into the woods :: kelly love a//w 2012

kelly love's new a//w 2012 collection has me super-lusting every single piece!! the lines and patterns are so dainty and fun. needless to say, i hope to own the above pieces before fall!

in the depths of the forest a bittersweet tale of love and loss weaves its way into the land.....

into the woods we go......

take a journey into the romantic darkness of the russian woods with rich earthy colours, enticing textures and snippets of folk tales as inspiration.

exotic wildflower prints wash over cotton tensel, boucle wools are adorned with corded lace & piping while the signature sandwashed silk gives the collection a sumptuous feel.

ladylike midi dresses, high waisted cigarette pants, classic blouses and the labels iconic jumpsuits are  constructed from a palette of blood red, nude, french navy and dusty blue.

gatsby glam :: kelly love s//s 2012

i wanna rouge my knees and roll my stockings down...and all that jazz.

good golly do i love this new line entitled pocket full o' posies by the talented australian {now london transplant} designer kelly love! when i read the collection statement before opening, i became deliciously giddy at the thought of "picnics in the meadow...old fashioned femininity, vintage lingerie and 1930's cocktail parties." ughh, yes please!!

i couldn't help thinking of daisy buchanan as i flipped through the lookbook. the patterns are simply enchanting and the shapes - ah, those shapes. they seem so true to the decade in which they embody. i just can't seem to get enough. they all seem so flouncy and light - absolutely perfect for spring and summer.

 kelly, best of luck to you in this new season. this collection is truly magical.
