Today is the first day of Spring....so I thought I would post something suitably flowery, soft and pretty....but

Paris Fashion Week SS 2012...Before Hermès

 

 Before Hermès, Paris, October 2011. 

A simple summer maxi dress to slip on when it is unbearably hot.....as it was in Paris last September/October during fashion week. Accessorise with a simple pendant, sandals, sunscreen, a slick of eyeliner and a smoosh of tinted lip cream (nothing that will smudge or run in the heat). I love Fresh sugar lip treatment in rose (which I always stock up on when I visit NYC).

Recreate her look (kind of):

Twelfth St. by Cynthia Vincent Empire maxi dress, Patterson J. Kincaid St. Tropez dress, Chinti and Parker twisted shoulder dress (great empire line which would work over a bikini after a day at the beach), Leaves of Grass Avignon printed silk dress

UGG Australia Isadora wedge sandals or Mulberry leather wedge sandals

Gorjana Chloe shimmer pendant necklace, Phoebe Coleman The Power of Love pendant or Whistles Owl necklace
