Cocktail Attire

LACE LOOKS: 3.1 Phillip Lim resort 2011, look #29 (center) & Valentino fall 2009 couture, looks #5 (left) & #28 (right)
Say hello to my lace shift with leather patches, fashioned for a dancing wallflower... Provenance: Look #29 from Phillip Lim's recent resort collection. Purchased: DRESS, a shop on Boston's Newbury St - I placed a phone order after spotting it on their meticulously photographed blog (shop HERE).
LITTLE BLACK DRESSES: Jane Birkin & Serge Gainsbourg (above) & John Singer Sargent, Madame X (below) 3.1 Phillip Lim dress. Vintage belt & jewelry (including Lisner bracelet - bottom). Valentino Mary Janes.
Lust-worthy LBD'S: Madame X grandly sporting a painted-on sweetheart gown & Jane Birkin louchely slinking in a bohemian crochet tunic. My dress is a hybrid of seemingly sheer but certainly covered.
Flashback to Valentino's noir-nude lace frocks... Designers Maria Grazia Chiuri & Pier Paolo Piccioli breathed leggy youthfulness into the couturier with shadowy layers of tulle & glinting beadwork.
