{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 . . .

{late summer nights}

. . . crazy, crazy for this stunningly beautiful valentino dress, belted and worn over a vintage christian dior haute couture brassiere and utterly perfect for this summer's endless dinner reservations and sultry nights in the city . . .

{p.s.} nearly always drawn to softer colours & focus in photography, and yet quite adore the drama and high contrast of this shot

{shoes, shoes, shoes}

. . . hello! had posted these bronzy & bedecked with bows valentino peeptoes on the side project this morning, but has been one of those busy, busy days {and so exceptionally sleepy for some reason} and they're so daintily pretty and summer perfect, had to share them here as well -- can imagine them with a pair of tailored city shorts, a high ponytail and a silk blouse . . .

{p.s.} previous shoes: mugnai | chanel | lanvin | louboutin
