ribbons and bows

this victor & rolf feels very lanvin-ey to me. which is, of course, good. cause. i love lanvin. silky and bows and volume! i don't know victor & rolf well enough to tell you whether it is a new thing to look lanvin-ey, or if it is old hat, and therefore not actually lanvin-ey but just similar-ey.

sense! did i make it?

i don't like the shoes. though. particularly those grey booties. nope. they're doing it wrong. the orange ones are close to being okay. so close. but. not.

'the night is darkening round me,
the wild winds coldly blow;
but a tyrant spell has bound me,
and i cannot, cannot go.

the giant trees are bending
their bare boughs weighed with snow;
the storm is fast descending,
and yet i cannot go.

clouds beyond clouds above me,
wastes beyond wastes below;
but nothing dear can move me,
i will not, cannot go.' (brontë)

or, you know. anything by edgar allan poe... would do. otherwise, this victor & rolf collection pretty well speaks for itself. i think.
