Need.This.Now.

There's something about this romper that I cannot get enough of!
So effortless and beautifully textured...

To me, this recalls a more boho-inspired version of the looks presented for the Dolce & Gabbana Spring/Summer 2011 shows seen below:

M Missoni + Gilt

Gilt Groupe provides such amazing styling for their shoots, and the looks provided for this M Missoni sale are a perfect example.

Though usually one to stick with neutral, solid shades, these looks scream utter perfection for a vacation on the Riviera and had me wishing for one as soon as I laid eyes on these looks...

Au Naturel

Shop Gilt, Give Hope

Further proof (as if it were necessary) that DVF can do no wrong.

Who knew it was possible to covet (quite literally) every piece from a collection, season after season?

The line's fun yet polished aesthetic is effortlessly chic and timeless, and needless to say I've been smitten for years.

A few highlights from the current Spring 2011 collection:

     


Tavle Daybag
in arguably the most wearable
shade of yellow I've ever laid eyes upon

                                           Skylar Romper and Maribelle Sac

 

Arely Bis Dress 

in Bright Pastel Forest

                                  


                           

                Arely Bis Dress

                                                                          in Giant Balloon Stripe with Eva Shoe and Stefanie Bag

 Irene Sandal

The contrast of the cobalt blue against the chocolate brown is amazing

Not Just For the Wedding Day

Even though a post highlighting wedding attire would seem more fitting for the month of June, I couldn't help but jump the gun.

The timing just seems so appropriate for me, not because I am a bride-to-be (because I most certainly am NOT), but rather because this is a big year of weddings for many others I know. 

I am a bridesmaid in two weddings this year, and am expected to attend several others as well.

 Further, being as interested and engrossed in fashion as I am, this is one of the few niches that I have not yet had a real reason to explore, and remain relatively unversed in.

With that being said, I've jumped right in, offering my assistance and opinion as best I can, helping to track down just the right dress.

This is how I've discovered a crop of new bridal sites, which not only offer gorgeous options for brides and brides-to-be, but also a wide array of beautiful, unique accessories, lingerie and party dresses that even those of us, sans fiance, can wear and appreciate!
