Love Ellie's photos of her wearing the Alençon lace shrug. Plus, as readers of this blog know, I do like a horse.

A bit of ruffle.

One of my ruffle boleros dressed up Heather's wedding. I love a girl who knows how to pop her collar.

Custom dress embellishment for Kiran. Flowers in oyster silk chiffon and ivory silk organza, grey vintage tulle. Trimmed with vintage velvet millinery leaves and guinea feathers. Dress: Jenny Yoo Margaux.

Work in progress.

Three for the road.

...a few more creations from Finishing School. Our brides are terribly clever!

Custom dress ornament for Jessica.

The beginning of a little something special for Dana...

Polka dot linen bolero for Jodi. As someone who tends to get a bit crazy with detail, sometimes it's nice to be reminded how fresh and pretty something simple can be.

Off to the races!

It's Kentucky Derby Day! And since every well-turned out lady simply must wear something on her head at the races, I thought I'd mention that we have many gorgeous new Twigs & Honey headpieces, headbands and hairpins at The English Dept. Myra's pieces are completely exquisite and we're so lucky to have them. They're too lovely to stay here long, though! The best pieces will go to the fleet of foot...

Apricot.

I am crazy for this color right now. Two new hair ornaments for the shop.

Moody blues.

These watercolor blues and greens seem just right for sunny/stormy April. Flower and leaf dress embellishment and sash for Sarah.

Don't call it gray.

You may know that grey (I just really have to spell it that way--so much prettier!) is my favorite color, so I'm happy Shontee let me talk her into this lovely silvery bolero to go over her wedding dress. Embellishments are silk organza flowers, hand dyed bits of lace and embroidery, and vintage pearls and jewels.

Winter blossoms.

Custom dress embellishment for Clare. Velvet dusty miller leaves, silk peonies and hydrangeas. Such a lovely, ghostly palette--as if every petal had been delicately frosted over.
