    Wooow, simple but and forthright. I love that elegance and the detail of the ribbons in the shoes! Just today I was thinking in adding a big ribbon to the top of my rain boots. Xxx

    The silhouette of that dress is pure perfection. LBD (and, in my opinion, any monochrome dress with clean and polished cuts) are perfect in every situation and so fun to style!
