Damask Dreams

If you didn't know by now, DVF is one of my favorite designers. It's not only because I love every item of every season, but who doesn't adore DVF's way of living? Love is life life is love...

I've basically written a love letter about DVF in my The Woman I Want To Be post. Honestly, go read her books and you'll be looking at life in a whole different way. My way of life?

Making everyday sparkle.

This delicate sequin black lace top by DVF is what I live for at the moment. It's delicate, but it's sparkle and shine adds a playful element. The intricate but simplistic work makes it a show stopper and the main focal point of any outfit. To keep it that way, I paired it with what I like to call the basic blogger skirt.

What blogger haven't you seen this type of skirt on before? It's a great basic and who doesn't live for those, "Oh! You caught me mid twirl with everything from my hair down to my shoes perfected! I look like I'm having a great time, don't I?"

I'm not being pessimistic, just poking a little fun at what we all do, including myself...Waldorf Wardrobe post anyone? Anyways, this perfect black skirt is by Tibi. Although I don't tend to gravitate towards longer skirts like this, it's nice to come out of your comfort zone once in awhile.

But what oddly enough keeps me comfortable is high heels. I can't get enough of them and don't have enough of them, although my closet would say otherwise. This go-to pair black pump is by Steve Madden in the version Proto. Comfortable and a classic, like me but without the bad puns or very sarcastic humor.

Jewelry! Now this is what makes an outfit sparkle. This Juniper Tassel Drop Earrings are from The Shopping Bag. Fringe is in, and so are big earrings - so why not combine the two? That's exactly what these earrings did. They're so lightweight as well! I cannot get enough of them.

So, what is your daily mantra for life...or just for a day by day basis?
