The Honeymooner And What She Packed

24.11.10


images via Lauren Moffatt

Well, such is the name of Lauren Moffatt's Spring 2011 collection. "For as long as I can remember there has been a dress hanging in my mother's closet. Although she wore it on her honeymoon, it continued to hang in her closet for decades...this collection is inspired by that dress."- Moffatt

How dare I speak on Spring when it's bone-chilling cold outside you may ask? My apologies, but I just could not resist the urge, seeing as these pieces have been tickling my vintage sensibilities for quite some time now. I imagine that if the ladies of the Brady Bunch went for tea in 1920s British countryside, this is what they would wear. Each piece conveys such a whimiscal lightness that brings to mind images of field frolicking. Utterly girly without compromising on sophistication, I love the fun use of patterns, colours, fabric and details. Quite frankly, I think these pieces would sit very nicely in the luggage of any globetrotting honeymooner and non-honeeymooners alike. Styled by Michel Onofrio, you may take a look at the rest of the collection here.

I'm eyeing the jumpsuit and sheer pastel dress. Any pieces tickle your vintage/feminine/countryside sensibilities?

Bisous,
Abi

All of them are great, but my favourites are the 5th and 10th ones :) And those socks in the heels are great!!

Penny Dreadful Vintage said...

I adore all of them, but love the pastel blue cape with petal collar... even though it would look AWFUL on me. The green chiffon maxi skirt is also rather fab.

They all tickle my sensibilities, but not my price point! Still, I find a lot of inspiration in these pieces, the light-heartedness and the colour...
