It's so weird how much I used to loathe pastels, but now slowly I'm starting to accept them.

You've found some gems.

Love Grace.

Averill said...

I love lavender (well, purple in all its forms, really) -- we must've been riding the same stylish wavelength today, CC!

Lisa said...

I can wear light pink and jewel-toned purple but for some reason lavender and lilac look awful on me. I can still work this trend into my look with purple eyeshadow and nail polish, though! Small doses of this hue seem to be okay.

Wow! What a lovely give-away. Lavender is such a glorious color. I remember my mom had a beautiful sari in the loveliest hue of lavender. Love the Etro dress, and the ruffled Cami top. They are both so feminine and wearable.

I've never thought much of lavender before, as far as fashion goes, but these are gorgeous pictures (that VS bikini Miranda is wearing is a great cut) - you may just have changed my mind. :)

Lavender is so gorgeous looking, wish I could say the same for the scent too. Apart from blue, Lavender was a hot fav at the Oscars.

I so love lavender, I have lots of this colour in my wardrobe. It is pretty but has a little more edge than pink xx

Unknown said...

lovely lavender! i was never really into this colour until i started acquiring some vintage pieces and what do you know - they're all in this shade. i promise you it's not deliberate. lol.

thanks for dropping by, CC!

SabinePsynopsis said...

Personally I find lavender a difficult hue to wear, but when it goes towards grey (like the M. Kors dress) then it's so lovely!

daisychain said...

I'm starting to love lavender, just need some pieces in my closet now.

erika sorocco said...

Ooh, Etro and Halston are my absolute favorites - the draping and flow of each piece is divine.

Congratulations Ruth!! :)
