february inspiration

Thursday, February 16, 2012
The Cherry Blossom Girl collaborated with Etam once again and I'm so excited! I love this line, it's so feminine and beautiful. The photography is so dreamy too, and the spring flowers add the perfect, innocent touch. You can take a look at the full collection here. 

As soon as I laid eyes on this dress, I fell in love. Everything about it is positively delightful and the neckline is similar to Kate Middleton's beautiful wedding dress. *sigh*

My newest mission is to hunt down a pretty little hat and bag rack for the back of my door. I have too many bags to just hang from the doorknobs so I think a pretty set of hooks would come in very useful. It would also look quite lovely too.

The latest campaign by To Be Adored  is pretty, no? I like the modern take on the vintage-style dresses. The embellished collars and cat-eye glasses add that little extra something, don't you think? 

Whew! The week is almost over! I'm keeping on top of my multiplying homework, thank goodness, and the next few years seem slightly less daunting (hopefully this mindset will last!). I'm completely exhausted though because I stayed up really late last night reading a book I just couldn't put down. My eyes are now quite droopy and all I want to do is melt into my bed and fall into a deep slumber. Hope you enjoyed this tid-bit of inspiration! 
P.S: I also have exciting news! Avenue M will be experiencing a few new changes over the next few weeks. Christina is going to be designing me a new header, how wonderful! Thank you ♥

Oh man, that white, vintage looking dress by To Be Adored looks soooo pretty, it reminds me of this dress one of the girls from The Like is wearing in one of their photos which I always looked at with jealousy.
