GRACE IN LACE

Good morning, Everyone! Hope you are all having a great weekend!

I've been saving this cute two-piece number from Love & Lemons for Valentine's Day, but as luck would have it, Emil and I got ourselves invited to a dinner party last night, so I just couldn't resist taking this lace wonder out for a walk. Not that I actually thought I would be able to resist wearing it before Valentine's Day, but I did manage to hold off for about 2 weeks and that has got to be a new record for me! Another positively wonderful outcome of this decision is that I am now going back to shopping for something else to wear on V-Day, and I don't know about you guys, but shopping for Valentine's Day dresses is one of my favorite things to do!:)

GOING GREEN

Good morning, Everyone! Hope you are enjoying your week! As some of you may know, last year I was chosen as one of the winners of Vanity Fair International Best-Dressed list. I don't think words can describe what an honor it was to earn a spot alongside some of my biggest fashion icons of all times, including Audrey Hepburn and Diana Vreeland.
So, naturally when Vanity Fair announced this year's Best Dressed challenge, I simply couldn't resist entering once again.

CROCHET CRUSH + CELINE CLUTCH & VALENTINO PUNKOUTURE PUMPS

Good morning and weekend, Everyone! Emil and I had one of those super crazy days yesterday. A bunch of meetings during the day, 2 photoshoots and a late dinner. So, I figured this was a perfect opportunity to pull out my new crochet skirt. I got it before New York and it's been really tough knowing it'll be at least 2 weeks before I get to wear it. You know how I get with cute new things:) Seriously, I had a crazy idea of taking it to New York with me, but decided that there was no way I can pull off crochet in 20 degree weather:) 
Reason why I love this skirt so much, is because it really is one of those versatile pieces I'm always gushing about. Yesterday, I paired with a belted blazer, but I think It would look equally great with an embellished sweatshirt or a nice button-down tied at the waist, for a more casual look. What do you guys think? How would you wear it?
