    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

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

    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.

    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 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.
