Mini lace dress


It's not a cliché to connect it with innocent aggression, says my arty friend about lace dresses. There is challenge among designers every time those lingerie items come beneath our clothes, in tend to turn out them to be sophisticated and powerful, they are endeavoring to keep secrecy and glance of sexuality in items. No doubt there is something exceptional about those fabrics like sheer or lace and yes, enough prove of their exception is their usage that is prevailing on runaways, either as on weddings and funerals. While Black Lace symbolizes sexuality and the death, White lace is pure innocence, fragility, and love. Every time I plunge into Great Expectations I almost can clearly imagine Miss Havisham, marvelous in her tragedy wearing a white dress with the lace gloves in her white room.
Fabric that was a symbol of nobility and status symbol for so long can produce sophisticated and elegant glance but either can be flashy in cheap meaning. So when choosing lace dress, one need to pay attention on quality and its softness, especially if it’s all made of lace fabric. Made by hand, of silk or cotton mostly, this garment can be very artwork though machine techniques today have almost the same outcome. Critically ignore prom cuts!
With closeness of fall it wouldn’t be a bad idea to get one black lace dress that you can be able to wear with high heels in glamour manner of Sunset Boulevard same as with tough motorist boots in the evenings when you feel edgy. And can it be something more sensual, romantic and melancholic for late summer days and evenings as white dress in lane or cotton with cutwork or made of knotted lace.

rock'n'beach

Are you still preparing for your summer days? Well sometimes we know that we need to have summer essentials and classics like stripes or raffia sandals or espadrillas or Panama hat but yet what we gonna wear when we are in our rock mood. You know sometimes that there are the days we don’t want to look on the beach like sunset illustration on vintage t-shirt. Those days when our hair is not in mignon but wavy and when we roll The Rolling Stones on repeat on our Ipods. What will we wear in those days?
Bathing suit is but also it doesn’t have to be key item of your swimwear. Paying attention on details can be equally creative way to create image for your rock mood.
Why wouldn’t you have your nails or lips in matte florescent orange color? Why to keep your chains off the sun when you can be glossy on the sun? Girls from LITTER SF that I spotted through lelamoda are really one chic mess when it comes to chains. Their jewels on the legs, shoulders or attached on swimsuit will make a glamorous groupie out of you in a second.
Tank tee top you will roll over your Rolling Stone mood has to be bit trashy chic or little in manner of Lenny Kravitz. Or get one of that Tank top that Alex Wang is creating for our mannequin mood. Or try with metallic detail shorts like Dries Van Noten had in their summer collection but if you cannot get that, wear silky pajama shorts on tough tee or printed tank top. Or simply just use your old Guns’n Roses tee like a sundress. You will be adorable. Pay attention on your hair in this summer days, for French wavy but silky hair make sure you use one of those hair sprays with UV protection and use a shampoo for the frequent use. Mine favorite is Vichy Dercos for cheveux normaux á sece. Tres jolie, ain’t?
