Stopped back at Boyds today to try this dress that has been in the back of my mind for the last week! It’s by a small Parisian label called Fete Imperiale.
Here it is on the hanger:

Here is the detail on the skirt:

It is very sheer and did not think it was very flattering on me at all - much preferred it on the hanger. Glad I can move on from it!

The store also just opened a vintage jewelry counter and I tried on these AMAZING diamond earrings from Chanel’s 1932 plumes de Chanel collection. I. Died. IMG_8461.jpg

You look so lovely in this dress. I adore those earrings. Was the price sky high?

That dress is fantastic on you! And the earrings are lovely. You have excellent taste. Too bad the dress was too sheer because it really suits you. And I can see Nicole looking lovely in it too.

Thank you Nicole! The main problem was that it was so sheer - I would need to get a 3/4 length slip to go under it and I feel like that would ruin the look. And yes! [emoji85] well, sky high to me anyway. Price was $7300!

Well that's a shame because they both look lovely on you.

That's very sweet Genie. CC's beautiful figure and youthful glow would be hard to match!

You are all too sweet!! I also couldn't think of any good occasions where this dress would be appropriate. Any suggestions? And I agree about the earrings...I fell in love!! Way way out of budget though :doh:

I was thinking the dress was so pretty and ethereal - possibility for Engagement, CC?

Summer daytime garden/outdoor wedding (as a guest)?
Click to expand...
So that's what I thought too! But I already got the Missoni for that and think I should stick to my original plan of colorful Italian designer dress for what Im expecting will be an engagement in Italy...also I couldnt justify keeping them both unfortunately. The summer wedding idea is great though!

Purse picture! My twilly game needs improvement, and I'm not sure how well it will stay on a flexible handle. But I needed something to protect it from summer grubby hands. Is there a thread for twilly handle-wrapping tips?

In some lights the purse reads as pale blue, but it's a perfect match to the gris perle of the twilly. The card box is for scale, slightly larger than 2 packs of cards. (Yes, I found the cards online, and they match my *other* 2 twillies in red and blue. I think I'm on Ban Island now.)

This is a big purse at the 38 size. I definitely could have gone with a 35 or even 31. OTOH I'm 5'7" and fat so it's not wildly out of proportion, and in an emergency I can put my laptop in it.

Congrats! So pretty. Trims are awesome. I don't have this size, but I might someday. Twilly wrap looks great!!
