Lace Love



I'm out of touch with fashion. It was only last week that I discovered the April issue of French Vogue featuring Gisele on the cover. The magazine caught my eye through a store window while on a walk through SOHO. Needless to say, I've thought about it since. Mostly because of the lace - my latest obsession and flair of choice.

Let's face it, there's nothing wrong with showing a little lace. Where's the harm? Feminine, delicate, timeless - I'm loving the lace. I'm loving how it reminds of when I went to Burano, the Venetian island that specializes in lace. I'm loving how it softens any look, how it evokes another era. Ah, lace. Lace love. Love.

How gorgeous is this photograph of Gisele? I learned that Dolce & Gabbana designed the dress she's wearing on the cover. After a quick skip over to Style.com, I discovered these dresses from the Spring 2011 collection. Like I said, I'm a little out of touch when it comes to fashion. Better late than never...especially when it comes to lace.

















love,
lace.
