. . . crazy for the perfect styling, by london-based fashion stylist fer decartaya, in these hopelessly lovely shots by photographer xavi gordo -- high-waisted and romantic lace shorts paired with structured handbags, stylishly messy side-braids and thick-rimmed glasses, delicate seafoam silk chiffon blouses cinched with ultra-thin teal-coloured belts, and the beautiful layering of tartan and ruffles, . . .

. . . suddenly rethinking the entire summer wardrobe after happily happening upon this insanely fun and flirty mix of layers, accessories, prints & patterns, perfect for dancing on the beach on a bright, blue-sky day . . .
{p.s.} and also, the very warmest congratulations to . . . mackenzie, winner of the impossibly romantic lace bangle set give-away:
*** congratulations, mackenzie! ***
thanks to everyone who entered & hope you're having a perfectly lovely tuesday,

{a note from liz at 24karas:}
I would just like to say thank you to everyone who participated in the 24karas Lace Bangle Set giveaway. We were so happy to see the positive response and all the lovely comments. Creating an Italian lace inspired line has been a collection we have been passionately working to perfect for the last 2 years. We are so delighted to finally be able to launch the line for our customers, new and old! A lot of love has been put into these delicate pieces which have all been created right here in NYC. I am happy they have found a lovely home that appreciates the fine art of craftsmanship and handmade goods.
Wishing everyone an inspiring summer!
xo,
Liz
