{I'd Rather Gather}

What better piece to join you on a summer picnic than the Deco Button-Up Romper? Ah, I'm sure we all can't wait for afternoons reading under shady trees!

The Deco Button-Up Romper is one of my personal favorites as it buttons up or or apart to create 2 pieces. It's also made of the softest matte silk on theeee planet! This piece is available in an assortment of colors, so feel free to send any requests along (hint-it's amazing in black)!

Available in sizes 0-8 {a size chart can be found in the listing}

Top off this ballet-inspired look from my Spring 2011 collection with the new Lilian Antique Orange Blossom Hair Combs! Everything here is handmade with lots of love, just for you.

{Shimmer Slip + Pre-Sale}

Ladies and Gents,

I'm so happy to announce that I'll be hosting another pre-order for this heavenly slip dress from my current Spring2011 collection! The Shimmer Slip Dress is super stunning in person; I wish my photos above could do it justice. (photos below are from the amazing, Jose Villa!)

This piece is handmade with ornate crystals, a delightfully stretchy matte silk and scrumptious bows. The straps are fully adjustable for a flexible and comfortable fit.

I'm currently taking orders for this piece at a reduced rate! Choose from, black, ivory or nude (pictured), or if you have a color in mind that you'd like to propose, I'd love to hear it!

Available in sizes 0-8. A size chart is available in the listing.

{Peachy Bottom}

My mom brought this splendid, fanny-pinching postcard back from Paris for me. I think it's pretty charming, don't you?

Anyway, The Harlow Mesh Blouse is looking very lovely, indeed! I love this sweet ballerina-inspired top paired with my silk Petal Scalloped Shorts and Peplum Set.

These two whimsical pieces, also available in black, are available to purchase below. Please allow 2 weeks for your pieces to be handmade for you before shipment.
