GLAMOUR PHOTOGRAFY

"Autumn arrives in early morning, but spring at the close of a winter day."

. . . of all the beautiful things there to look forward to in spring -- longer days and the promise of evenings on terraces, pastel dresses with golden shoes and the first magnolia blossoms -- perhaps the most intoxicating, might be the change to begin again at winter's end, fresh and new and in extravagant shades of spring white . . .

. . . buttercream-coloured wrap dresses and light linen blazers, pretty pantsuits and delicate sheer trenches -- spring's elegant neutrals go from an early start at the office to a late lunch or a dashing dinner date with ultra-stylish and perfect ease . . .

This feels like one of the more subdued posts we've done in a while, and perhaps that's the intent of the classic, clean designs by 3.1 Phillip Lim. This year marks the debut of Lim's lingerie collection, which can now be found exclusively at his namesake stores. In true 3.1 style, each piece is understated, elegant and great for layering. The prices for the lingerie collection range in price between $55-$150...which is better than we expected.
Will you be wearing Phillip Lim's new underpinnings?

It's been a while since I found a design that I was as crazy about as the {3.1 Phillip Lim Citron silk pleated Grecian dress with boned bodice}, but this {Donna Karan Bi-color halter dress}, made from sheaths of chalky white and silver gray satin, comes close . . .

While memories of Valentine's Day still linger, Spring is around the corner and I'm dreaming of canary yellow and the promise of warm breezes . . .
