Lace ...

I am still blown away every time I see a picture of Kate Middleton’s lace wedding dress (or a picture of Kate, for that matter). And it seems that the whole world is in love with lace at the moment.

And how can you not be with dresses such as these ones below by Australian-based designer Collette Dinnigan? Do yourself a favour and look at her profile and history as designer on her website.

I also love the dress by Erdem (in my dreams!) and the lace skirt from Zara (actually wearable). By the way, Zara is opening their first-in-SA store (a whole 2100sqm!!) in Sandton City next month.

And then, the coup de grace by Christian Louboutin……..
