When I first saw these LAMB Triple Lace booties, my heart skipped with joy. Finally, a shoe manufacturer who cuts small enough to give me a shot at some Ann D -esque Triple Lace footwear. I’m sized out of Ann Demeulemeester shoes every time, so I’m pretty excited to have these new LAMB “Valisa” booties.
Cute, huh?
Every now and then, I become enamored with the offerings at Forever 21. Now is one of those times. I’ve been in the store twice within the last week. Call me a glutton for punishment. 
Anyway, I became intrigued with this dress, so I bought it …
Now, I’ll be the first to admit there’s a lot wrong with it, BUT it is Swiss Dotted tulle, which I have a weakness for. A few days after purchasing the dress, I saw some of the F/W 2010 collections from NYFW and saw this beauty from Oscar de la Renta …
A dream was born. No doubt it’s somewhat of a distance between f21 and ODLR, but I believe it’s doable. I’m in the process of working on it and show you my progress so far …
They say, “The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” I’ve definitely broken inertia and have removed the bow at the bottom of the dress and cut off the lace ruffles around the neck line. Next, I’ll pick up a better chemise than the one I’m wearing here, which is from Target, and add a bow belt and another Swiss Dot top underneath the dress. I’ll post pictures again when it’s finished.

Chère Carole, I simply have to say that I really like the way these Dizzy triple lace booties ideally illustrates the “Fetish Finery” idea AND the way your dotted tulle Dress marvelously emphasizes your etheral porcelain skin (“AND Now I Truly need to catch my breathe”) !!!
Hope you’re Well Dear.
à Bientôt, Antoine
