Sequins by the sea.

Thursday, 3 May 2012

(Top - Pamela Usanto, skirt - ASOS, shoes - Tony Bianco, rings - Karen Walker, Sabo Skirt, vintage) 
                                                                           Photos by the exquisite Love Yaz.
There are moments when you stumble upon a designer whose sartorial creations are so synchronous to your personal aesthetic that it leaves you slightly breathless and yearning to possess everything that manifests from their talent. Pamela Usanto, with her whimsical materials, couture-like designs, and exquisitely meticulous craftsmanship, instantaneously had this effect on me when I came across her work a year ago. This blouse, a rare sample item of gossamer lace and intricate hand beading, is so beautifully delicate that there are no words that can ever serve to describe it with justice. Such a dream to wear and most certainly a piece that I will be coveting beyond the seasonal trends. 
                                                             Much love, Mandy. xx

    Mandy, you look amazing! That top is a piece you will have forever and ever that, like you said, will never go out of style. Great styling with the skirt as well! You picked a great scenery for the fabrics and it looks somewhat whimsical... I really love it!

    Love keeping up with your blog!

    There is so much awesomeness about this outfit. That top is so stunning on its own, but I really love how you paired it with the flowy seafoam skirt. The setting for your photos suits the ensemble perfectly. Absolutely gorgeous!
