Those Chanel booties drive me crazy! I want them soo bad!! I think Zoe Kravitz said at the Chanel show that she was going to get them. Lucky her. :/
I love this post! Bowas are just adorable. That first piece was absoutly shocking, but in a good way. <3

LenoreNeverM♡re said...

Make Do Style said...

Yes to Chloe. The prettiness of bows is much underestimated.
I think I'd like to step out in Jean Paul Gaultier too!

Girl Next Blog said...

Bows are so girly and cute!

And I saw these Christian Lacroix sandals some weeks ago and I immediately felt in love with them!

Great selection, as usual.

That first dress was stunning! I love bows, they remind me of presents lol. I love wearing a bow tie, its like having an outfit thats finished to be present if that makes sense :)

Marian said...

soft dreams are made off indeed!i think this is great as you can go all the way with a dress or just dip a toe into the trend with a clutch or ribboned cuff.
The Ashley Isham and
Amaya Arzuaga dresses at start of post are AMAZING!

I love the Chloe dress.
Also, remember when Viktor and Rolf did those bow dresses a couple seasons back? Amazing!

Great Plains Bazaar said...

I love the Jean Paul Gaultier and my favorite is the Sass & Bide ribbon shift dress. I just really like the brights and flowing ribbons as opposed to big bows.

The Marchesa gown is breathtaking--it's a wearable sculpture!

ribbon detailing is so pretty but I like it as a smaller detail. Don't know if I could ever do that BIG bow!

AsianCajuns said...

I love grosgrain ribbons- they seem so luxurious without being ostentatious.

Denise said...

Oooooh, Where can I buy the "must have" red purse with the grograin ribbons?

Love all what your blog shares♡

Candidly Chris said...

yes to ribbon and grosgrain! I feel Lanvin did it best in his Fall collection, and his significance behind all the ribbon is simply beautiful!!

First two dresses, Carlos Miele, and all by Christian Lacroix.
