Butterflies Flutter by! 

Butterflies are the most beautiful insects (if not the ONLY beautiful insects). They remind me of summer and they’re a personal fave so it’s no surprise that they’ve been making their own cameos in fashion as of late.

• Giambattista Valli’s fall 2012 haute couture collection  sees the use of butterflies in ethereal veils and headpieces which really accentuates the fantasy mother nature feel of the whole collection.
• A recent editorial by Dazed & Confused also sees the use of butterflies and I’d check out this editorial because it’s absolutely stunning.
• Last and definitely not least a new pair of Christian Louboutin’s,  inspired by the story of Cinderella and her infamous slippers, have just recently come out flaunting crystal butterflies and delicate lace…. so  if you want a pair (like I do) a competition will be soon be announced where people will have the chance one of the twenty original pairs….Actually make that nineteen I have dibs on the first pair (in my mind…)
