Valentino, Fall 2012

The creative force behind the Valentino label continues to impress and inspire, even though the master himself is no longer among us. I have always admired the sophisticated elegance and unforced femininity of the designs - delicate yet powerful images of nostalgia for the ladylike style

Workplace Love: Black

Sophisticated black interiors for the workplace? Yes, I love it!

 

Living Bliss: Elegant and organized in black

Elegant, clean, organized and spacious - exactly how I like it. I might need a little bit of color (not that these black decisions for the cabinets and walls aren't wonderful), but I love the design!

The red lips seem to be the ultimate accessory in this collection.
