Ladies, if you please...

Where northern hemisphere Winter 2011/2012 featured furs, extravagant neon colours, obligatory BLAHK, rich cocooning fabrics and eye dizzying prints on prints on prints... this gorgeous editorial showcasing new Spring 2012 season garments for Vogue US beckons to our softer side ladies.

Pastel hues, textures, embellishment, modest hemlines - its a fresh ladylike view.  I just love it - and lucky us, because we haven't really finished with summer yet in Melbourne (fingers crossed), we can emulate these silhouettes right now.

But whilst the look is Mad Men-esque (below the knee, soft palette, feminine), and the background is modern mid-century (barcelona chairs); the beehive has been hi-jacked and rock n rolled and back-combed - just a little; and the shoes are still teetering and edgy.  I gotta say, I love it - though not sure that  rocking up at school drop off in the morning would be suited to this look - but then again....?  What's that saying... you can never be too overdressed?

How will you change your silhouette this coming season? Are you a below the knee hemline kinda girl?

Hemlines anywhere near the knee and I'm there for sure. Not so sure about the pastel hues. I do appreciate them, just not for me personally. I am defintley a BLACK girl (with some white every now & again)

Yes, I am definitely loving the lengths—I will wear any length, but find these to be most flattering and feminine!

Hope your week is going very well…

Ah, I love this editorial! I've been obsessed with the Nina Ricci dress in the last photo for weeks now. I could see wearing it to a fancy brunch or bridal/baby shower. Love it!

I am a knee or a little below the knee hemline kind of girl. Longer lengths just don't work that well for me. Very elegant silhouettes in these photos. xo
