    Hi sweetheart,
    this is a gorgeous collection! I was so lucky to had found the green Gucci kimono a while ago... But was too afraid of wearing it - the fabric was soooo, soooooo fine. Then decided to let it go.
    The DIOR lace printed Trompe D'oeil coat is amazing, as well as all the items from that DIOR collection!
    Please come back again, I've added a picture of my vintage Valentino sunglasses, especially for you!!
    Huggies,
    S.
