"I consider lace to be one of the prettiest imitations ever made of the fantasy of nature;
lace always evokes for me those incomparable designs
which the branches and leaves of trees embroider across the sky,
and I do not think that any invention of the human spirit
could have a more graceful or precise origin."
I'm swearing to God that I would actually wear these shoes,
& think I was cute
something for all the jeans girls who are made at me,
maybe just a little longer if you're older than 8
this must have been a wedding, but why not for everyday...just without the favors.
you know, by now, that I absolutely adore Dolce & Gabbana...
probably because they're Italians.
fashionistas gotta start young
"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."

Lace says 'luxury' to me.
ReplyDeleteI think that Catherine Middleton did more for lace in this generation than anyone or anything else.
We definitely like the same things, Marsha...I love lace, so feminine. Love the first pic...I had a blouse very similar to this in the early 80s...maybe I still have it! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat image pic 8 and the Dolce & Gabbana dress...exquisite.
Have a great day...oh, and yes by the way I am tall...

ReplyDeleteDolce & Gabbana...sigh...and those shoes...!
I wore my grandmother's Victorian wedding dress for my wedding because I could never have found a dress that had more beautiful handmade lace and embroidery.
Yes, yes! Love lace.
Who could describe laces any better than Coco Chanel?

Dear Marsha,
ReplyDeleteI LOVE lace, be it in fashion or in interiors.
I love the mixture of lace and leather and the examples that you have shown are just beautiful.
..... and Burano is wonderful, isn't it ? We loved Burano more than Murano when we were in Venice.
I've always loved that photograph of the shoes.....I have the image of the black ones saved in my pictures and the cupboard of old lace is wonderful. I also love the first image and would love a blouse like that.
A beautiful post Marsha, full of the best examples of lace ( maybe apart from the shorts !!!!) XXXX
The shoes are lovely, in the tradition of Cinderella ~ Alexandra
ReplyDeleteI love how timeless lace is, yet it's constantly being used to reinvent fashion as well. And it can have both an utterly feminine vibe, as well as a more darker gothic one. Adore that white gown!!
ReplyDeleteI love how you've shown all the wondrous ways lace can communicate all kinds of moods and ideas :)

Lace is the ultimate girly material!!! It can look innocent or sexy. This baby is too cute!!! ~Val
ReplyDeleteHi Marsha,I adore the romance and mystery of old lace, loving the shot of the linen cupboard and the crystal panda clutch!Sharon xx
