In Love With Lace: Always And Forever

valentino is the master of lace

In love with lace, always and ever since I can remember.


I still hold dear the delicate lace handkerchiefs given to me and still adore the first lace skirt I ever bought.


I use and wear them both, often.

Lace is the fabric that never dates; it makes us feel super feminine and really adds that extra to the wardrobe.


It is about now that the wardrobe feels ready for summer. The big shopping is done and all that is needed are sunny days to wear those kaftans and venture out in espadrilles. Colour and pattern come to mind and the sombre textures of winter are relegated to the back of the cupboard.



I still like to make adjustments and build in pieces that make me feel I have a brand new look. Adding a new jacket, changing hues or mixing in textures can really make the wardrobe come alive and feel fresh.


That’s why I am in love with lace. It does all that and more.

The lace pieces I have invested in are probably my greatest successes. On a cost per wear basis and feel-good-in-what-I-am-wearing mood, they are the outright winners.


Lace is a collectible and something that I plan on adding piece by piece to the wardrobe every year.



I have no excuses; I am in love with lace, xv.
