her dress and give to the breeze its...floating
sleeves and...the flowing curls of her coiffure."
~Balza 'Lily of the Valley'
I love lace - I have definitely said it before. I love it laying on tables, draped across vanities and piano tops. I love it hanging from closet doors and little hooks, sitting neatly on a chair seat, or even folded in a box waiting to be brought out and given its perfect place. I love happening upon a small fragment in a basket at a flea market (always at the very bottom), I love unwrapping a gift and watching it tumble out of tissue paper, I love looking at it in pictures, and I love love LOVE to wear it. When spring comes and fashion dictates we must wear lighter colors and airy fabrics I cannot wait to peruse shops for the inevitable lacey dress or tunic that is bound to appear. I am so enamoured with lace clothes that sometimes, if the piece is very, very pretty, I will buy it knowing full well I could never wear it and it will hang on my closet door just to look at. It seems a pity though that only I can see them so I have created a post all about 'wearing lace' - because when you wear lace nothing could feel more romantic, more feminine, and more lovely! I have also included another new drawing of mine - in the 'paper dolls' collection. Enjoy!
I am joining these blog parties!

You have such beautiful pieces, Jennelise! I have a few lacy tops that I just love and I especially love pairing them with jeans. I like the idea of something "tough" with something "soft".
ReplyDeleteHello! I only ever used to wear pretty lace pieces with dressy outfits but in the last year I have started wearing them all the time. :) Why not!!?? I like to put on a pretty top with some jeans when I go out -even just to run errands. Thanks for commenting!

Jennelise, I love you girl..... you took the words right out of my mouth on how I feel about lace. Frankly I can't get enough of it even though my home is filled with it and certainly my wardrobe. Dressing feminine has always been my kind of thing. By any chance please drop by Mari's blog called a pocket full of roses.... she has a cuff bracelet to die for and kims site called Paris Rags... you'll be delighted.

I have to say . . . You look so beautiful in your photos. Lace is a favorite with me as well. I love it's beauty and how it floats when made into a dress or skirt.
ReplyDeleteNancy
Hello, you post this entry or stay fabulous! I am fascinated by the combination pearls and lace, for me the most romantic! Greetings, Rose M.
ReplyDeleteHello, this post looks lovely. I'm also into lace and pale roses.
ReplyDeleteTake a look at my blog if you like.

You have a beautiful collection of lace. It's really art, isn't it? Lace can be so individual, like how everyone's fingerprints are unique. I don't even really understand how it's made, so you've piqued my interest in finding out more.
ReplyDeleteI hear ya girl! I am crushing on that dress. Looks like maybe a dolled up vintage slip? Sigh...I love lace, too! To wear or to look at.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Judy
Wearing lace makes me smile. It's so beautiful and lovely on the skin that it sparks a crystalline twinkle in my eye. In it, I even imagine my goosebumps as pearls when I catch a breeze. Everything takes a romantic twist.
ReplyDeleteHi. I just discovered your blog through Pinterest. I am visiting you from Collarcitybrownstone. I love the lace clothes on your blog. I wish women would go back to dressing really feminine and romantic.
ReplyDeleteI've always loved lace but only wore it for special times, however, I am wearing it every day now along with ruffles. Yesterday I got compliments on looking 'BEAUTIFUL' wearing lace. I can't stop looking at lace of all kinds everywhere. I just embellished some shoes with it which I'm about to post about with pictures....lace is me from now on :D blessings of beauty, Lacy
