So the calendar has flipped from February to March and out of the black/grey (navy if you were feeling particularly happy) fog that has been most women's winter wardrobe, spring is about to make a tulle layered, floral extravaganza of an outing. Never has there been so many winged creatures or delicate bouquets adorning the catwalk as in Paris this week, courtesy of Valentino. The dresses are so beguiling, personally I can't stop fantasising about them. They are everything that I would never wear but at the same time something you wish you could wear every single day. Realistically though, I don't have the social diary for a dress anywhere near that elegant and intricate, so for now will make do with creeping out of my black skinny jean comfort zone and adding one flower, butterfly or hummingbird motif at a time.
Here are my favourites from the Italian dream along with some real 'ready to wear' inspiration...
