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..."...
