filled with the soft, fluttering tones of nude, rose, lavender, grey and gold of Milan, London and New York in the form of floaty, short, and sheer party dresses swirling with organza, tulle, antique lace and chiffon . . .




. . . and with the lovely addition of London-based milliner Philip Treacy's stunning stilettos made of lace wings tracing upward from the heels . . .

. . . the runways of milan were wispy pink, ivory and ecru, in linen and tulle and ruffles and frills, all mixed with softly frayed edges, loosely piled hair and high, high heels wrapped in bows . . .



{p.s.}
* more wispy loveliness at the side project
* aren't the perspex clutches stunning?
