Streetwalker: Pearls of Wisdom

Got Her: Walking down Prince on her way to lunch.

Stalked Her: The lace lured us in.

Shot Her: Her light pink dress with its black lace overlay had us yearning to revive our lace addiction. When we got closer we noticed her super cute Miu Miu flats and layered pearls. We love how she managed to look fresh and young while combining such classics.

She Said: “I like a little bit of everything, and I’ve been super into pearls lately.”

We Say: Antique chic. Nice.

Lacey Summer

This Voile Dress from Need Supply Co. (which we just found online thanks to Nylon) is incredibly pretty, but not in a boring way. And at only $52 is a must-add to our summer rotation. We love the vintage feel and there’s just the right amount of lace.

Be warned, this dress not for the mild-mannered: its length is not as demure as your typical lace Victorian number.

Trendspotting: Peek-a-Boo Lace

peekaboo lace trend for fall 09 paris.jpgLace has popped up in a few different ways this season, but it’s at its best, and most interesting, when used in panel form.

It’s come in extremes - the black and very fine sheer lace dress from Preen isn’t for everyone, but the girl who wears it is the guaranteed center of attention. Stella McCartney’s version is a little bit sweeter. She cut strips out of her black, evening nightgown-dress and filled the holes with classic lace. And Christian Lacroix carved little lace windows in each side of his otherwise conservative black dress making Siri Tollerod’s waist look even smaller.

Pretty much anyone could wear a version of this trend - but it’s one that won’t translate well with poor quality fabrics which could inhibit its trickling down. Though you could always cut holes in your favorite dress and sew in your own strips of lace. Or not.

Quote of the Day

“What is that? … Oh, lace. Ugh.” - Jenny’s internship advisor on the dress she made for her, on last night’s Gossip Girl.
