Vicente Rey: The Lighter Side

Yesterday I proceeded to gush over the Beaujolais-soaked dark heart of his “Sur Mesure” collection. Reminiscent of boudoir attire, they drip with delicate detail…but today is another day. In the light of morning everything is bathed in dreamy, sparkling sunshine.

In his “Mariee” collection he explores the angelic themes of a wedding couture. The lace in this instance feeling more innocent and gold/silver embellishment echoing bridal radiance.

Ankle skirting lace with that glowing bride thing going on.

I already own the shoes that I will probably (if I ever get my act together) walk down the aisle in….but I really, really have second thoughts when I look at these ethereal beauties.

Silk and Gold details look soft and feminine.

Seriously, Vinny…can I call you Vinny?..I do. I DO.

Imaging this silvery lace glinting in the matrimonial glow…I do.

Back to work…

After a week off I am headed back into another project…my wedding shoes. I have been working on them for over a year in my sparest of spare time. With a white satin, peep-toe, Christian Louboutin base and crystal to violet ombre they are going to be lovely. Truly worthy of the hours and hours of work that they require. Currently at about 50%, I’ll be busy for many more Sundays. Don’t hold your breath but keep’em on the back burner.

Champagne Daydream

Last weekend I attended a very important wedding, the wedding of my best friend. As a gift I gave her these shoes…

Ombre peach fade with deco-inspired crystal details. As beautiful as these golden hued heels are, they never compared to the beauty of the blushing bride.
