feminine and self assured...

colenimo - ss / 11

i never tire of these simply light, airy, romantic, and classic styles... this is why they fall under the category of timeless, i suppose.  pieces which make you feel both sexy and laid back.  feminine and self-assured.  ready to romp through any forest... wade barefoot through the streams... curl up in the branches of a favorite tree...

tousled hair pulled back, with a sunhat for the afternoon... a light tinted moisturizer for the lips. done. 
oh, how i'm longing for spring!

*****

some of the beautiful looks of colenimo, always inspired by moments in the past... including last summer's late-1920's inspired line, and this season's "paper moon" inspired look of the 1930's...

or the delicate looks of chloé, by creative director clare waight keller - "i looked at festival girls, girls on the street, and david bailey's photos of marie helvin and angelica huston on a beach," says keller. "there's a sense of feminine complicity, sensitivity, and sunniness in this collection."...

and i can't get enough of this tunic, from toujours toi and family affairs - ".. wear the scotland tunic over wool, navy stockings and wellies to take a walk across scotland's misty moors, wishing on a star beneath an endless night..."...

a collection of a few simple, comfortable, sturdy, and romantic accessories...

1) pointelle fringe booties, anthropologie ; 2) grand firmament necklace, anthropologie ; 3) ursula hat, minimarket:$81 ; 4) araks antonia bralette, anaïse ; 5) hansel from basel silk thigh highs, anaïse 


and who does this style better than steven alan? - "casual, smart, self-assured essentials"

doyle dress, steven alan


and, finally, my favorite 'go-to' item... the long, skim-the-floor, flowing skirt. done perfectly here by cabbages & roses...

each heirloom piece is both timeless and magical.  the perfect holiday ware for your little ones, ready to be passed down through the years, from child to child, family member to family member, and friend to friend


the little plume coat, complete with a hand stitched peacock, is just too wonderful! really wishing this came in my size ;)

oh my...



  


the deliciousness of bhldn, anthropologie's new wedding line, has finally launched!  not that this girl is currently in need of wedding fare, but that fact did nothing to quell the excited anticipation of seeing this loveliness...

i mean, the ethereal monarch gown!  


and i'm just loving the creamy colors ( shades just right for the nearly albino skin of someone such as myself )...





























not to mention a whole line of bridal party dresses, and jewelry, and shoes, and...






























well, you get the idea.  i'll leave you to it...
