    I love the silver/brown combination on the Les Copains dress and tights. Quite unusual but really gorgeous!

    Adorable post, darling!
    You have a bad day too, or just enjoy in silver?
    I just wrote about bad day and white-silver-black combinations.

    Creo que me gusta más el dorado para vestidos y el plata para accesorios con ropa en negro, pero has puesto vestidos plateados muy bonitos...
    Great post!! (como siempre ^^)

    Silver is so pretty; but so hard to wear!! One has to always be wary of crossing the "tarty" line~

    I never thought it would happen, but silver has finally usurped gold as my metallic of choice. And it feels so right.
