Love this selection! There's nothing more ladylike and chic yet edgy as lace... especially for the Fall months! Adore the Chanel and Dior pieces. Oh, and I think Must get those long fingerless gloves.. an update to the Madonna look! Hope you're having a lovely week so far!

That first black dress with those adorable shoes...I die. Soooo gorgeous. And I am aching for that Chanel couture dress with the gloves. I'm going to be daydreaming about lace gowns all day now. :)

erika sorocco said...

I truly don't think there is anything more feminine than a touch of lace. Loving the Phillip Lim Resort piece - wouldn't it be the most fabulous frock to say "I Do" in? :)

Tights Lover said...

Great post. Who doesn't love lace? The Chanel Couture dress was my favorite.

Why am I just seeing these Chloe tights for the first time now? Where can I get them??

Have a great day!

Tights Lover said...

Thanks so much, Carrie! That was so fast!

Diego R. Wyatt said...

Lace done right is so amazingly chic! I am in love with the Colette Dinningan resort dress. Paired with some great heels, that dress would own the night. I also love the Stela McCartney suit. The juxtaposition of structure and tailoring with the softness of the lace is great.

Mmm, I LOVE that Christian Dior couture =) That picture is absolutely beautiful.
I love lace...I think it's beyond sexy =)

OpƩ - Style Artist said...

I am loving lace. I was facing challenges with styling it outside of showcasing nudity as far as interpretation in editorials, it definitely adds more shock value in editorals but I do love the romantic aspect of the utilization of lace this season.
Plus I love Dior's take.

Great post.

Most laces are using sexy ways!
Chanel's S/S 10 seemed to look cute.
Valentino looks elegant and sensual!

The best lacy way i think is stoic Prada's A/W08-09.

It is good that you like Viveka Bergstrom's jewels!!
I just thought that her many jewels fit for you:)

Taylor Sterling said...
