My favourite dress of this post has to be the peach Marchesa Resort one! It's just divine!

Love that detailed pieces. put a simple top soo prety and different! kiss
Hey CC! Gorgeous post! I'm a huge fan of all things embellished, especially straps and necklines.
I recently bought a colourful, egyptian-style beaded collar that can dress up a simple top or dress like the beautiful examples you've shown here. Can't wait to wear it!
Hope you're having a great weekend. Take care :)

Oh my, I am in love with that Marchesa resort dress. Just lovely!
Viktoriya Sasonkina is so gorgeous. I'm kind of in love with that Christian Lacroix Puff Dress. Fabulous finds - as always! :)
love it :)
beautiful....i'm loving the orange piece the most! I'm thinking orange will be my new favorite color for spring!
Ok, I am obsessed with those jenny packham dresses. The details and the softness are just amazing! Happy Sunday Carrie. xx
What I love about these pictures is that they show straps don't have to be fussy - they can be striking and elegant. Great post as always, CC x
I love reading your blog - and I love the one strap over the shoulder look. Its AMAZING!
I really love the extremely bedazzled straps that are more like fancy jewelry than something to keep your clothing in place!! I actually saw Jenny Packham’s sorbet hues dress and drooled over the strap... thanks for letting me do it again.
Love the catherine malandrino dresses.
They look so elegant and detailled, but still young.
