"I love Beauty, it's not my fault" - Valentino



Yesterday I spotted this dress on the Coveteur, it a Carolina Herrera, worn by Karla Martinez. I am in love with this dress! Then is got me thinking about how much I love dresses and how amazing it must be to be a couture dress designer....

Which lead me to think about one of my favorite dresses, my wedding dress.
.....ironically, the initial choice was between a a Carolina Herrera and the dress I ended up choosing below, by Manuel Mota. The Carolina Herrera was of course classic and beautiful, but when I saw this dress on a headless mannequin in the corner of a Maiden Lane shop in SF - I instantly knew this was the one!

I loved my Mothers dress too, by Teri Jon

funny candid...not a great photo of me - but great photo of the dress

Another huge plus - is that I could move in it -- which is always nice in a gown!


I need to run! ...still I thought I would leave you with the trailer from
Valentino, The last emperor. Ahhh to be a Dress designer......
I find this documentary really funny!



Ciao Bella!

Your Full of It!


As a way to cope with the weather, I virtual shop (still, I mostly end up buying albums on itunes.) Can't wait to dust off my full skirts and dresses this spring -- loving this trend. It's flattering, comfy and polished.

Pink Tartan, Daisy Dress - abstract print above, plain tan below (*the back has an exposed zipper) These are Twirlin skirts ladies - nice and full.



Love the exposed zipper...

Joe & I - tanner times

Rockin the full skirt last summer. Shoshonna 2010, on sale now on blue fly


Then, this Valentino dress - not full, but I am in love.....see on the runway here
The roads are clear, off to the design center!

Have an amazing day ;)!
